Jason Bateman has revealed that he nearly ran over Michael Jackson while working on a show in the ’80s.The Ozark star appeared in TV show Silver Spoons in the early part of the decade, and explained in a new interview that he and co-star Rick Schroder almost hit Jackson with their bikes while the singer was visiting the set.“This is while we were doing Silver Spoons at Universal and we’d need to have our bikes because kids gotta play.
