Jason Bateman Quit Partying For His Career

Actor Jason Bateman has revealed that he gave up his former partying lifestyle so that he could maintain a longer movie career.
He says that he no longer smokes or drinks and tries to be more active because he feels that would give him the best chance of landing more acting roles.
In a new interview, he said, “It’s the only way to go when you get to my age. Unless I’m planning to play Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones in biopics for the rest of my years, staying fit and healthy is a crucial part of my job. It tends to widen your chances when it comes to roles, as the homeless look can only get you so far.”
He went on to say, “The secret is simply to make work that you genuinely feel good about. Make each one count. You don’t have to deliver Shakespeare, but you can deliver the best performance you can. It’s that simple really. I think if you look back over any successful career, it’s really all about the work. People know when something is true, when something is good, and it stays. It’s always there, and it means you might just be too.”
Good for him!
