Jason Bateman unveiled his career plans.
Ozark’s famed Jason Bateman said that he planned to open a coffee shop. The 57-year-old Primetime Emmy Award winner enjoyed big success during his 20s as he featured in big movies, namely Juno, Hancock and Up in the Air.
Amid all the success, Jason felt that there was no steadiness in his career and was convinced of quitting Hollywood in his early age. He even had an alternate plan for his career after leaving acting.
The Black Rabbit star revealed that he would have owned a little coffee shop in Western Europe and would have been friends with the locals there.
He further stated in the interview with The Hollywood Reporter, “I would’ve bought a little coffee shop in some small town in Western Europe, learned the language and made local villager friends”.
Bateman confessed that he would have enjoyed wearing an apron and sitting at everyone’s table to have a chat.
He stated, “It sounds so stupid, but I would’ve walked around with a little apron on and sat at everyone’s table and just had a quaint, little life, and I bet I would have loved it”.
But after the 2000s, Jason’s career started to take a turn after he was cast in Arrested Development, which turned out to be a massive hit, reversing his decision to step away from showbiz.
