ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Jennifer, how was the idea for the filmYes Dayborn?
Were your children fans of the book?JENNIFER GARNER:Yes!
All of this started because I’ve done yes days with my kids since my middle daughter was young.
She loved that book so much!
It was before the trend really caught on.
We started the tradition about eight or nine years ago and we’ve been doing them ever since.
I just love the way Allison came together.
She was this adventurer who was up for any challenge in the world and then she had kids.
That’s a tradition you’ll also see in the film.
Edgar, you are not an actor known for doing comedy.
What attracted you to this project?EDGAR RAMIREZ:That’s exactly why I took on this role.
It might benefit your relationship at home and at work, and most importantly with yourself.
Jennifer, you’ve worked with some of the hottest leading men.
What was it like collaborating with Edgar?GARNER:First of all, he’s so handsome!
I know that that is really reductive and he’s so much more than that.
He’s such a great actor and he’s kind, generous, and loving.
But he’s so handsome that it stops you in your tracks!
He was game for anything and we had so much fun together.
I also have two older sisters.
Wow, we had so much fun.
Was that intentional?GARNER:[Laughs] When I’m throwing bananas, that’s Elektra.
There’s definitely some Sydney Bristow when I was telling them to let me climb on some wires.
I was like, ‘Yeah?
You want a backflip?
Ok, you got it.’
She pushed me and led me to the harness!
Of course, I wanted to add some of that fun stuff in there.
And with 13 Going on 30, we used the same costume designer [Susie DeSanto].
Susie and I were definitely feeling some Jenna Rink vibes.
We really had so much fun.
Interviews were edited for length and clarity.
