“Ozark” actor Jason Bateman was honoured Thursday as Man of the Year by Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals in Cambridge.
Students dressed in elaborate costumes bestowed the golden pudding pot — and a sparkly bra — on Bateman, but not before poking fun at his various roles in television and film and even tossing him a toy sword to fight his younger self. “Fun fact — because of the scheduling of that film (“Teen Wolf Too”), Jason technically didn’t finish high school,” Hasty Pudding Theatricals president, Nicholas Amador, said. “All for a movie that only got eight out of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes.” READ MORE: Jason Bateman Named Hasty Pudding’s Man Of The Year To earn his pudding pot, Bateman, 52, had to endure a little extra embarrassment: the Pudding members had Bateman sing Bangles hit “Eternal Flame,” (Bateman sang a rendition of the song in 2002’s ‘Sweetest Thing’) with a frozen banana acting as his microphone.
Thursday evening’s festivities marked the first time the award was presented since the coronavirus pandemic began in 2020. The last Man of the Year was Ben Platt in 2020.
Past recipients include Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro and Samuel L. Jackson. The 2022 Woman of the Year, Jennifer Garner, will be honoured Saturday.
