JENNIFER GARNER - GARNER DEEMED ELEKTRA AWFUL, SAYS EX-BOYFRIEND VARTAN

Sexy actress JENNIFER GARNER has declared her latest movie ELEKTRA "awful" - according to her ex-boyfriend MICHAEL VARTAN.

US WEEKLY reports that Vartan, who briefly dated his ALIAS costar in 2003, still maintains a friendship with Garner, who reportedly told him her DAREDEVIL spin-off wasn't her proudest piece of work.

In an interview with the publication, Vartan is quoted as saying, "I heard (Elektra) was awful. (Jennifer) called me and told me it was awful.

"She had to do it because of Daredevil. It was in her contract."

Vartan, who claims in the interview he only dated Garner for a month and a half, also insists he has no problem with seeing pictures of his ex-girlfriend with BEN AFFLECK on the magazine covers - even though he still loves her "to death".

He adds, "Why would it be weird? I don't know Ben. I don't know how happy they are."
