Yeah same with Keanu Reeves. At some point they all stopped aging. Maybe their android bodies can only age till a certain degree and then just stay at that stage for ever.
I live pretty close to where he's been filming "Ozark," and am happy to say that the locals all say he's a very nice, down-to-Earth guy. I was happy to hear this, because I've always liked him.
I’ve always loved Jason Bateman, and his performance in OZARK is outstanding! To have someone who usually plays comedic roles tackle a character and the dark tone that is provided in OZARK is a breathe of fresh air, Bateman plays Marty Byrde beautifully and I highly advise everybody to watch the show :)
+SilentNova very true, Ozark is so badass. They say comedy's the hardest thing to do well, I think that's why most good comedic actors really shine when they go for dramatic roles.
I don't like Ozark. I LOVE IT! Jason there is brilliant. As is the rest of the cast young and old. And the writing, top shelf. 5 stars. A must see show.
If you look at it super broadly, it is both middle aged men getting involved somehow in the drug trade due to money issues. But the character is no Walter White, he's not going down the villain route and communicating more with his family. They're very different characters.
I often forget how old Jason Bateman is, all while remembering how long he's been in the industry - he's aged so beautifully! And he's funnier and better in every role!
+Bassist1996 Bad Words is not underrated. Most people who saw it rated it very highly. It's simply a lesser known movie. An underrated movie is a movie which is criticised by audiences and forgotten about but is actually good.
He's just like Michael in Arrested Development, I LOVE IT. The dry wit. Considering how most child stars end up, he's done incredibly well. I love The Gift and Horrible Bosses.
@Renji Ripon lmao just like only Scientologists like Tom Cruise, right? And people can't change either, can they? Nor attone? Every single person is the same exact as they were when they were a kid. It must be sad to have such a narrow minded, cold hearted, black and white view of the world.
He had me doubting myself: I actually went to IMDB to verify that Teen Wolf Too has no academy awards. (It actually has no awards period). His genius is it is never quite absolutely clear when he is cracking a joke. LOL
I feel bad not many people watch arrested development anymore. Michael Bluth is my favorite character because he's like the only one in the family who tries to be responsible.
Jason Bateman is awesome! Magnificent actor/thespian and super cool guy! Love his sarcastic, "Jeff Goldblum" type of acting and timing! I admire and love how his acting career(television/major motion pictures/movies)has endured through the 1980s/1990s/2000s/present! Respect and Salute.
I feel like he didn’t think too highly of Hancock when he was speaking about it, but I honestly adored that movie when it came out. It was so surprisingly full of heart and down to earth characters and character building. I loved him in that movie as Will Smith’s opposite trying to help him better himself. Great Film
I just love him as an actor because it's easy to know who he is in every film and I love how he makes almost any scene funny, yet serious enough to not be SNL-ish at the same time!
Love Jason Bateman. He’s a showbiz veteran, never been involved (to my knowledge) in any seedy scandals, & he’s really underrated as an actor. He reminds me of Morgan Freeman & Tom Hanks in that his decency always shines through, no matter what the character is like. I’ve always gotten the feeling that Bateman is the voice of reason in a room full of flakes. Horrible Bosses, Bad Words, Juno - a few of my favorite comedies! And if you haven’t, check out “Extract” - pretty good, too.
Definitely one of my top 5 favorite "everyman" actors I can relate to, with or without the humor. For me, Ozark is his shining star. Can't wait for season 3 next summer (2019).
I have literally watched Jason my whole life and to watch him grow as an actor in all his different parts is amazing - love him in couple's retreat and sadly a roll that gets looked over is his role in Smokin Ace's , one of my favorites . The only thing that could have made it better is if his part was bigger . Which Joel Edgerton was in also . Love them both !
Jason Bateman Shows & Movies 1. Nick Wilde - Zootopia+ 2016 - 2020 2. Jason Bateman, Max Davis - The Simpsons 2005 - 2020 3. Tommy Turner - The Fairly Oddparents 2005 4. Agent Zoil - Paul 2011 5. Jason Bateman - Awards Ceremony - Tropic Thunder 2008
I agree with Jason. Horrible Bosses 2 was waaayyyyyyy better than the first. I love HB1, but 2 was just pure comedy and I loved every second of it start to finish
"Todd howard was a character that presented not alot of creative challenge for except for getting in and out of the prostetic make up witch took a few hours." Yeah i loved him in the bethesda biopic.
- So, how was that new pool cleaner? - What do you mean? - What do you think I mean? Did he do a good job cleaning the pool? - Well, I... - Did he get all the leaves? 'Cause it doesn't look really clean.
I love that he talks about the Academy Awards for film Teen Wolf Too.😂. He has made the same joke in other videos. His dry sense of humor and delivery are great!
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
He's like that English teacher you never want to see upset and is hilarious without doing anything.
@@hibbidyjibbidyy she was in arrested development wasn't she?
great example
I love that Jason still speaks as if he's Michael on Arrested Development. His pacing and comedic timing is so perfect and similar to Michaels.
I love Bateman. He seems like he’s unimpressed with his own career. 😂
"I don't know the name of that character I played....*yawn*"
With all the problems he has ( Marty ) , he can never be happy! Never seen him happy!
@@NZWarriors1995 right?? In one, he didn’t even remember the name of the animated movie - then he said “go check that one out.” 😂
Thought this said Batman
He literally just plays as himself in most movies he just has to do different things
This man doesn't age, he looked 35 in his twenties and looks 35 at 50.
Same with Rob Lowe
The clock basically stopped for him on the Teen Wolf Too set.
ShreadTheWeapon probably the chemical burns
Yeah same with Keanu Reeves. At some point they all stopped aging. Maybe their android bodies can only age till a certain degree and then just stay at that stage for ever.
Jared Leto looks 20 even though he's 50
He looks the exact same as he did in Arrested Development back in '04
It's like he doesn't age
A lil more wrinkles.
Clean living I believe.
@Shawn Kemp bruh
You mean ‘03.
I live pretty close to where he's been filming "Ozark," and am happy to say that the locals all say he's a very nice, down-to-Earth guy. I was happy to hear this, because I've always liked him.
"You cry a lot on the Prairie. "
I've been to Saskatchewan... can confim. :/
I can't read that without thinking of Nick in Zootopia
Thank you! That was my favorite part.
So funny and witty
Because Micheal Landon was drunk and mean😢
Definitely dont have to pretend to be interested in Jason Bateman- he's super dope
Barnabas WannaBe he’s actually quite intelligent. Very opposite of a dope.
I love him in ozark
@@SonnyGTA Aye aye aye, that’s very disappointing of you to say

