Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Had Violet Affleck Baptised

December 28th 2006 02:27 am

For a couple as low-key as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, it was fitting that their daughter’s baptism was a down-home affair.

Little Violet Affleck, who turned 1 on Dec. 1, was baptized on Christmas Eve at Christ Church United Methodist in Charleston, W. Va., where her mother grew up.

Garner’s parents, sister and brother-in-law are members of the church, where Violet’s cousin Alex was baptized the same day, the Associated Press reports.

Awwwwwww how sweet. I wonder whether little Violet Affleck wailed when her head got dunk into the basin.

If congregants were star-struck by the movie stars in their midst, they didn’t show it, Pastor Randy Flanagan told the AP.

Affleck, 34, a Golden Globe nominee for Hollywoodland, said earlier this month that he’s a hands-on dad: “Yes, I’ve changed diapers,” he said at a New York City screening of Hollywoodland. “Parenthood, the whole thing is wonderful. All the clichés that all the people bore you with are, in fact, true.”

Glad you like fatherhood, Ben Affleck. Please, just don’t let it be an excuse to get fat.
