The 40-year-old, who gave birth to her third child, son Samuel, in February, said that she adores her job as a parent but she has started to crave more fast-paced projects and is eager to get her adrenaline pumping again, reported Contactmusic.
Garner made her name in the crime-fighting TV series 'Alias' and went on to star in superhero film "Daredevil" and its spin-off "Elektra".
But since becoming a mother in 2005, Garner has opted for more dramas and romantic comedies like "Juno" and "Valentine's Day".
"I don't mind being a soccer mum. I am most certainly a go-and-sit-on-the-sideline mum. I love it. But I do miss the action. I would love to do some action again and shock myself a little," Garner said.
"I just visited my husband's set in Puerto Rico, and most of the crew knew me when I was doing action, and they were saying, 'Hey Jen, remember that fight scene?' It felt as if I was a different person than the one they were talking about. I do miss that part of my life a little," she added.
