According to Jennifer Garner, an inevitable part of being a parent is having to receive a phone call from your children's school to be informed about a lice outbreak — something which she experienced with Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel Affleck.
What she referred to as "the call" saw her and her family contract the easily transmittable infestation. Garner shared that they all had to drench their hair in oil to treat the condition. "It looks like you put Crisco in your hair, but you smell a little bit like a mixture of sulfur and rosemary," she told Jimmy Fallon (via YouTube). "And you do it every day, for months."
While many would use this time to quarantine themselves, Garner stated that she had met a notable celebrity during this time. Ben Affleck — who was open to leaving the house with the sulfur and rosemary stench — persuaded Garner to leave the kids with a babysitter so they could go to a party. Upon arriving, the "Juno" actor stated that the first person she ran into was none other than George Clooney. From their initial greetings, Garner sensed that the aroma from her medicated treatment got to Clooney. Despite his politeness about the situation, she is sure he could smell something strange coming from her. One thing is for sure; Garner is on her toes to make sure another outbreak of that magnitude doesn't happen again.
