Dave Bautista addresses weight loss following fans’ concern
nme.comDave Bautista has addressed his recent weight loss following fans’ concern.The former WWE wrestler told Chris Van Vliet that his recent change in physique was motivated by his acting career, because he didn’t want to appear “distracting” on camera after gaining a significant amount of weight for Knock At The Cabin.“I started trimming down because I got really big for a role.
Uncomfortably big,” Bautista said. “For Knock at the Cabin, I got really big. I was around 315 pounds… I put the weight on really fast and I put on an uncomfortable amount of weight and it took forever to shed it out.”After deciding to shed the weight, he realised he felt much more comfortable on camera interacting with other actors.
Losing some size also means he is less likely to be cast in purely action roles, something he’s previously said he wants to branch out from.“The more I trimmed down the better I looked on camera,” he reasoned. “And the better I looked next to other actors.
People say, ‘God, you’re skinny’. I’ve even seen online, some people worried about my health.”Before Bautista clarified the reasons for his weightloss, fans had been comparing images of him at his WWE peak, where he was notably more muscular, to recent ones on the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival carpet and questioning if he was ill.People are concerned about Dave Bautista’s weight loss.
