Jennifer Garner has officially jumped on the bandwagon, taking on the viral Spider-Man trend. The Spider-Man fever, which kicked off earlier this year with anticipation surrounding the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is not showing any signs of slowing down. From the viral Miles Morales ceiling trend to fan-created Spider-Man poses, the internet has been having plenty of fun with the web-slinger.

And it seems one of those viral videos caught the attention of the Juno actress, too. As she decided to join in, the actress quickly discovered that the trends are not as easy as they appear.

Jennifer Garner knows how to land like Spider-Man

Jennifer Garner recently shared a video on Instagram in which she attempts to recreate a cool Spider-Man pose. She even took some inspiration from the trend created by  stuntwoman Silke Sollfrank. Now, after taking a moment to study the pose, Garner took a few deep breaths to attempt it.

She tried to place both feet and one hand against the wall while balancing with her other hand on the floor, almost like a headstand. She spent a few seconds struggling to get into position. She eventually perfected the pose and confidently posed for the camera.

However, her facial expression shows the effort that she put into the video. It seems even celebrities could not resist joining in on the viral Spider-Man trends that have taken the internet by storm over the past few months. While she perfectly attempted the Spider-Man pose, the actress is better known for playing the role of Spy, Sydney Bristow, in the action-thriller television series Alias, as well as her role as Jenna Rink in 13 Going on 30.

Speaking about the actress during a staged reading presented by the Center at West Park, Hamilton praised Garner, saying she is every bit as amazing as people claim. 

“She is as wonderful as she seems. She’s more wonderful in every way. She really is one of the most incredible people that I’ve ever known,” he told People.

He explained that, due to hectic schedules, actors do not always get the chance to truly get to know their co-stars. However, Hamilton said he was glad he had the opportunity to get to know Garner. The two previously worked together on the Apple TV+ thriller series The Last Thing He Told Me. Now, as for Garner, she has played plenty of action roles on screen, and perhaps this latest Spider-Man stunt can also be added to her resume.
