Will Arnett and Jason Bateman's relationship can seem complicated at times, but the love between these two is true (at least for one of them).

The Arrested Development costars have openly flaunted their bromance—just look at how tight that hand-hold is—so of course Arnett discussed working with his brother-from-another-mother during an interview with GQ for their June comedy issue.

"[Bateman] is like my brother, and that makes it easy for us to have this complicated brother-like relationship on the show," he told the mag. "You know, Jason and I love each other. I mean, he loves me and I like him."

(Clearly, Arnett knows how to play hard to get.)

"Even on Arrested Development, as absurd as it is, you always bring some of your own stuff, on an emotional level, to the character," Arnett says of creating his role as Gob Bluth, and added, "I'm not saying Gob deserves true friendship, but he really is seeking it."

Aw, that's what Bateman—er, Michael Bluth is for!