Brian Cranston did it better

he also directed
I was expecting Jason to talk about his character in Game Night, because I laughed so hard throughout the entire movie and the acting was great :D
Absolutely! Great movie. Jesse Plemons was amazing. Watching Jason & Rachel play off of him was comedic gold
Sataru Animations omg that movie is epic af
Paul Lindquist Isn't he an excellent actor?!
no then there wouldn't be time to plug their latest thing...which is the only reason these actors agree to do these videos in the first place
That was a very funny movie
I often forget how old Jason Bateman is, all while remembering how long he's been in the industry - he's aged so beautifully! And he's funnier and better in every role!
Incredible actor (and director) who doesn't get enough credit. Instantly relatable and compelling, whether in comedy or drama. Thanks GQ and Jason.
Obsessed with Ozark!
Best show I've watched in a long time. Bad thing is I watched both seasons within days. I need more Marty Bird
Andrei Agulescu me too
I binged watched both seasons over a weekend I’m waiting for season 3
Wish they talked about Bad Words. Super Underrated movie
Bassist1996 i love ittt
Check out the vanity fair one posted few days ago. He talks about it there
I love that movie !
Instead they keep bringing up Dodgeball, in which JB claims to have worked only 2 hrs on the set. That's worth mentioning?
+Bassist1996

I really like Jason Bateman. He's the anti-Mark Wahlberg
The NORTH why is he the anti mark
AngryPuppy actually he does not he’s been in hits u just don’t like him
Nah he sucks. The directors may be great, but Wahlberg sucks.
@@marshandomness nah, he's good.

