“People get angry at me because they think that I’m just trying not to sign an autograph for them or take a picture,” she said on Wednesday's Conan. “They’ll be like, ‘Oh God, I’m such a big fan. I loved you in Alias.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, it’s not me.’ And they’re like, ‘Oh no, please, I know you’re busy with your family but please!’”

Some would get so bothered to the point of dropping curse words!  "They actually said, ‘Don’t be a b**ch.’ And I didn’t want to give her a bad name, so I took a photo with them and maybe someone will say someday, ‘That’s not Jennifer Garner,’” she recalled.

“I told Jennifer and she said, ‘Oh my God, I get that all the time too!’ I said, ‘As Jennifer Garner?’” Swank asked. “And she said, ‘No, as you!’”  Perhaps these two could do a doppleganger version of Punk’d in the near future, given that this happens to them quite often!
