Jennifer Garner recently threw herself an uncharacteristically big party for her fiftieth birthday.
The Alias alum told Town and Country Wednesday (October 26th), “I basically had a wedding for myself, I was so shocked that I was doing it.”
But it wasn’t all fun and games. The actress also asked her guests to fill 5,000 backpacks each with enough food to feed a family of four for a program called Blessings in a Backpack.

The actress also talks about being labeled as “nice” saying, “I have no reason not to be nice. My life is lovely.” But, she adds, “I’m not always just nice. I can also be salty, and I can be taciturn, or I can be really serious about what I want to get done. It’s not that I feel I’m underestimated in that way—I’m not afraid to stand up for myself and say, ‘Just so you know, this isn’t going to fly with me.’ When that happens, I don’t want you to be shocked that I’m a real person.”
