Dave Batista requested not to focus on his weight loss
According to the actor, over the years, it’s getting harder to maintain muscle mass this large, and his current roles don’t require it:
“My body is getting thinner. Probably the least weight I’ve been since I was 19. I have seen on the internet that some people are worried about my health. Now I’m nearly 2m tall and 108lbs and still look huge enough. Next to normal actors, I look like a gorilla, so no need to worry. “
Dave Bautista (aka “Batista”) then and now at 55. He stopped doing steroids and lifting heavy. He also switched to a predominantly plant based diet. The former pro-wrestler is now focused on his acting career.
Dave Bautista spent nearly 20 years in the WWE wrestling ring, but his ambition went far beyond that.
He followed in the footsteps of John Cena and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and became a movie star, but Hollywood led him to completely change his muscular appearance and now he looks unrecognizable.
