Jason Bateman thinks being a drug addict would land him more roles.

The 'Hancock' star admits he worries that his clean-cut image is spoiling his chances of landing edgier film roles and things he needs to find a way to sully his reputation.

He said: "I'm not sure there's a lot of money in that kind of image in Hollywood. What I need to do is generate a drug problem and cheat on my wife a little bit and get caught with some little starlet on the French Riviera."

Despite his reputation, Jason insists his life hasn't always been trouble free and he is glad he could make mistakes out of the public eye.

He added to Parade.com: "The truth is I wasn't a guy who stayed out of trouble. I had worked so much when I was a kid that I didn't get to go to college. My 20s were my fraternity life. I made a bunch of bad decisions, but I didn't end up getting arrested. Fortunately, celebrity journalism was not around and I got away with it."
