Calling Ben Affleck a slow director, Jennifer Garner admits she does not want to star in a movie directed by her husband because she wants to finish her work soon and meet their children.

Though her marriage with Ben Affleck is doing fine, Jennifer Garner has admitted that she does not want to star in a film which is helmed by her husband. In a recent interview with Chron, the actress revealed why she does not want to be directed by him, saying "I don't want to because he is not the world's fastest director, and I like to get in and do my work and go home and put the kids to bed."

She additionally explained, "I'm afraid there would be this moment where I would say, 'OK. You've got it. I promise you it is in the can. I've got to go home.' But you know, life is long and I never say never." However, Jennifer still considered Ben a good filmmaker, stating "I think Ben is brilliant at what he does. I am so happy for him and proud of him."

During the interview, Jennifer also said she has no plan to work on another TV series after her hit ABC's show "Alias" ended in 2006, though she is still open for the possibility in the future. "But I never say never to TV because it has been really good for me," she claimed. "The great thing about TV is you can stay in one place. Eventually my kids aren't going to want to be living all over the place. Television would allow us to settle down."
