@@marvj8255 I didn’t quite introduce myself, but yeah. Let’s say I had one of those moments where you’re just starstruck, you want to say something but holding the fan girl that passes of as inappropriate.
Drax was literally made for Bautista. I can't visualize anyone else playing that role. Thank you Dave for bringing Drax to life. You made that franchise what it became. And it showed how amazing of an actor you are.
Lmao the audacity,u say that BCS u only Saw the movie.Drax is NOT a embarassing clown goofball,he's a badass, hardened,extreme type of guy😂😂gotta love MCU and James Gunn to ruin characters, cant wait for new Superman movie where he jokes cringily mid fight
Loved Dave as Drax. My favorite line is when he tells Mantis he isn't attracted to her because he likes women with 'meat on their bones'. It was hilarious and all of the full-figured ladies swooned in the audience!!!
Hearing the stories of Dave's tattoos is so touching because it reflects Dave's self aware and sensitive side. Getting a tattoo because your co-star thought you had a Winnie the Pooh tattoo is extremely loving and thoughtful of Dave, also Dave talking about his love for the Filipino people because they embraced him even though he was half Filo.
@@theaudjob3267 not really, there are many purist Filipinos out there who believe if you aren’t full Filipino and don’t speak the language you can’t claim the heritage
Me as a wrestling fan, he had big success as a wrestler before acting however since guardian of the galaxy he became a big star! He always wear sunglasses due to stage fright
I met him in the mall when I was a young teen, he was walking around killing time before a WWE event. He was the nicest dude in the world. I ran into him 45 mins later he was still just as nice. Amazing guy.
The thing I love about Dave is he is an example of how a person can grow and change as they get older. That you arent tied down by your past, that it's OK to change who you are as a person
Never expected Dave Bautista to be a great actor but every role he gets, he shows more and more versatility. Also watched Glass Onion recently and he's a really entertaining part of it.
Use to frequent the same bar as Dave. Always a humble guy. Loves to talk with people as long as you’re respectful like anyone else. Good to see him progressing
I met Dave years ago in Arlington Virginia (long before he became a professional wrestler) and then again after he achieved success with the WWE. The really cool thing is, he was more approachable after success than he was before. GREAT GUY
Even though when he was first introduced in WWE and was portrayed as a bad guy, I was instantly a huge fan. I've always been super happy that he's a great dude and has a massive heart. Hope his career keeps soaring.
I agree, but when he made his return at the royal rumble years back and won it, the fans hated him that much they nicknamed him bluetista. Now, for some reason, people seem to like him again! So weird LOL!
Honestly, the story and eye sign of false missa about the Winnie the Pooh tattoo is the most wholesome thing I've heard in a while 😭Dave's the best Illuminati puppet of all time.
I remember meeting him when he was filming the bushwick movie. He stopped by the old place I worked at, and legit ordered chicken adobo every day for like a week. Lmao he one time ordered 2 orders and wanted it on one plate so he wouldn't look "fat" which is comical since he was 6ft plus muscle machine. Also during that time when he was struggling, he was still so very generous and super sweet to the staff. Stand up guy, and legit has been a childhood hero for years. I love that man. I wish him many more years of success and respect.
@@d.r.lucky13 Cena isn’t actually that bad tbh, the slight look of disbelief and regret when he kills Rick Flag in TSS surprised me, he isn’t as good as Batista though yet
Cena is really good in Peacemaker. It’s just that he’s successful in comedy and continues getting roles for those. But yea - Dave, Cena, Andre the Giant, The Rock.
@@Romel95x There is a reason why he is always getting roles. It's not about talent, it's about who sells out the most, it's about who sells their souls the most whether on screen or behind closed doors, just like the Oscars and Grammys
Never thought that a badass guy like Dave would get a Winnie the Pooh tattoo just because of his co star guessed it wrongly of him. Really show his true personality and what a humble human being. What an idol to many.
This dude is a f'ing legend - the first scene in Bladerunner 2049 was when I realised all my conceptions of wrestlers were wrong; his performance is so compelling, the subtlety beautiful. Life in tattoos: I walking that same journey. Big up yourself, rude boy! :)
Batista one of my favorite WWE superstars when I was a kid, he had such a unique, look, a major star and always enjoyed his matches, happy to see him shining in Hollywood now 🙌😊
He's still got a pretty unique look. Different with the excessive tats and basically bald look. He seemed more interesting around the 2003 era IMO. When he tried to make a comeback in like 2014 it was meh. Even the fans didn't really seem to give a hoot.
