Dave Bautista made a big announcement recently - he has successfully lost a significant amount of weight. The former WWE wrestler turned Hollywood actor, known to fans as simply Batista, has been making waves in the entertainment world with his roles in popular franchises like James Bond and Marvel. But this time, it's not about his acting career - it's about his impressive weight loss transformation.
At 55 years old, Dave Bautista has completely ditched his muscle-bound frame for a much slimmer figure. He made his first public appearance sporting his new look at the premiere of his new film, The Last Showgirl, at the Toronto International Film Festival. He looked almost unrecognizable in a sharp black suit, white beard, and tinted glasses. Fans couldn't help but notice his significant weight loss and commend him for his dedication.
In a recent interview, Bautista revealed that he is currently the lightest he's been since he was 19 years old. He has lost a total of six stone in the last 18 months, with his weight peaking at 370lbs when he was signed with WWE at 31 years old. Throughout his wrestling career, he maintained a weight of around 290lbs, but now he's down to 240lbs.
Bautista admits that it hasn't been easy to slim down, especially after gaining weight for his role in the 2022 apocalyptic thriller, Knock at the Cabin. But he was determined to lose the weight and has since become very particular about his diet. He even turned to jiu-jitsu as part of his fitness journey, sacrificing a lot of muscle in the process.
Despite his successful career in Hollywood, Bautista's roots will always be in wrestling. He debuted in WWE in 2002 as Deacon Batista before changing his name to simply Batista and becoming a six-time world champion. But in 2019, he officially retired from wrestling and has since focused on his acting career.
Although he misses the adrenaline rush of wrestling, Bautista has made peace with his retirement and insists that he will never undo his retirement match against his mentor and friend Triple H at WrestleMania five years ago. He dreams of walking out and hearing his entrance music once again, but he knows that it would only tarnish his storybook ending. He has no plans of returning to wrestling and is fully committed to his acting career.