I feel bad not many people watch arrested development anymore. Michael Bluth is my favorite character because he's like the only one in the family who tries to be responsible.
Can we get one of these with Danny DeVito? 😇
Yes
It’d be GQs first 5 hour long iconic breakdown
Yes and jack nicholson
be interesting to hear a few Always Sunny in Philly stories
While we can
Jason Bateman is awesome!
Magnificent actor/thespian and super cool guy!
Love his sarcastic, "Jeff Goldblum" type of acting and timing!
I admire and love how his acting career(television/major motion pictures/movies)has endured through the 1980s/1990s/2000s/present!
Respect and Salute.
And what happened Zootopia??? And His foxy version???? Furry Jason Biteman arrrr 🦊🦊
I watched the Vanity Fair vid yesterday then I watched this today..... I think i'm in love with Jason Bateman.

It was so surprisingly full of heart and down to earth characters and character building. I loved him in that movie as Will Smith’s opposite trying to help him better himself. Great Film
He such an underrated Actor i love him he has a special comedic vibe to him
This episode was way too short. Everything he does is GOLD... Bad Words is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I love Jason Bateman in everything he is in. I will watch absolutely anything starring him. Keep these coming, GQ!
Michael: there's been alot of lying in this family.
Lucille: and alot of love
Michael: more lying
dodgers doon1130 Lucille mistook the sleepy eye for a winky eye.
“You cry a lot on the prairie “. I love him !
That cracked me up too!
😂
We need a Steve Carell and maybe a Will Ferrell breakdown vid. Those would be interesting
Absolutely a Steve Carell
They missed my favorite movie of his called “Game Night”
solid little comedy.
Decent
and Bad Words
I loved him as the bully in "Central Intelligence" 😂🤣😂😹
yes i almost forgot it was him xD
"I did this movie and it was easy but I don't remember it"
he’s decades older than me why am I so attracted to him ??
Kristina S daddy issues?
Because attraction is not about numbers
Because you have good taste, did I mention Jason and I look similar lol
victoria hale hmmm maybe
Henchman67 did I mention that I’m a minor?
I just love him as an actor because it's easy to know who he is in every film and I love how he makes almost any scene funny, yet serious enough to not be SNL-ish at the same time!
I love Ozark and I adore Jason Bateman - I love how down to earth he is and can take the Mickey out is himself. He’s a Hollywood treasure!
I've LOVED Jason Bateman since the 80's!!!! huge fan!!
*I sure do like pumpkins Cotton!*
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball 🔧
pepper needs new shorts!
i feel shocked
effin a, cotton. effin a!
GQ...keep these iconic roles videos coming! They’re so good. Want to see one for every actor 😁!

No idea why or how but he became my favorite actor watching him on Ozark and arrested development all the time
I wish they would've talked about change up
This guy will forever launder money for cartels in my mind. I know he's done so many great movies but his performance in Ozark is amazing.
Bad Words was my favorite Jason Bateman movie
“Bold strategy Cotten” is quoted so much within my family.
@@marklewandowski8474 nope! it's "bold Strategy"
Laur Mauer aw, fun family!
I love "The Switch". The chemistry between him and the kid is amazing.
I agree! But the chemistry between him and Jennifer is unbelievable. They look so good togehter in movies.
Ozark is one of the best series ever!😊❤️👍🏼
Yeah I really like Ozark. We're on episode 6 of season 2.
It’s really good but it’s not in that discussion yet imo. I’m hoping next season comes in with a BANG
Definitely one of my top 5 favorite "everyman" actors I can relate to, with or without the humor. For me, Ozark is his shining star. Can't wait for season 3 next summer (2019).
The second he said "What do you think of me?" in Juno, I was convinced he was a creep.
I have literally watched Jason my whole life and to watch him grow as an actor in all his different parts is amazing - love him in couple's retreat and sadly a roll that gets looked over is his role in Smokin Ace's , one of my favorites . The only thing that could have made it better is if his part was bigger . Which Joel Edgerton was in also . Love them both !
Couples Retreat was such a disaster of a movie
It was very low profile, but I really liked Extract, with Mila Kunis and Kristen Wiig.
Awesome movie with a great cast. Ben Affleck character is brilliant
@@jonnyquest7099 I just saw it again! It was a riot!!
Bateman is incredible in Ozark. One of the best shows out there.
He seems like such a chill guy. I really liked ozark, good show
Love him in everything he does. great actor.
The Gift is UNDERRATED.
That movie sticks under my skin because I was not expecting him to be so creepy at the end. I can’t rewatch!
💯
I loved his character in dodgeball 😂💯
You missed Silver Spoons! Derek was such a little a-hole; I loved it.
6:42 That's such a dad thing to say. Yes, there are people over 16 watching this, don't worry Jason
Jason Bateman is one of the few actors, I actively look for movies he is in.
Pepper Brooks is my favorite comedy movie character ever. I quote him all the time
So happy to be introduced to this eye candy on Juno! He's been one of my fave actors ever since!
So many reasons to love Jason Bateman
Bateman is so humble, particularly about his role in Dodgeball. "That's a bold strategy, Cotton" has become part of everyday lexicon!
Jason Bateman: '80s SUPER ICON!!!
It’s criminal that the Change Up wasn’t in this What a great movie and well done acting on both sides
Jason Bateman and David Garrison (Married with Children) were absolutely hilarious in "It's your move".
THAT'S THE ONE I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF!!!!! BLESS YOU! "You're gonna laugh...." and The Dregs of Humanity....those are my main memories of that show
I’m old (around his age) so I remember even the Hogan Family. He was so hilarious
More recently he was his usual excellent self in the movie "Game night". Full of twists & turns and very funny.
“Yeah he will not be able to see very Cotton.” 😂😂
At least this one had Dodgeball. Arthur and the Invisibles (Minimoys) is the other animated movie he did, if anyone wondered.
It is so under-appreciated just how hilarious Jason Bateman is...even just as a person rather than as an actor.
I feel like Jason would be a great addition to the MCU. I don't know who he would play, but I feel like his personality would just fit in so well.
He could have been Hawkeye
Pre Ozark, I think he'd have made a great Mr. Fantastic
Jason Bateman
Shows & Movies

