"He was a little too calm about it, between us, I felt like he could have been a little bit more My wife, you better be careful with her.' That wasn't it, he was just like Go, go for it babe. Harder!'"
Garner, whose daughter Violet turns two in December, admitted that getting back into the hardcore action genre did take some getting used to; so much so that the 36-year-old ended up in the hospital during the shoot, much of which took place in the desert heat.
