Jennifer Garner used to streak; also hired goats for an ivy problem

Oh yes they call her the Streak! Jennifer Garner has revealed that she used to let loose by actually letting loose.

The “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” actress revealed to Conan O’Brien that during her college years with the Barn Theatre School -- a traveling production company -- she often went streaking.

“I didn’t drink, I was never a big party girl, but I, um, I streaked,” the 42-year-old Golden Globe winner said. “I don’t know why ... I just was in a naked frame of mind! I don’t think I was the only streaker, but I might have been the leader of the streakers and we just all streaked, all summer.”

Garner, thoroughly embarrassed, said it would happen late at night after shows. O’Brien and sidekick Andy Richter pounced on her to make jokes, so Garner didn’t do too much elaborating after that.

However, the “Alias” alum has been upping her adorable factor with her talk show appearances as she promotes her films “Men, Women & Children” and “Alexander ... and the Most Cumbersome Title Ever.” This time, the actress explained how she runs her household by bringing a bit of her West Virginia “country” upbringing to her home in Los Angeles, where she lives with Ben Affleck and their three kids.

Garner and Affleck’s property includes some lush acreage where they can grow lemons, oranges and peanuts, but it was overtaken by rat-infested ivy. She told her husband she’d take care of it while he was off filming “Batman v. Superman” in Michigan.

And she did it with an unconventional, self-described “genius wife maneuver.”

“I said just go, I’ll take care of it, don’t worry I’ve got it. I’ve found an inexpensive way to take care of the ivy,” she said, showing a photo of her solution, which happened to include the hiring of 120 goats.

“That’s my house! I rented a herd of goats [to eat the ivy],” she exclaimed. “And I sent that picture to Ben on location -- it was his first day on the ‘Batman’ set -- and I said, ‘Honey, I’m taking care of the ivy!’”

Garner said there were so many goats on the property that she rounded up a bunch of kids and had a party to help herd them from the driveway to the ivy. They called it the “Running of the Goats.”

While it may be an eco-friendly solution, Garner noted that goat noises might be something to worry about. That and the fact that ivy grows back.
