Having been Hollywood’s hottest ticket for decades, Jason Bateman could easily give out a crash course in all things showbiz. But since Bateman made the holiday season a festive feast for Netflix subscribers, fans have urged for a VIP pass into his past chronicles, and the experience has been even more fulfilling. While asking the actor what he does differently may be futile in pinpointing why he is a league above his contemporaries, questioning the source of his handsomeness may get them at least halfway there.

To imagine no one has done that before would be ignorance since years ago, Bateman lifted the shroud of secrecy behind his incredible looks.

Jason Bateman’s acting repertoire is well-documented, but roughly eight years ago, he flexed his range of hilarity. In an appearance on Conan, the talk show on TBS, Conan O’Brien did not shy away from giving the pats to the actor for his “incredible” looks, calling him extraordinarily “fit.” While the host was on the lookout for his workout regimen or any other secret Bateman was keeping close to his chest, the actor jokingly revealed the secret is that he is “sick.”

Bateman’s humility is as hilarious as his on-screen antics. “I don’t look that great,” he quipped before dishing out his secrets to stay somewhat presentable. According to the actor, what he does is less important than what he does not—like he does not eat like a “pig” or hibernate 15 hours a day like a bear. He also reminisced about his partying days, chuckling that his face retained water like a camel, or as Will Arnett funnily puts it—like he had just devoured a Chinese baby.

While Jason Bateman played coy mostly with his secrets, upon Conan O’Brien’s confession, the actor did reveal his wife’s part in making him that incredible.

During his hilarious conversation with Conan O’Brien on Conan eight years ago, Jason Bateman turned the tables on the host to want an in on the secrets behind his youthful appearance. While O'Brien’s beauty routine had diets and gluten-free recipes, he claimed to douse himself in moisturizers, only to debunk the claim. Though Bateman has bewitched many with his charm, he revealed his wife was the real skincare sorceress, and moisturizer was actually the secret sauce.  

Bateman’s wife wielded the power of hydration, casting a spell with her trust toners, face, and hand creams. Although Hollywood’s crash course on beauty was his domain, skincare had always been his wife’s territory. Eight years later, Bateman still looks like a million bucks, and believe it or not, moisturizers seem to be the magic elixir to making it big in Hollywood.
