She said executive producer Josh Singer even had to take her aside and request that she button up her excitement on set.
“Josh kept coming and sneaking over and kind of whispering in my ear, ‘You are Hannah. Stop smiling at him. You look like Jennifer. I’ve never seen you break character more than the way you are with Victor,'” she recalled. “I was just grinning ear to ear. I was so happy he was there.”
Garner toldEWthat she and the rest of the limited series’ team were determined to bring Garber into the project. “It was definitely premeditated,” she explained. “I mean, Victor is still very much like my dad, I talk to him every Sunday. And I don’t think you could convince him that he’s not my actual father if you tried.”

Garber shares the sentiment. “She’s very maternal towards me, andI’m very paternal towards her,” he previously toldUs Weeklyof Garner. “We have kind of an unbreakable bond, and I just feel so grateful for that ‘cause I love her very much.”
Last year, Garner shared another sweet photo of her and Garber on Instagram, capturing the pair leaning into each other with big smiles as they sat close together on a couch. “I spoke to@therealvictorgarbertoday and it made me miss him. I love you, SpyDaddy ♥️#FBF” she wrote in thepost’s caption.
The two enjoy such a special bond that Garner invited Garber to officiate herwedding to ex-husband Ben Affleckin 2005. He also supported her in the wake of her 2015 split from theAirstar, 51.
“She’s dealing with a lot of stress and pain, and dealing with it in, I think, a magnificent way,” GarbertoldETat the time. “I’ve always found her to be incredibly authentic. It’s part of why people, I think, are drawn to her, because she is real. She also has a great capacity for love. And so, all that said, she’s dealing with the situation, I think, miraculously.”
