LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Garner is all set for her upcoming Netflix holiday movie 'Family Switch' which is about parents magically swapping bodies with their two teenage children.

However, the actress playfully said she does not want to revisit her past like her character in the film who is stuck in the body of her child.

"You know what? I think my kids work so hard, and they have so much pressure on them that I could never even have imagined as a teenager myself. I’ll stay right here in my old lady body, thank you very much," said Garner.

Jennifer Garner spoke about her bonding with her 'Family Switch' co-stars

Speaking about her upcoming film 'Family Switch' which will start streaming on Netflix on December 30, Garner talked about how she bonded with her co-stars.

"We didn’t disperse when somebody said, 'Cut,' " said the 51-year-old actress who is starring in the holiday film with Ed Helms.

"We all stayed and hung out and played with the babies," she added apparently referring to twins Lincoln and Theodore Sykes who play the youngest child in the film.

"I’d want to switch places with Ed’s kids," said Garner who is a mother in real life to 18-year-old Violet, 14-year-old Seraphina, and 11-year-old Samuel with ex-husband Ben Affleck.

"I want to be that little one who has a crazy look in her eyes running around in a diaper. Break out the paint and the glitter and go ham on the house," she said.

In response to Garner saying she would like to switch with Helm's children, 'The Office' actor said, "Yeah, my kids are ridiculously cute and insane."

"The first thing I would do is eat a ton of junk food because that’s what they can do," he humorously admitted, according to People.

"They’re these little furnaces. You can just put anything in there, and it churns up. So I would eat cookies, ice cream, cake, cupcakes—all of it. Pizza all day long," said Helms who keeps his personal life private.
