Jason Bateman recalls 'painful but helpful' acting advice from Katharine Hepburn

Summary

Jason Bateman recalls a misunderstanding with Katharine Hepburn during the filming of the 1994 TV movie 'This Can't Be Love.' At 25, Bateman played Hepburn's driver and shared all his scenes with the 86-year-old screen legend. Hepburn gave him blunt advice about his acting, telling him to stop "acting" and just be present and listen. Initially painful to hear, Bateman later realized the advice was invaluable and helped shape his career as both an actor and director.
