Terrible children. Guest on ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’, ‘Ozark’ star Jason Bateman shared a hilarious anecdote about the day he and actor Rick Schroder nearly ran over Michael Jackson on the set of the series “Ricky or the good life” in the 1980s. The 53-year-old comedian explains that he and his on-screen companion used to ride bikes on Universal Studios film sets during their breaks. And so it was that one day, when Michael Jackson came to greet Rick Schroder, he revealed that he almost ran over the king of pop music (see from 1:00 p.m.) with his bike.
In a moment of general hilarity, Jason Bateman did not miss the opportunity to give a special look to the public when explaining that Michael Jackson was coming to visit his playmate – who was only a child – at his place of work. A reference to the accusations of sexual abuse of minors having targeted the singer. “I don’t… Hey! He was a fan of the series and a fan of Ricky,” he says.
“Michael Jackson arrived on the set while we were riding bikes and we almost killed him,” continues Jason Bateman, who played Ricky’s best friend in the sitcom, Derek Taylor, for two seasons (he will later be replaced by Alfonso Ribeiro, editor’s note). Fortunately, the King of Pop managed to get out of their way in time, avoiding the accident.
