Actor
Jason
Bateman
says
he
does
not
want
his
children
to
go
into
showbiz
as
he
feels
it
is
an
odd
business.
The
44-year-old
actor,
who
has
two
daughters
-
six-year-old
Francesca
and
17-month-old
Maple,
with
his
wife
Amanda
Anka,
is
not
keen
on
them
following
his
footsteps
and
pursue
acting
as
their
career,

Talking
about
his
childen
Jason
Bateman
declines
to
introduce
them
to
film
industry.
The
actor
said,
"I
want
to
help
my
kids
navigate
their
careers,
but
I
don't
want
it
to
be
in
the
entertainment
industry.
Acting
is
kind
of
an
odd
way
to
make
a
living
and
I
hope
they'll
be
drawn
to
something
other
than
that."
Bateman,
who
first
appeared
as
a
high-profile
teen
actor
in
the
1980s,
doesn't
want
his
daughters
to
deal
with
the
disappointment
that
comes
with
being
an
actress.
"I
want
my
daughters
to
be
very
passionate
about
what
they
want
to
do
and
to
be
very
unapologetic
about
wanting
success
in
that
field
and
sometimes
in
acting
they
sense
you
want
it
too
much," he
told
the
Metro
newspaper.
Jason
Bateman
further
said,
"Plus,
you
can't
really
get
a
diploma
or
a
degree
that
guarantees
you
employment
-
that's
a
little
frustrating
in
that
sense."
