Before she played Sydney Bristow/Anna Espinosa in Alias, the prim and proper Jennifer Garner was just like you: a streaking college student. She admits that she was never quite the party girl, but running around campus stark naked was her thing. At the time, "I just was in a naked frame of mind! I don't think I was the only streaker, but I think I might have been the leader of the streakers and we just streaked, all summer."

Though Garner dropped the streaking, she continued the leading, as she shepherded 120 goats from her driveway to a patch of ivy at the Garner-Affleck compound. What. As the actress explains, she and Ben had some rat-infested ivy in their backyard, and since the Gone Girl star was on location filming Batman, Jennifer got rid of it with some farm animals. Just call her the goat whisperer.
