Jennifer Garner First Met George Clooney When She Had Head Lice!

Jennifer Garner has revealed the real reason why she and hubby Ben Affleck weren't at George Clooney's wedding this weekend.

The actress stopped by the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to explain that the first time she met Clooney, she wasn't looking (or smelling) her best.

Explaining to the chat show host that she once showed up at a party with Ben with head lice treatment still in her hair, she revealed: "We show up and the first person I see is George Clooney, and I'd never met George Clooney. I was kind of like, 'Ah, he's so handsome! Like, oh, my God!'"

"So, I see him and I walk up to him and I'm chatting with him, just trying to act like it's cool...and I can see that he smells me, you know? But he's trying to be polite," she added.

"So, anyway, people keep asking why we weren't at George's wedding and we were both 'working' but I think he didn't want Licey there," Garner joked. "He's like, 'No, we don't need the Afflecks. We're OK!'"

Jen's new film Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is out in the UK on October 10.
