Renowned actor Jason Bateman recently graced the inaugural episode of his father-in-law Paul Anka’s new podcast, engaging in a heartwarming conversation that delved into decades-old memories. Among the highlights was Bateman’s reminiscence of his 2001 wedding day with Amanda in Malibu.
Known for his roles in films such as ‘Game Night’ and ‘The Change-Up,’ Bateman shared amusing anecdotes from the joyous occasion, surprising guests with his unexpected aversion to dancing. Breaking away from the typical first dance tradition, Bateman chose not to celebrate togetherness with his bride. Instead, Paul Anka, his father-in-law, took to the dance floor with Amanda, adding a humorous twist to the actor’s public persona.
This revelation provides fans with a glimpse into a lesser-known side of Bateman, showcasing his lighthearted approach to life. Despite his reluctance to dance, Bateman and Amanda’s relationship has endured, marking nearly two decades of marriage. Even in a 2011 interview with ET Canada, Paul Anka spoke candidly about his son-in-law, referring to Bateman as a wonderful guy for his daughter. The enduring friendship between Bateman and his wife emphasizes the strength of their relationship, transcending the confines of the dance floor.