@Graham Lopez no body is perfect dude, people are allowed to make mistakes, trip, fall, struggle. Just because someone is in the eye of the media doesn't change that.
What Dave did after WWE it was a huge risk to take & I’m glad he stuck to his guts to pursue acting he believes his own ability to go through with it I’m proud of his accomplishments 👏
I remember in my childhood where my old friends would talk about Dave and him being half-Filipino. We were really proud that there was someone as iconic as Dave carrying the sun and the flag. You are always welcome here in our humble country.
@@jujsjxlwoxrjcihrcudw2223 American national though. Almost no person would call him filipino or greek except for those pinoy priders who claim everything that has some connections to ph.
Dave Bautista will always be one of my all-time favourite wrestlers. Evolution was the best thing ever that I’ve seen in WWE and Batista made sit-out powerbombs look incredible. I love the way he portrays Drax in the MCU. Drax and Rocket need a spin-off film, I’d watch the crap out of that!
The biggest guys tend to be the warmest and caring. I think the outer rough appearance allows them to relax to know that they don't have to put up a tough guy appearance.
It's cool he has a Blade Runner tattoo! People should watch Blade Runner 2049 to understand how talented this man really is. In his minor role, he proves that as an actor, he can make a massive if understated emotional impact with just a few lines and imposing physicality. Truly an underestimated gentleman of cinema.
I saw him in Glass Onion and could tell immediately. I do think that as he is getting older, he'll feel better being less bulky. He's still potentially terrifying if you didn't know who he is. Lol
I'm gonna say that Dave is actually a brilliant actor. He only needs a perfect character and script to get an Oscar. To see him grow in movie industry is a pure pleasure
Man - what a legend. Was always a huge fan of him when I was younger when he was a wrestler. Such a great actor, especially in dramatic roles. He’s only had some small ones, like in Blade Runner 2049 and Spectre, but he was fantastic in both.
@@kubolor1234 I personally think Dwayne's acting is not that bad, but every time he is in a movie he doesn't become a character, but just a brand. Most of the time we only see him as the rock, never the character and the production always only tries to show that not pushing real character development
They are calm and mindful also; they're not less intelligent and less eloquent because their culture is depicted as barbaric or hollywood designation as villainized secret agents, why he plays them well. To stand for something that is true for you others are inspired to make a statement that's real expression for themselves.
Thank you for everything you've given us and will give us in the future Dave ,I can honestly say growing up with you on the TV and the big screen is amazing ❤
He definitely has that filipino vibe. Just so down to earth. And growing up poor can bring such humility and understanding to your character, you can be relatable to anyone.
Been a fan of this king for 20 years and I could not be more happy for his post wwe success as a future hall of famer and what a true gentleman with a sense of humanity, culture, and respect for representation 🇬🇷 🇵🇭 👑.
Way back in the day when Batista was in Evolution, I once saw Batista eating at a restaurant outdoor patio in Montreal with a friend. (WWE was doing a show in Montreal) A street kid (I'd guess 18 or 19yrs old) asked him in broken English (She was French) if she could have anything that he didn't finish eating. He bought her and her maybe 10 friends (her friends were on the other side of the restaurant fence) each a takeout meal. I don't think she didn't knew who he was because she only called him "Mister". I think that probably tells you the kinda person Batista is.
What a crazy interesting break down of his tattoos! And so relatable to anyone who's gotten tattoos and later maybe thought better of one or two! When he showed the tattoos of his dogs, that really tugged at my heart! New respect for Mr. Bautista.
Got mine on my dogs birthday last year. My first and only tattoo currently but I had to do it to honor him. Now he's with me everywhere. I got it on my forearm. Just do it. You won't regret it at all.
I got two memorial tattoos for my boy Chance, his paw print and a silhouette of his ears. We put some a few specks of his ashes in the ink. My favorite tattoos.
