Jennifer Garner hilariously recreated a steamy scene from her hit show “Alias” 17 years later, with a few adjustments.
To celebrate reaching 10 million followers on Instagram, the 48-year-old actress and mom of three posted a side-by-side video that she wrote in the caption she “promised” her manager and her publicist she’d “never post.”
“At some point in 2021, Ladies, I will try to look cute just for you,” Garner added.
In the video, the actress channeled her "Alias" character, Sydney Bristow, and recreated a scene from season two, episode 14 (titled "Double Agent") of the hit ABC spy show. The sequence from the 2003 episode showed Sydney emerging from a pool in a bikini, slipping on blue heels, drying off with a towel, and unhooking her top.
The scene itself was a nod to "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," in which the character Linda Barrett (Phoebe Cates) had a similar slow-motion pool scene.
In Garner's updated version of the scene, the actress wore a black wet suit as stepped out of the pool in a pair of goggles. Instead of putting on heels, she opted for a pair of cozy Uggs slippers.

Garner's friends and followers loved her recreation and called it "the best."
"Grey's Anatomy" star Jessica Capshaw commented: "I. Love. You. THE MOST in a wetsuit and shearling-lined footwear...GG...genius and gorgeous."
"Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts gushed over Garner, saying: "Just when I think I couldn't possibly adore you any more than I already do! Bless you for always making all of us smile. You are a gem, Jen."
"Thor" actress Kat Dennings said the video was "the best thing I've ever seen" and "Alias" alum Gina Torres called it "the best."
Garner rose to fame in the early 2000s thanks to her role as a double agent on "Alias," which lasted for five seasons between 2001 and 2006.
