One of the saddest parts of Jennifer Garner's interview was when she revealed how paparazzi had made every single day of her life at that phase a super-challenging one. As there were always a massive amount of shutterbugs and reporters, who used to follow her, no matter where she went. She said, "We lived down a street that was chock-a-block full of actors, much more successful and famous and decorated than me, including Ben, and they'd all go by one by one, no problem, and then I'd go do a school run, and it'd be 15 cars going with me." Concluding her conversation, Jennifer opened-up about the request they had made to their kids at that turbulent time. She said, "When they were smaller, and there were things out there that were shocking, my request to them was always, 'Let Dad and I talk you through whatever it is'. I'd tell them, 'If you see an image on the front of a magazine, I'll look at it with you, and we'll process all the scary feelings that come up together."