We need to see Cillian’s reaction lmao. Been a fan of this dude since wrestling. Drax made his acting career what it is today, and it’ll be sad to to see him go. But I can’t wait to see what does in future roles. He’s improving with each film. 💪🏽 He was great in Blade Runner 2049 especially.
Spotted his finger tattoos in Glass Onion when I watched it for the first time tonight, wondered what they meant. Couldn't have come at a better time GQ, the stars have aligned.
When I watched wrestling as a kid, Bautista was the last wrestler I would have guessed to become an actor. Now, I’m glad he did, he’s a great Drax in GoTG and I enjoyed his role in Glass Onion. Look forward to seeing more of his acting.
Lots of cover ups are mostly as he said to get rid of ex's names. Another reason is to simply just do more like The Rock and Frank Mir got theirs because they wanted to upgrade them
@@DUKE-REBUKEM so the sun is filipino. If you look to our flag it's similar. But the all seeing eye has a different interpretation. Our national heroes are all Free Masons hence the all seeing eye. The interesting about it is in our culture we call an "Agimat" or a mystical medallion. Soldiers wear it during battles of spain, american, and japanese occupation. So it's cool for Dave Bautista to give a little reference and tribute to his filipino roots.
I love Dave. I hate the media soundbites always making it sound like he isn't grateful for his GOTG breakout role. He's a gentleman with values, in the package of a big muscle machine hahah. Got to love him.
I didn't know this guy as I don't follow WWE and I also don't watch many movies. I appreciate this interview because he is an honest dude with a heart and understanding beyond most others. Would love to meet him and just listen to his story.
Started watching WWE as an 8-year-old in 05. Missed Attitude Era, but pro-wrestling was a big part of my elementary school years. Don't watch it much anymore but, back then, it was so important to me .
Batista Bomb used to be my favorite move in the early Evolution era of the WWE. My childhood hero turning into adult role model, always respect Dave for this one!
I'm a big fan of Dave. Pretty solid guy. I'm glad he finally got the big break he needed with Guardians of the Galaxy. Wishing more success for you, big guy!
Hi Thanks for the comments and also Congratulations you have been selected among our shortlisted winners 🎁💐 Telegram the above username so we can sort this out thanks
Dave is a badass. As a kid I grew up watching him on smackdown. And to see how big he is now in Hollywood. The man deserves all of his fame and fortune. I wouldn't mind getting a tattoo in his shop either.
I love how kind and genuinely nice all these big wrestlers turn out to be. Him, John Cena, Dwayne Johnson, all seem really down to earth and great full for where they are. Really shows that you can be a big, muscle bound guy who "fights" for a living and *not* be a total asshat! Positive masculinity for the win!
Batista incorporated many tattoo styles into his body. I know many people prefer the cohesive look/themes, but I honestly love the different styles of tattoos all connecting. Edit: mixed styles ftw 💯
That's always been a matter of personal taste. Yes, some people want all their tattoos to kind of blend together into one cohesive piece, so matching styles, color palletttes, etc. matters to them - but then you look at guys like Dave, CM Punk, Bray Wyatt, Aleister/Malakai Black, etc. and they all have different styles on their bodies and pull it off just fine. It all basically boils down to what you view your body canvass as: a single piece of art, or more of a gallery.
He is Drax and I can't think of anyone else that would've been/done better, he made that character so great in my opinion. Never was a wrestling fan but what I have seen he was great at that as well. I hope he gets more parts in movies and even does some more serious or heartfelt characters.
Ever since his acting career launched, you can see how he grew as a whole. He sounds a lot more articulate, probably more than most people. Can't say I did enjoy him leaving wrestling for good. He's the reason I started watching it in the first place. Hope to see him in the Hall of Fame soon.
Floridian here. Dave had a place relatively close to me. Anywho, I'd run across him often around town. Never a bad thing to be said about him. Not just me. But like the world. I think he left Tampa after his divorce and hasn't seen him lately. But yeah. Dude is awesome.
For years I could never embrace my Filipino heritage but now I can. Not because of Dave but I've grown to do so. So awesome that he was able to do that all his life!!

I got two memorial tattoos for my boy Chance, his paw print and a silhouette of his ears. We put some a few specks of his ashes in the ink. My favorite tattoos.
