Jennifer Garner keeps it casual in a button-up jacket and blue jeans while out with a friend in Brentwood

Jennifer Garner was pictured stepping out in Brentwood on Friday afternoon.

Cutting a very casual figure, the 51-year-old artist was accompanied by a friend as she took a quick walk near her affluent neighborhood.

The actress, who was recently spotted with her ex-husband Ben Affleck, wore a black button-up jacket over a T-shirt during the outing.

Garner also wore skin-tight jeans and slung a white bag over her right shoulder.

The Primetime Emmy Award-nominated artist’s gorgeous brunette hair fell to her shoulders.

The actress’ outing took place just a few weeks before the scheduled release date of her upcoming film Family Switch.

The feature film is based on the book Bedtime for Mommy by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, which was published in 2010.

The film revolves around a married couple who switch bodies with their children after meeting an astrological reader.

In addition to Garner, the film’s cast is completed with artists such as Ed Helms, Emma Myers and Rita Moreno.

The Elektra star was first attached to the project in 2021, when the film was originally titled Family Leave.

Physical production on the McG-directed feature began last February in Los Angeles.

The filmmaker recently spoke with Entertainment tonight and talked about his expectations for the upcoming film.

McG, born Joseph McGinty Nichol, stated that he hoped the film would be considered “surprising, light and more intelligent than you might think.”

The filmmaker also discussed the feature film’s dance scenes, selecting an opening sequence that focused on Garner and Helms.

He said of the scene: “It’s the epitome of when you get out of your head and into your heart. That is the message of the film.’

“My favorite way to make films is to synthesize highbrow and lowbrow, where a child can watch it and understand what’s going on, but a parent can watch it and process the material on a completely different, more advanced level.” , he added.

Family Switch is currently scheduled for release on Netflix on November 30.
