Jason Batemanis detailing an awkward conversation he had with his teenage daughter.
TheZootopia 2star, 57, appeared on a Wednesday, Feb. 25 episode ofJimmy Kimmel Live!and spoke about how his 14-year-old daughter Maple had recently gone through sex education at school last year. When his daughter was done with the class, Bateman said he asked if she had any further questions.
Bateman, who also shares daughter Francesca, 19, with wife Amanda Anka, said that he "didn't want to tell her anything [he didn't] need to" and felt that Maple "played dumb" to force him into an awkward conversation when she said she wasn't "positive on a bunch of stuff."

The dad of two then went on to explain intercourse in his own words, but couldn't find the right words to describe what he called, "the release."
TheOzarkalum went on to call "ejaculate" a "necessary component," but said he was unable to say that word to his daughter. Instead, he said, "When the male member is inside of the woman's member, it is so lovely."
"There is so much....the penis just screams. And it's the equivalent of the penis just yelling, 'I love you!' And it yells the love into the woman, and then you get you, baby,' " explained Bateman.
In September, Bateman hadhis daughters by his side at the premiereof his movieBlack Rabbit. The actor was photographed attending the premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and posed next to his two daughters, as well as his wife Anka, on the red carpet.

Back in August, Bateman shared that aside from him and his wife, his daughters also receive a lot of support from their friends — including the actor's frequent collaborator, Jennifer Aniston.
Bateman spoke withVanity Fairfor their recent story on theFriendsstar and shared that Aniston isvery close to his two daughters. In fact, Bateman said Aniston is more of a "co-mom" with Anka than just a friend or aunt.
"She almost makes us parents look bad because she's so incredibly attentive and consistent with her curiosity and warmth," theArrested Developmentalum told the outlet of Aniston, whom he met while costarring on a '90s sitcom with her friend.
"She's the first one to call or text about big dates in the girls' lives. She has questions about boyfriends," he continued.
When he's asked if she's an aunt to his daughters, Bateman said, "Aunts you might not see all the time. She's almost closer to a co-mom with Amanda. She's been a part of their lives from the moment they were born."
"It is odd for them to even understand the public Jennifer Aniston," he added.
