Sometimes, as in the case of his SmackDown debut, he was disappointed. But when we meet by Zoom in September, he is trending toward yet another crescendo in his second—or is that third? Despite being a latecomer to Hollywood, Bautista found success quickly, starting with his breakout role as Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy when he was in his mids. And he just really focused on my performance, and he made people see me in a different light. That said, at six-foot- gahhhh!
But I do. In a hotel in Serbia in September, after a long day in production for the second Knives Out film, Bautista does look a little intimidating. His voice has the cadence of an Irish accent without the pronunciation, quick and gruff.
But he instantly dissolves any intimidation with shyness and warmth. He has a small gym set up in his room. He misses his year-old son, Oliver, and his two dogs back home in Tampa, and cabin fever has consumed him. Sometimes Hollywood owns you, too.
When Bautista was younger, he wanted to look like a bodybuilder because he felt so gangly and out of place all the time—he wanted to fill out. He began weightlifting when he was a teenager and joined a gym in Falls Church, Virginia. Growing up in a violent neighborhood in D. But in the gym he felt purposeful, like he belonged. So I went a different route, because I wanted to eat. Soon he started working as a bouncer. Once, a jury found him guilty of misdemeanor assault after he dragged a man out of the bar who he says had been hassling his then girlfriend, one of the bartenders.
The conviction was overturned. He kept bouncing for years, and he did some bodyguarding work and some lifeguarding work, bodybuilding all the while. He would compete here and there, even though he found the other bodybuilders arrogant and disliked being judged.
By the time he decided to try out for World Championship Wrestling, when he was nearly 30, Bautista was pounds. He looked the part. He made it as a wrestler, he likes to say, partly out of spite. His early years of wrestling involved an array of items getting broken over his head. At WWE, he worried every day that he was going to get fired.
But wrestling did pan out. Wrestling had become his entire life, and now he has some regrets about that, too. Editors' Picks: Streaming on Netflix. Create a list ». See all related lists ».
