In a recent interview with Esquire the “Zootopia 2” star talked briefly about why he and his sister, actress/director Justine Bateman, don’t see each other much.
“There isn’t the typical ‘We see each other every Thanksgiving or every Christmas and our kids want to be together.’ There isn’t that. In a great way,” he said. “Our conversations are the rich conversations you would have with an adult friend, not the kind of petulant back-and-forth you might have with your adult sibling.”
“We hang out, and we’re nice to each other because we respect one another as individuals regardless of the blood thing,” Bateman added. “I’m seeing her for lunch next week.”
