&#8220;Everyone is playing grab a**&#8221; &#8211; When Jason Bateman Got Candid About Working with Jennifer Aniston In &#8216;Office Christmas Party&#8217;

Long-time friends and co-stars Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston have always
had a common element. Their old wrinkles have come not by age but by a bucket
full of mirth and laughter. Amidst all joy and celebration, as we inch closer to
Christmas, it is time to go back to a Christmas movie by both the stars to
relive their youth. Here is an incident from the stars who were once co-actors
on the amazing set of Office Christmas Party.

The duo can hardly control from bursting into laughter when they are together.
On top of it, filming a movie was, of course, one great challenge. In the movie,
Aniston plays a “no-nonsense” boss with a demanding straight face. Bateman,
however, stayed true to his cautious ironist character and plays a technology
officer dealing with a recent divorce. 


JASON BATEMAN ON HIS COMIC ROLE ALONGSIDE JENNIFER ANISTON IN THE OFFICE
CHRISTMAS PARTY 

The movie is about the boss, (Aniston) throwing a legit party to land a client
and save the day. However, things go out of hand and it ends with the audience
almost rolling on the floor laughing. Needless to say, behind-the-scenes
bloopers are indeed even funnier than the actual movie. Especially when Bateman
once himself admitted to CNN
[https://edition.cnn.com/2016/12/09/entertainment/jennifer-aniston-office-christmas-party/index.html]
about the comic role stating, “I like that they are easier to do than dramas
because everyone is playing grab a** before and after action.”

On the contrary, he remarked that dramas have a sense of seriousness as
“everyone’s gotta be respectful on set”. And when this comes from the director
of one of this year’s most intensely spine-chilling and crime-drenched thriller
and suspense series, Ozark, we know we should not question that. On the other
hand, Aniston, who is famous for her evergreen classic F.R.I.E.N.D.S character
Rachel, could not stop joking about the role of the
boss.[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

Bateman further added stating, how they don’t keep straight faces. “We break up
all the time,” he gushed. They also talked about some of their special
Jason-Jennifer tricks to suppress laughter. Some of it included a sharp nail
pinch or some pain-inducing activity, only to end up laughing even
louder. Jennifer Aniston was last seen on the big screen in 2019. She has not
been on the news as much ever since. However, Bateman has a slew of megahit
blockbusters coming in line.
