"One thing has proven itself to be true and that is having longevity in this business is not easy. Especially starting out as a child actor. Usually that's a story that doesn't always end well." Aniston said, which was followed by a joke, "When I actually met Jason it was kind of looking like it could go either way."

Aniston also recalled the time they went on a New Year's ski trip together where Bateman pranked the vacationers and scared them with his crazy antics. Eventually, the actress honored her friend by describing how hard working Bateman is and what it's like to be his friend.

"The part that I'm really the luckiest, that I get to witness as his friend, is Jason Bateman the husband, the fantastic father, the dear friend and as we lovingly call him: Grandpa."

Bateman will star in the upcoming Netflix series, "Ozark," a show that he describes to be his most "intense" work.
