Jennifer Garner admitted Ben Affleck’s manhood was 'so big' filmmakers needed a 'wider lens'

Jennifer Garner once very publicly admitted that Ben Affleck's penis was so large, filmmakers needed a 'wider lens.'

The actress, 52, married 51-year-old Affleck back in 2005.

During their thirteen-year marriage, the couple had three children together - Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and 12-year-old Samuel.

However, their love story wasn't to last and they divorced in 2018.

Jennifer then moved on with entrepreneur John Miller, while Ben has since married old flame Jennifer Lopez.

While they're both happy in new relationships, a comment Garner once made about her former husband is sure to make her new beau squirm.

The 13 Going On 30 star once joked that Affleck's penis is so large, that filmmakers need a 'wide lens' to capture it all on camera, which is quite the compliment.

It was back in 2014 that Jennifer made the admission during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Ben had recently starred in Gone Girl alongside Rosamund Pike, and eagle-eyed fans noticed that he'd had a sneaky nude scene in the film.

Towards the end of the thriller, he slips into the shower, giving viewers a cheeky glimpse as he shuts the door.

His then-wife Jennifer was more than happy to speak about her partner's manhood after talk show host Ellen suggested the scene was a cunning plan to get more ratings for the film.

She responded: "He's showing his penis. I think you're probably onto something."

Turning to the crowd, she continued: "What I have to say is, 'You're welcome.' I just try to consider myself a charitable person and I wanted to give back. You give me so much, I wanted to give something back to all of you."

The mum-of-three said she wasn't fussed about Affleck going full-frontal in Gone Girl, as she was seemingly more preoccupied with the thought of how the film crew were going to capture it.

She explained: "It wasn't a discussion, it was like, 'Hey, at work today [director David] Fincher talked me into coming out of the shower.'

"And I was like, 'Oh, cool, well, I hope he had on a wide lens'."

Ben himself addressed the nude and how the director helped him through it during his acceptance speech at the 2014 Hollywood Film Awards.

He said: "I want to take this opportunity to thank David for the way he treated me. In particular, we had a shower scene in the movie.

"And David assured me, because trust is essential with directors and actors: 'Listen, if we tilt down we will never go far enough to see anything'. So, thank you David. And I'd like to thank you for keeping the set cool.

"Because if you are gonna have one chance for America to see your junk you want it to be cold. It's a real gift."
