‘Looks Like a Platypus’: ‘Granny’ Jennifer Garner, 51, Is under Attack after Going Jogging Sans Makeup

• Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner recently rocked a makeup-free face and had her hair tied back as she went for a jog.
• Some people who saw the photos of Garner criticized her for her appearance, called her a "granny," and said she "looks like a platypus."

Jennifer Garner, 51, is a highly successful actress in Hollywood, whose stardom skyrocketed when she garnered a lead role in "Alias" in 2001. Originally from Houston, Texas, born to a retired English teacher and a former chemical engineer, Garner moved to Los Angeles to pursue her career.

Some of her most notable works include "13 Going on 30," "Dude, Where's My Car," "Daredevil," "Elektra," and "Pearl Harbor." One of her most recent works includes the new mystery series "The Last Thing He Told Me," where she stars as the lead.

Garner has long been celebrated for her ability to transform herself from a sweet, down-to-earth woman deemed one of America's sweethearts to a daring and fierce character on screen.

According to her hairstylist, a part of the transformative process lies in styling her hair. The brunette beauty is well-known for her "beautiful, healthy, luxurious hair."

Besides being a talented actress, Garner is a doting mom of three. She shares daughters, Violet and Seraphina Affleck, and a son, Samuel Affleck, with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck.

Jennifer Garner Went for a Jog With No Makeup on and Was Criticized for Her Appearance

This past Saturday, the doting mom of three was seen jogging in her residential neighborhood of Brentwood. While getting in her daily cardio exercise for the day, Garner, who did not let the light rain apparent that day deter her, was also seen jogging with a friend.

The "Yes Day" actress's face was completely makeup-free, and she had her brunette locks tied back in a messy bun. She wore black athleisure gear and Nike running shoes.

Later on, after finishing her run, Garner was also spotted grabbing a cup of coffee. When people saw pictures of the star, some criticized Garner for how she looked. One Facebook user said:

"She looks like a platypus, always has."

Other people continued to take nasty digs at Garner's age and said she looked miserable. Another person harshly referred to her as:

"Old plastic granny."

Although Jennifer Garner Was Criticized, Some People Praised Her for Her Appearance

While some harshly criticized Garner for her appearance, her fans defended her. Many of the star's supporters showered her with praise and love and called her a natural beauty. They went on about how Garner exudes both class and confidence. One Facebook user gushed:

"She is so natural. You can see she has not had work done. She is beautiful & not afraid of aging so gracefully."

As more fans continued to comment positively on the pictures, some boasted about Garner's great acting talents. One fan expressed:

"My favorite famous female actress, she seems so humble, so kind, just the real deal. God bless her."

When it comes to getting older, Garner prefers to age naturally. In a past interview where she was asked about how she approaches beauty discussions with her daughters, the "Peppermint" star divulged:

"My advice is to look at the mirror less and be cautious when it comes to injecting anything into your face."

She emphasized that people should place importance on seeing how to better spend their time out in the world instead of obsessing over how they look. The actress believes that harshly critiquing oneself does more harm than good.

Garner has often been seen rocking a natural look with a makeup-free face. And although some may criticize her for it, her fans praise her and reiterate that the star still looks beautiful as she ages.
