We all have our favourite actors in films, but to have both of your parents in Hollywood is surely a difficult choice to make.
To have both of your parents making big gains in the film industry is surely a wonderful thing, but Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's children have differing views.
The former couple, who divorced in 2015 after ten years of marriage, have three children together - Violet, 17, Seraphina, 13, and ten-year-old Samuel.

While you think the children would feel equally the same about their parent's projects, that is certainly not the case, according to Garner.
In fact, the Catch Me If You Can actor has revealed that her children are not fans of her films, but the same cannot be said for their dad's projects.
Speaking to Allure in their May cover story, Garner explained: "They don't mind watching their dad, but they kind of want me to be their mum."

After explaining how her kids don't like watching her movies, Garner added: "They don't want to see me upset and women cry more in what we do. And they don't really want to see me in a romantic thing."
As film fanatics will know, Garner has starred in her fair share of romantic films, with the likes of 2004's 13 Going on 30 and 2010's Valentines Day.
While her kids may not like her films that much, it hasn't hampered her opinions on them.
"I have a lot of faith in my kids," she added. "I don't love every behaviour all the time, always. [But] it's gnarly growing up."

The cover story is actually not the first time Garner has spoken about her kids preferring their dad's movies to hers.
While doing the media rounds promoting her her new Apple TV+ show, The Last Thing He Told Me, Garner revealed that her children would probably not be watching.
To be honest, the show which - is based on the Laura Dave book of the same name - has not particularly been received well by critics, so maybe the children didn't miss much after all.

Anyhow, speaking to InStyle last month, Garner said: "My kids don't love to watch me in things," adding that they are often just 'supportive'.
Garner added that the kids decide not to watch her in film, as it can be a bit confusing to see 'your mom kiss someone or cry'.
And to be honest, that is a pretty valid excuse.
