Jennifer Garner Loses it on Camera After Attempting This Olympics TikTok Trend

With the Olympics in full swing and everyone's eyes glued to the screen, it's no wonder those of us at home have been wanting to join in on all of the fun. Recently, a silly TikTok trend has been floating around the internet, where amateur and intermediate athletes share videos of their sports fails with captions on the videos proclaiming, "Sad to announce I didn't make the cut for Paris 2024," set to the Olympic Theme.

The videos online have featured everything from athletes attempting complex routines on the uneven gymnastics bars only to ricochet off one bar into the mat below to divers gearing up for their jump only to land flat on their backs or stomaches, smacking into the water. But one video, I wasn't expecting to see was PureWow fave Jennifer Garner hopping on the trend with her earnest effort at a box jump.

The 52-year old actress posted a video on her Instagram where she gears up for an approximate 33" box jump at her house. In the background, viewers can hear "Heartless," by Kanye West playing on the speakers. As she psychs herself up for the jump, swings her arms and leaps up, Garner lands on her knees instead of her feet. When she realizes what's happened, she falls into a fit of laughter, points at the layered mats that make up the "box" and cries out, "That's very tall!!"

Her relatability and silliness had the comments section going wild. One user said, "Okay but you’re Elektra. And Jenna Rink. And Sydney Bristol. You already win," while another said, "You are literally the realest celebrity that’s ever existed and I want to be like you when I grow up."

Garner captioned the video, "Maybe next time." Good effort Jen. We'll be rooting for you in 2028.
