HOLLYWOOD — The stars stepped out in fine form on Monday night to support Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman's R-rated body-swap comedy, "The Change-Up." Reynolds and Bateman were joined on the red carpet by their lovely lady co-stars Olivia Wilde and Leslie Mann, along with surprise guest, Reynolds' pal Sandra Bullock.
In the spirit of the life-swapping element in the film, MTV News asked the attendees what other actor they'd like to swap careers, if not bodies, with, if given the opportunity.
"I would like to be Robert Redford," Wilde said. "I think being Robert Redford would be really nice. And also directing as well as acting, and doing Westerns as well as all sorts of movies, then living a really good life, starting a film festival. I would take Robert Redford. I wouldn't miss a day of my Robert Redford life."
Mann settled on Oscar winner and Hollywood legend Shirley Maclaine.
"That's a good one, right?" she said, adding that Maclaine's film classics "The Apartment" and "Terms of Endearment" are two of her favorite movies of all time.
"I think Jeremy Renner has got a nice thing going right now," Bateman said of "The Avengers" and "Hurt Locker" actor.
Phase II: 'Didn't you used to be Jason Bateman?'
“Valerie” (renamed “Valerie’s Family” and then "The Hogan Family" after Valerie Harper left), went off the air in 1991. And then … then came a little dry spell
This Can’t Be Love” was a TV movie with a dazzling cast, but it’s tough to stand out alongside Katharine Hepburn and Anthony Quinn. He landed major parts on “Simon,” “Chicago Sons,” George & Leo” and “Some of My Best Friends,” but do you remember the plot of any of those shows? Neither does anyone else.
For a while, it looked grim.
Phase III: Who knew Jason Bateman was so funny?
“Arrested Development” was the game-changer. Bateman's Michael Bluth became one of the iconic characters of the first decade of the new century, and the actor more than held his own alongside a strong cast and excellent writing.
But don’t forget about his appearance in “Dodgeball.” That was Bateman at his absolute funniest. He and Gary Cole stole an otherwise forgettable film in their role as broadcasters, and as ex-Dodgeball legend Pepper Brooks he cut loose in a way that he doesn’t get to now that he’s…
Phase IV: Jason Bateman … one of the best supporting actors around
Bateman isn’t likely to carry a film, unlike his “Change-Up” co-star Ryan Reynolds.