We need to see Cillian’s reaction lmao. Been a fan of this dude since wrestling. Drax made his acting career what it is today, and it’ll be sad to to see him go. But I can’t wait to see what does in future roles. He’s improving with each film. 💪🏽 He was great in Blade Runner 2049 especially.
I'm a Filipino and Super Proud of DAVE BAUTISTA, We Love Him here in the PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭
Never even made the connection that he was in guardian's of the galaxy! Wholesome guy! Heartwarming life experiences he shared, too!
Y'all had to be there in the 2000s during this man's wrestling career. Evolution, Batista Bomb, eating Eddie Guerrero's food... good times!
Spotted his finger tattoos in Glass Onion when I watched it for the first time tonight, wondered what they meant. Couldn't have come at a better time GQ, the stars have aligned.
When I watched wrestling as a kid, Bautista was the last wrestler I would have guessed to become an actor. Now, I’m glad he did, he’s a great Drax in GoTG and I enjoyed his role in Glass Onion. Look forward to seeing more of his acting.
He's always been my favorite wrestler and one of my favorite actors. He seems so genuine and humble. Sweet too. I love him so much! ✨
All these stories make me love this guy even more
Absolutely loved Dave's acting ever since Blade Runner. He's a phenomenal actor and underrated because of his career history.
i love his mindset about cover-ups, having regrets is part of life and covering up reminders of those mistakes helps you move on
Dave is an awesome human being.
no he is awful
@@aespa690what’s wrong with him
@Graham Lopez every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you...party pooper, party pooper
@GrahamLopezIV womanizer? source?
didnt he cheated on his wife while she was battling cancer?
Sad he didnt talk about his most iconic tattoo. The bellybutton one😆 really wondered why he covered it up and why he got it in the first place
Lots of cover ups are mostly as he said to get rid of ex's names. Another reason is to simply just do more like The Rock and Frank Mir got theirs because they wanted to upgrade them
I think he said somewhere that it was a matching tattoo with an ex so he got it covered up
I liked how he forgot to mention his illuminati tattoo 😅, like bro it's the one we're looking at first in the interview.
@@DUKE-REBUKEM he said it was a Filipino sun
@@DUKE-REBUKEM so the sun is filipino. If you look to our flag it's similar. But the all seeing eye has a different interpretation. Our national heroes are all Free Masons hence the all seeing eye. The interesting about it is in our culture we call an "Agimat" or a mystical medallion. Soldiers wear it during battles of spain, american, and japanese occupation. So it's cool for Dave Bautista to give a little reference and tribute to his filipino roots.
Definition of don’t judge a book by its cover, Dave seems like such a humble, sweet and chilled dude
Dude comes off as genuine, humble and appreciative of his fame.. Dude comes off as genuine, humble and appreciative of his fame..
what an amazing guy. awesome to see the stories behind his tattoos
I love Dave. I hate the media soundbites always making it sound like he isn't grateful for his GOTG breakout role. He's a gentleman with values, in the package of a big muscle machine hahah. Got to love him.
got?
He loves his family, friends, and is grateful for the things in his life. Hes proud of his heritage. Good man. Hes awesome
I didn't know this guy as I don't follow WWE and I also don't watch many movies. I appreciate this interview because he is an honest dude with a heart and understanding beyond most others. Would love to meet him and just listen to his story.
The '05 to' 08 run was top tier and every rivalry and storyline told was exceptional in the WWE.
His rivalry against Cena was 🔥🔥🔥
This shows a whole different side of Dave. This might be my favorite interview that he has given.
He touches my heart on so many levels 🙏🏻🐶👵🇬🇷🎬👨🎨♥️
Started watching WWE as an 8-year-old in 05. Missed Attitude Era, but pro-wrestling was a big part of my elementary school years. Don't watch it much anymore but, back then, it was so important to me .
Crazy watching him in wwe back in like 2005 and now the dude is such a inspiration to stick to What you want ! And he is so wholesome
take steroids and lie about ur meaning of ur tattoo
Dude's amazing! He has come a long way. Miss him in today's wrestling...
I was lucky enough to meet Dave at the end of a smackdown show and he is the biggest teddy bear you will ever find. Nicest dude out ♥️
This is incredible. Dave really is a great storyteller.
was a big fan of him back when i watched WWE as a kid and i'm still a big fan now. such a great guy.
