Jason Bateman stopped by to promote his new film “Identity Thief” and begged Howard to stay away from his checkered past.

“Be kind. There was a lot of drinking, Howard. That gets you puffy,” he said. “I used to do the drinking and the smoking and the snorting and the running around.”

Jason said it started with the film that killed his career—a film he only did because his father turned manager wanted to do a studio picture. “[With different representation] I wouldn’t have done ‘Teen Wolf 2.’ Dad was very encouraging. Dad was a producer on that movie,” Jason explained.

His career seemingly dead, Jason “drank [himself] into some very interesting situations.” All that changed one day when an agent who didn’t even represent Jason suggest he audition for “Arrested Development.”
