Jennifer Garner reveals Matthew McConaughey convinced her not to quit Dallas Buyers Club

Matthew McConaughey talked Jennifer Garner out of quitting 'Dallas Buyers Club'.

The 48-year-old actress was ready to leave the movie because "there was never a 10-minute break" to pump her breast milk and she was missing her kids, but her co-star called for a break in filming, and convinced her to stay.

Garner - who had welcomed her son Samuel, who is now eight, into the world shortly before she accepted the role - said: "My boobs were freaking out.

"It was bedtime, and we were doing some scene that was supposed to be light, and I started crying and I was like, 'I have to quit. I have to go home and be with my kids. I just can’t do this anymore.'

"And sweet Matthew McConaughey pulled me aside and said, 'What is going on with you?' "

After that moment, Garner - who played Dr. Eve Saks in the motion picture - would give McConaughey a sign and then take breaks to pump.

Speaking on 'Tell Me More with Kelly Corrigan', she said: "And from then on, whenever I needed to, I would give him a high sign and I would go take care of it.

"He said, 'You can do both. You’ve got it. You can do it.'

"How much do I love that guy? I know, a lot."
