In a delightful throwback video shared by Jennifer Garner on her Instagram, the talented actress is seen reminiscing about the humorous side of Taylor Swift. The video features a scene from the 2010 film 'Valentine's Day,' in which Garner and Swift appeared together.
In the video, Garner is portrayed as texting in an elevator when the doors suddenly open to reveal Swift holding a large white teddy bear with a heart that reads 'I love you.' Garner's surprised reaction of 'Oh boy, oh boy' sets the lighthearted tone. The actresses share a warm greeting, and Swift begins by describing a sweet gesture from her boyfriend, as Garner points to the bear in response.
The conversation then takes an amusing turn as Swift asks Garner if she lives in the same building, mentioning that she often sees Garner in the lobby. Garner humorously deadpans, 'No, I just visit.' Meanwhile, the camera pans to the giant bear as Swift jokes about taking it along to school.
The video holds sentimental value for Swift, who captioned it with a heartfelt message, 'Happy Anniversary to this sweet movie, Valentine's Day. We miss you, Garry [Marshall].' Swift also suggested that she would love to see the singer return to the screen, acknowledging her comedic talent.
'Valentine's Day' marked one of Swift's earliest ventures into the world of movies, following the release of her album 'Speak Now' in 2010. She went on to appear in various films and TV shows, including 'The Giver,' 'New Girl,' and 'Cats.'
Directed by the late Garry Marshall, the film boasted an impressive ensemble cast, featuring Swift's then-boyfriend Taylor Lautner, as well as Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Alba, Bradley Cooper, and many more. The plot revolved around different couples spending Valentine's Day together.
Swift shared the story of how she landed the role in an interview, revealing that she received a call from Marshall himself, expressing his desire to have her in the movie. She couldn't believe it when he offered to write a part specifically for her, despite her limited availability. Swift was elated by the opportunity and described it as mind-blowing.
The endearing video shared by Garner not only showcases the amusing side of Swift, but it also serves as a reminder of the special connection and memories formed on the set of 'Valentine's Day.' As fans, we can only hope that Taylor Swift will grace our screens with her talent and humor once again.
