Jennifer Garner On Sisterhood: “I Needed Her - And Reese Was There.”

Jennifer Garner joins Josh for a funny, heartfelt and unexpectedly emotional chat - yes, she cries twice. From the legacy of 13 Going on 30 to leading The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 on Apple TV, she reflects on longevity in Hollywood and why women over 50 are finally being centred as the heroes of their own stories. She reveals how Reese Witherspoon “rejected outright” Hollywood’s outdated belief that female-led stories don’t sell - and addresses the rumour about her “rough patch,” confirming Reese showed up when she needed her most. Jennifer also shares the bold letter she wrote to fight for her latest role, and speaks honestly about the constant tension between motherhood and ambition.
