Jason Bateman talks about awkward conversation with daughter
Jason Bateman detailed an awkward conversation about the concept of sex with his 14-year-old daughter, Maple. After a few minutes of miscellaneous conversation and jokes, the conversation pivoted to sex education. Bateman shared, “I did just talk to Maple about sex. I did ask her if she has any questions or is all up to date,” as host Kimmel chuckled.
Bateman continued, “I think she sensed that this was an uncomfortable area for me. So I think she played dumb, and she was like, ‘Yeah, I’m not positive on a bunch of stuff.’ She kind of baited me, so I walked her through the steps, you know, and kept waiting for her to kind of cut me off. Uhm, she didn’t for the most part, and I found myself getting to the portion of,” as the audience launched into muffled giggles.
The Ozark star continued by saying, “You know when the release happens, right, which is a necessary component. You don’t want to be saying the word ejaculate to your daughter, right? That’s not a great term. There’s a lot of description that I didn’t want to get into.”
He continued, “I said, ‘When the male member is inside of the woman’s member, it’s so lovely.’ I said to avoid that term, the penis just screams,” prompting Kimmel and the audience to burst into laughter.
Furthermore, the Zootopia alum expressed, “It’s the equivalent of the penis just yelling, ‘I love you,’ and that it yells the love into the woman, and then you get a baby.” Kimmel instantly chimed in, “You should write a children’s book.”
Bateman will star alongside David Harbour, Linda Cardellini, Joy Sunday, and Richard Jenkins in the grounded dark-comedy television miniseries DTF St. Louis. The miniseries premieres on HBO on March 1 and will have seven episodes.
