Jennifer Garner eyes return to action movies

Actress Jennifer Garner wants to make a return to action movies after visiting her husband Ben Affleck on the set of his new crime drama Runner, Runner.

"I just visited my husband's set in Puerto Rico, and most of the crew knew me when I was doing action, and they were saying, 'Hey Jen, remember that fight scene'. It felt as if I was a different person than the one they were talking about. I do miss that part of my life a little," contactmusic.com quoted Garner as saying.

But the 40-year-old admits she may not be as daring as she was in her Alias days, especially now that she has children.

"I don't know if I'd be as cavalier about jumping off a building again," she said.

Garner became famous after the crime-fighting TV series Alias, and went on to star in superhero film Daredevil and Elektra. Since becoming a mother in 2005, she has opted for more dramas and romantic comedies like Juno and Valentine's Day.

She adores her job as a parent, but she has started to crave more fast-paced projects and is eager to get her adrenaline pumping again.

"I don't mind being a soccer mum. I am most certainly a go-and-sit-on-the-sideline mum. I love it. But I do miss the action. I would love to do some action again and shock myself a little," she said.