4. Agent Zoil - Paul 2011

I want Jason Bateman to become Jason Batman.
I agree with Jason. Horrible Bosses 2 was waaayyyyyyy better than the first. I love HB1, but 2 was just pure comedy and I loved every second of it start to finish
I love ❤️ him as Nick Wilde. Sometimes when I watch the movie, Nick kind of looks like him.
I have loved Jason in films since I saw him at the cinema in teen wolf 2. And it is so good to see he is a nice bloke in real life too.
Omg I love The Switch!!! I came across it randomly on Netflix one night and it was so funny
“Hancock, I don’t remember the name of the character that I played” 😂 Love Bateman. Seems hilarious in real life too
"Todd howard was a character that presented not alot of creative challenge for except for getting in and out of the prostetic make up witch took a few hours."
Yeah i loved him in the bethesda biopic.
“This is where I Leave You” is one of his best dry humor movies.
I had a crush on Jason since Silver Spoons!
I can’t see this man in anything other than Ozark, his acting is insanely incredible in that and im so addicted to the show lmao
5:22 I want to see a Gary Cole edition of this retrospective series
Jason!! You're so good in The Outsider and The Ozarks!! I love it when you're directing and in drama roles!
Okay.., @3:41 is what everyone is here for.
I could listen to him talk all day
He stopped aging when he started Arrested Development.
@10:14 the animated movie he’s talking about is Arthur and the invisibles he played Darko
I've actually never heard an actor forget who he was in a movie, it made me laugh! I guess that's what happens when you do so many..
I love that he is very similar in each roll, I love him in Ozark because it’s more realistic then most shows that are over dramatic
I think most people like the first Horrible Bosses more than the second one.
He doesn’t even have to be playing an on screen role he’s amazing just as himself . Love him 🙌🏼 amazing amazing actor !!
Teen Wolf Too reminds me of another film I've watched before.
Pepper Brooks will forever be his greatest role “ouchtown population you bro” 😂😂
Would have love to hear his commentary on doing Extract.
- So, how was that new pool cleaner?
- What do you mean?
- What do you think I mean? Did he do a good job cleaning the pool?
- Well, I...
- Did he get all the leaves? 'Cause it doesn't look really clean.
Teen wolf too was my all time favorite, he made my heart stop, I was madly in love and still am. He's a beautiful man, so talented 🥰
Underrated actor
Wish he had mentioned The Change Up. Loved that one!
Nick Wilde 🦊 and Deadpool together hahaha Boom Boom
I'm really, really confused. Why did they not talk about Extract?!? That's by far the best thing they've been in. Anything Mike Judge does is golden.
I love that he talks about the Academy Awards for film Teen Wolf Too.😂. He has made the same joke in other videos. His dry sense of humor and delivery are great!
