In a clip, as Jennifer, 51, walked up to the podium to give a speech, the Hollywood actor did the zombie dance as seen in Michael Jackson’s music video for Thriller – with Jennifer briefly dancing with him.

When it was time to take pictures of the two, they got into their old characters once again.

However, the dance was also featured in the iconic romantic comedy movie 13 Going on 30 – where a 13-year-old girl had her wish come true and woke up as a 30-year-old woman.

In this specific scene, Jennifer’s character, Jenna Rink, got her boring work party going as she requested the DJ to play Thriller and recited the dance solo.

When she spotted Mark’s character, Matt, in the audience, she begged him to dance with her and eventually got the entire party dancing as well.

As well as their comedy film, they also starred in the 2022 Action/Sci-Fi movie, The Adam Project, alongside Ryan Reynolds, 47, and Zoe Saldana, 45.

He has three children with his wife, Sunrise Coigney: Keen, Bella Noche, and Odette.

Before coming to the silver screen, Mark spent a year working in the theater — writing, directing, and acting.

During his acting career, the actor has been nominated for an Emmy, Grammy, Tony, and Oscar for his work alongside plenty of A-list actors and actresses.

HIS MOVIE CAREER

Mark’s first breakout performance was in You Can Count On Me, where he won several awards.

The dad of three also went on to star in the indie cult classic The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

He also went on to star in the thriller Zodiac, alongside A-listers Jake Gyllenhaal, 43, and Robert Downey Jr, 58.

Mark, who has attended Catholic schools as a young kid, also starred in Spotlight, a movie about the true story of the Catholic Church’s sex scandal.

Mark is most notably known for his role as the Incredible Hulk, as he portrayed the character since 2012.

The movie star has appeared in seven total Marvel films, starring in five of them and making cameos in the last two.

The iconic superhero movies garnered Mark critical acclaim as well as fan popularity.

MORE ABOUT JEN

Jennifer Garner was born on April 17, 1972 in Houston, Texas.

She has three kids with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, 51: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 11.

The actress is most notable for her roles in films like Family Switch, Daredevil, Dallas Buyers Club, Juno, Miracle from Heaven, Peppermint, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Butter, and Elecktra.

HER RELATIONSHIP WITH BEN

Ben and Jennifer met in 2000 on the set of Pearl Harbor.

The two reunited on screen in the superhero movie Daredevil in 2002 – while Ben had embarked on a new relationship with Jennifer Lopez, 54, and Jen was married to Scott Foley, 51.

But it seems the pair kept in touch, because nine months after his high-profile break up with JLo, Affleck and Garner were spotted out and about together.

After a year of dating, Affleck proposed during Jen’s 33rd birthday party – with yet another pricy diamond. This time, it was a 4.5 carat Harry Winston ring.

They married in 2005 in a private ceremony in Turks and Caicos.

Ten years later in 2015, the pair released a joint statement announcing that they were ending their decade-long marriage.

Ben later told The New York Times that his alcoholism contributed to the split.

He said: “I drank relatively normally for a long time. What happened was that I started drinking more and more when my marriage was falling apart.

“This was 2015, 2016. My drinking, of course, created more marital problems.”
