Jason Bateman showed that love of basketball runs in the family as he shared a joke with his daughter Francesca Nora during an LA Lakers game on Tuesday night.

The Ozark actor, 56, looked laid back in a navy jumper and mid-blue jeans as he took in the action at the match against Washington Wizards at the Cyrpto.com Arena.

He kept warm with a padded jacket with sweater sleeves and added a pair of white and slate Nike trainers. 

Francesca, 18, was gripped by the sporting drama as she wore a navy hoodie and light blue rolled-up jeans.

The teenager completed the look with white socks and beige slippers and could be seen eating some fried food and hugging her father while sitting in the courtside seats.

American comedian Ray Romano, sporting a grey jacket over a white T-shirt, was also present at the match and sat next to Canadian TV star Drew Scott, who wore a brown cardigan on top of a white polo.

New-York born Jason returned to LA earlier this month after joining old pal Jennifer Aniston on her annual trip to Cabo San Lucas for the new year.

The actor was part of a substantial group who were part of her vacation to the Mexican city.

Jason has been married to his wife Amanda Anka since 2001 and the pair have two daughters together – Francesca and Maple, 12.

Meanwhile Jennifer has been married twice, first to Brad Pitt from 2000 until he left her for Angelina Jolie in 2005, then to Justin Theroux from 2015 up to their split in 2017.

Jason and Amanda were among only 70 select guests invited to Jennifer and Justin’s secret wedding at their Bel Air home.

The Arrested Development star and his wife were also part of the even smaller group of intimates who joined the couple on their honeymoon to Bora Bora.

Jennifer and Jason enjoy a long professional bond, having worked together in five movies going back to the 2006 film The Break Up also starring Vince Vaughn.

They have since co-starred in The Switch in 2010, Horrible Bosses in 2011, Horrible Bosses 2 in 2014 and finally Office Christmas Party in 2016.

‘We’ve always just really gotten along well,’ Jason told the Guardian in 2011. ‘I think I was just fortunate to be a good fit for parts in her films.’

Jason’s new film Carry-On, a Christmas heart-warmer about a blackmailed airline security gurard, topped the Netflix ratings after its December 13 debut despite sparking disbelief from those who work on planes in real life.

One unidentified flight attendant claimed he would tell fliers to get out of the galley if he saw them there after watching Jason’s character enter the area amid the drama. 

He also questioned the position of the plane’s cargo hatch – a door providing access to anyone loading or unloading baggage. 

Despite the film’s 87 percent score on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) spokesperson Jessica Mayle agreed that many of the Carry-On scenes were unrealistic.