This good-hearted man is the living epitome that you should never judge a book by its cover.
Batista Bomb used to be my favorite move in the early Evolution era of the WWE. My childhood hero turning into adult role model, always respect Dave for this one!
The tattoos represent of his life that makes him not forget of all the memories he have
A fantastic actor the man is built like a tank and is really open about his emotions I'd listen to him for hours
Honestly seems like the nicest dude. The Tattoo's of his dogs had me. Then The Winnie The Pooh story was a really wholesome one.
I remember back in 2004 when I first started watching pro wrestling Batista had just a few tattoos, now his whole body is a living painting.
he had a lot back then also on his back not on the front of his body as much
I'm a big fan of Dave. Pretty solid guy. I'm glad he finally got the big break he needed with Guardians of the Galaxy. Wishing more success for you, big guy!
One of my all time favorite wrestlers and people. Such a good hearted dude!
Hi Thanks for the comments and also Congratulations you have been selected among our shortlisted winners 🎁💐
Telegram the above username so we can sort this out thanks
I don't know how you could watch this and not become a huge fan of Dave, he just seems like a great dude.
Dave is a badass. As a kid I grew up watching him on smackdown. And to see how big he is now in Hollywood. The man deserves all of his fame and fortune. I wouldn't mind getting a tattoo in his shop either.
For such a big star he seems so humble.
I love how kind and genuinely nice all these big wrestlers turn out to be. Him, John Cena, Dwayne Johnson, all seem really down to earth and great full for where they are. Really shows that you can be a big, muscle bound guy who "fights" for a living and *not* be a total asshat! Positive masculinity for the win!
Rock is a diva but I feel he is genuine too
@@kingpeso4240they’re all dope ppl in the grand scheme, everybody has their quirks
Big love for Dave! Glad he's doing movies, absolutely love the roles hes been doing
cool guy :)
Batista incorporated many tattoo styles into his body. I know many people prefer the cohesive look/themes, but I honestly love the different styles of tattoos all connecting.
Edit: mixed styles ftw 💯
That's always been a matter of personal taste. Yes, some people want all their tattoos to kind of blend together into one cohesive piece, so matching styles, color palletttes, etc. matters to them - but then you look at guys like Dave, CM Punk, Bray Wyatt, Aleister/Malakai Black, etc. and they all have different styles on their bodies and pull it off just fine.
It all basically boils down to what you view your body canvass as: a single piece of art, or more of a gallery.
I absolutely love this man! His heart is as big as he is!
And so is his illuminati tattoo.
This is the first time I have seen Dave being interviewed and to be honest he is a very down to earth guy who loves deeply and passionately.
Ele ta mais coroa aos 54. Ele diminuiu no tamanho. No tempo da wwe ele estava gigante aos 30 e poucos anos de idade
He is Drax and I can't think of anyone else that would've been/done better, he made that character so great in my opinion. Never was a wrestling fan but what I have seen he was great at that as well. I hope he gets more parts in movies and even does some more serious or heartfelt characters.
I remember when he first started acting he was not the best, but throughout the years he has gotten better and better
Used to draw his tattoos when I was wrestling fan as a kid. Im a tattoo artist now
that’s so cool!! happy for u
Ever since his acting career launched, you can see how he grew as a whole. He sounds a lot more articulate, probably more than most people.
Can't say I did enjoy him leaving wrestling for good. He's the reason I started watching it in the first place. Hope to see him in the Hall of Fame soon.
Floridian here. Dave had a place relatively close to me. Anywho, I'd run across him often around town. Never a bad thing to be said about him. Not just me. But like the world. I think he left Tampa after his divorce and hasn't seen him lately. But yeah. Dude is awesome.
For years I could never embrace my Filipino heritage but now I can. Not because of Dave but I've grown to do so. So awesome that he was able to do that all his life!!
Filipino heritage: welcome to KFC, what is your order sirrr?
@@JJ-qv8co kfc bayon tol
Why not?
Why? You were ashamed of being Filipino?
How about writing a book, Dave. They tell stories too. No judgement, just love.
What a kind, down to earth guy.
