Jason Bateman interview: "The Change-Up is shocking and different"

Jason Bateman sheds his nice guy image with new comedy The Change-Up, which sees his family man swap bodies with Ryan Reynolds's brash womaniser.

The Change-Up's crude humour gives way to a soft heart as Bateman's Dave reconnects with his long-suffering wife and Reynolds's Mitch falls for legal assistant Sabrina (Olivia Wilde).

Speaking to Digital Spy, Bateman revealed why the title Naughty and Cheeky didn't make the cut and why he found relief playing a character who wasn't whiter-than-white.


The Change-Up is in cinemas from this Friday, September 16.
