Jennifer Garner has accidentally sent a selfie to the wrong person, having had a 'humbling' exchange via text while trying to track down her Alias co-star Carl Lumbly.
Garner, 49, posted a screenshot of the 'hilarious' conversation on Instagram, writing: "You know the one time you take a selfie to prove to someone you're you? And get a 'wrong number' message just as it's gone out into the world? Well, it's humbling, isn't it."
She added the hashtags #IfYouAreWorkingWithCarlLumbly, #PleaseTellHimImLookingForHim and #BristowAndDixon - the latter being a nod to hers and Lumbly's characters on the show, Sydney Bristow and Marcus Dixon.

She'd begun by sending a text message that said: "Carl - this is Jen G. Here comes proof."
Before Garner's subsequent selfie came through, the person she thought was 'Carl' wrote: "Wrong number."
But it was too late, as her photo had already sent, along with three messages that read: "Hahaha.

"Well this is me!
"I'm looking for my old..."
Social media users sure enjoyed seeing the awkwardness unfurl - with many branding it 'hilarious'.
One person wrote: "This is fantastic. You're amazing."

Someone else commented: "Imagine getting this text?! I would die of happiness lol."
A third said: "That text exchange will be the only thing that person talks about till the day they die! 'Did I ever tell ya the story when Jennifer Garner texted me?' Response from 11year old 'Yes grandpa. 100 times already'."

Earlier this week, Garner marked the 20th anniversary of Alias first premiering on ABC, sharing videos from a reunion party she threw.
The star wrote: "Twenty years ago this week, tonight in fact, #Alias aired for the first time on @abcnetwork.
"If you're an idea born of @jjabramsofficial's brain - you're a big one; JJ's ambitious imagination pushed every department on the crew of Alias through and past the norm, it was so much FUN.
"Since the end of the show, April of 2005, running into a cast or crew member from Alias has always led to this question - when will you get everyone back together for a reunion? The 20th anniversary seemed like as good an excuse as any, so the call went out - reunion party is happening, pass it on!

"We missed everyone who was working and couldn't make it in. We missed you, Jabrams, (because I screwed up and made this happen on a night you were busy). But man, it felt so good to be together again."
She also took the opportunity to announce she had joined TikTok, adding: "The 20th anniversary also seemed like as good an excuse as any to join TikTok. No dot in the middle over there, but the same nonsense - jennifergarner on TikTok - I am more embarrassed for myself than you could possibly be for me, so just please - avert your gaze."
