In an interview with The Telegraph, the 21-year-old actor said she reached a point where she had no idea about who she was. "I didn't even know acting could be a job until I was about 13, 'cause I saw it as like playtime. But then when I was 19, I had a moment of being like, whoa, I'm 19, I've done 50-something movies, what am I? Who am I?

Jennifer Garner has said the revenge arc of her character in the upcoming film "Peppermint" felt "satisfying" to her as an actor.

This was an expression of that mom rage," Garner told Collider. "It's a fantasy, it's obviously not how everyone should live. Greek tragedy - there's something really satisfying about watching somebody take control of a situation and have some revenge," she added. When asked why she took a break from action films, Garner said motherhood made it tough for her to take up such roles. "I was having babies and they don't really go together. It's really hard. I did 'Kingdom' when I had a little baby and it's ...
