Wild thing.
Jason Bateman revealed he was detained overseas for being “drunk and disorderly” while wearing a “leopard outfit.”
“I was arrested in Monaco for being drunk and disorderly in a nice little leopard outfit, fresh from the casinos, all banged up on,” the “Ozark” alum shared on his “SmartLess” podcast with Sean Hayes and Will Arnett on Monday.
“Cheap champagne and a pocket full of chips,” Bateman, 57, added.
“I just got rocked.”
The “Zootopia” voice actor didn’t disclose when the arrest took place.
However, Bateman has been sober since 2001 — the same year he married his wife, Amanda Anka.
In February, the “Arrested Development” alum said he stopped drinking alcohol because it caused “tension” with the actress, also 57.
“[She] didn’t demand that I completely absolve, but that was sort of the back-and-forth,” he told the Hollywood Reporter at the time.
“I was like, ‘Well, I feel like my [sobriety] ETA is six months away, but if I could land this plane now, it would alleviate a lot of the tension, so let’s just f–king do it,’” Bateman added.
The Emmy winner clarified that he abstained from alcohol and cocaine, but does smoke marijuana.
“I’ve got friends who had bottoms that were pretty chilling, but I was lucky enough to recognize, ‘This is probably as far as I should go if I still want to accomplish the things that I want to get to,’” he told the outlet.
“I was conscious the whole time of wanting to get a lot of these boxes checked before I became a father and a guy with a career that I not only wanted but had a feeling I might be able to get it if I just got the right job,” the “Horrible Bosses” star shared.
Bateman also shared that he wanted to become sober before he became a dad.
“I was conscious the whole time of wanting to get a lot of these boxes checked before I became a father and a guy with a career that I not only wanted but had a feeling I might be able to get it if I just got the right job,” he told the Hollywood Reporter.
The actor and Anka share daughters Francesca, 19, and Maple, 14.
