I was so surprised to find that out of all the wrestlers turned actors that he seems to be the most dynamic

u/PlayyWithMyBeard 5d ago

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by him in movies. I first saw him in Guardians of the Galaxy and enjoyed his character acting. Then in that Glass Onion movie, he played that dumb jock so well. Him and John Cena have been pretty good imo.

u/Empty-Ticket-8058 5d ago

He has a short role as a gentle android trying to avoid blade runners in the new Blade Runner. Good stuff.

u/PlayyWithMyBeard 5d ago

Oh yeah? I’ll have to give that a watch. Didn’t even know there was a new Blade Runner

u/yourkindhere 5d ago

By new he means 2049, the Denis Villeneuve one from 2017

New one is well worth a watch. Instead of remake, Villenue went with continuation of the story

26

u/lik_a_stik 4d ago

And masterfully. Was a huge fan of the original, like all the different cuts, etc. I had trouble admitting I thought 2049 was even better but ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Also Bautista was a very welcome surprise getting back to post topic.

It's a genuinely great and deep movie with some of the best cinematography maybe ever. I think that movie, plus the storytelling from Arrival were essentially Villaneuvue's application for Dune... come to think of it Basista was in BR 2049 and Dune.

17

u/wiyixu 4d ago

On the one hand it’s a joke Deakins had 14 noms and no wins before 2049. On the other … what a film to win it with. I have no words to do the cinematography in BR2049 justice.

u/Scruff606 5d ago

It's probably missed a lot because it was on a wrestling podcast. But a few years ago he did an interview on the Talk is Jericho podcast. He mentioned when he first tried to get into acting, his agency didn't take him seriously and brought him a bunch of straight to DVD action films. He told them he wanted to be an actor, not a movie star.

Long story short he ended up going off on his own and spending a ton of his money on private lessons from the best acting coaches he could find. And he has tried to be selective about his roles.

30

u/jonnyvsrobots 4d ago

This is basically what Arnold did. Had a vision to be a leading man, everyone laughed at him, but kept at it, held out for better roles, did acting classes, improv, etc. No one thought he’d ever be a star, then they wanted to pigeonhole him as tough guy villains and Conan types, thought he couldn’t do comedy, etc.

Don’t knock Cena! I know he hasn’t been given a lot of opportunities to show he’s a good actor, but he was really good as Peacemaker

Do knock Johnson though, he actually has almost no acting range.

That's what I have said I love Cena but Dave has way more range and can absolutely break out of the generic meat head roid typecast.

I'm really excited to see what he does next

I once read an interview with him where he said something to the tune of "I know I'm not going to get certain roles because I look like a fucking gorilla" dude wants to act.

u/cubgerish 4d ago

It's funny.

My first impression was "oh man, he looks really skinny, hope he's taking care of himself."

I'm the same height as him, and he still outweighs me by about 35 pounds. I also, am not what anyone with eyes would call skinny.

We're so used to seeing him as this freakishly large figure, and now he's just a somewhat big guy.

He could definitely use a new tailor though, those clothes make him look like he's wearing dad's.

u/Mediocre_Internet939 4d ago edited 4d ago

All in all it is just a much more feminine everything, than the overly masculine picture on the left. The outfit, and especially the posture and body language.

To which I say good, I'd rather see the man smile any day of the week. It really looks like he stopped playing the "role" of the manly-man man, and started being "himself".

Not that I'd know, but that's the vibe I got.

Edit: nothing more masculine than a man in a pink dress! Or rather, a man that isn't afraid of appearing feminine.

Edit2: also for the record the man is still big! He's what, 6 ft 4 and 240 pounds.

If it’s not just a different angle then it can be corrected with surgery or in mild cases with some specific topical care. It’s cutis verticis gyrata (CVT)

Not quite. Though it’s stated to not be definitive, many signs point to it being genetic and maybe thyroid.

He's off steroids, changed his diet, purposely losing weight to get down to ~210. He's ~6'01" and is close enough to 60 to start planning for it.

His home has an extensive gym. It looked to be around 3,000 sq/ft with every machine possible. I assume he's hitting a ton of cardio, doing higher reps, and has a personal chef keeping him on track.

Someone like this likely never gets completely off. He’s probably just running a TRT dose with a little HGH which is obviously way healthier. If he got completely off he would probably have no natural production from years of abuse and would feel like complete trash.

a doctor probably told him if he keeps doing steroids he's going to die

seen this happen to several guys IRL , they get heart / kidney / organ issues from years of juicing and the complications it causes, their doctors tell them they can either keep injecting steroids and die within a few years or they can stop, and they stop and deflate and look like a shriveled up raisin.

He actually looks healthy now. Just has a sleeper build

u/Travilcopter 4d ago

As a 6'2 285lb man I can say it's uncomfortable

That’s a tough Gucci suit

He’s losing weight because Ike many wrestlers that have abused PEDs for their work it is catching up to him and he was likely told by his doctor to slim down or expect serious health concerns soon, likely from an enlarged heart or something along that line. It’s not because he was “uncomfortable”.

Is that what happens when you stop steroids? Genuine question, I'm not poking fun. He wasn't fat, he was built, how do you go from built to so thin? Did he just stop working out? I'm just curious since it's a different kind of transformation I've seen, usually they go from fat to thin, not fit to thin.

Is he transitioning? It’s ok if so. Just wondering.

3

u/JanA_ann3 4d ago

He’s a good actor! But that’s crazy how weight changes you so so much. It looks like he had his buccal fat removed.

Is there a good plastic surgery or buccal fat removal sub that y’all know of? Asking for me!

At first glance I thought it was RuPaul 🙈

Dave Bautista —-> RuPaul

This keeps happening: some regular guy makes it into movies you like, and they ‘go Hollywood’, and become kinda disappointing and kinda useless.

I miss the old Rebel Wilson. I miss the old Amy Schumer.

I’ll just be over here waiting for the next interesting schlub to be in a half-decent movie …

u/0utsyder 3d ago

Dudes wearing pearls now?!?! I saw Justin Timberlake with a necklace on as well.

3

u/BodheeNYC 3d ago

He went a bit extreme in the opposite direction with those pearls. From typecast as alpha steroid freak to typecast as a femboy.

3

u/RandyRhoadsLives 3d ago

It’s like RuPaul found Ozempic, and grew a beard.

3

u/Strong-Amphibian-143 3d ago

Perhaps he’s not losing weight, he’s just channeling his inner RuPaul.

u/Solid_Foundation_111 3d ago

Why is everybody wearing pearls now?
