I love Bateman. He seems like he’s unimpressed with his own career. 😂

He's like that English teacher you never want to see upset and is hilarious without doing anything.

This man doesn't age, he looked 35 in his twenties and looks 35 at 50.

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.

He looks the exact same as he did in Arrested Development back in '04

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 :)

Can we get one of these with Danny DeVito? 😇

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!

Obsessed with Ozark!

Wish they talked about Bad Words. Super Underrated movie

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

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 really like Jason Bateman. He's the anti-Mark Wahlberg

Incredible actor (and director) who doesn't get enough credit. Instantly relatable and compelling, whether in comedy or drama. Thanks GQ and Jason.

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.

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.
