At this point, muscles are no longer Dave Bautista's priority.
A WWE fan sneaks backstage to see Batista
Although it wasn't until he was in his 30s that Dave Bautista got his big break in pro-wrestling, it didn't take the actor too long to establish himself as Animal in the WWE. Apart from his personality and charisma, the actor's massive build was another important factor that helped him become a force of nature during the era of ruthless aggression.
But while it's not uncommon for professional wrestlers to maintain a brutal physique, Bautista hasn't shied away since parting ways with WWE, from shifting his weight to fit the role required. But his latest muscle shift has fans freaked out, as it's far from what fans are used to seeing when it comes to the animal.
Unlike Dwayne Johnson, who continues to maintain his chiseled physique as it is now part of his brand, Dave Bautista opened up about shredding a remarkable 50 pounds through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Considering he got huge during his stint in M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin, where he weighed 300 pounds, the actor used Brazilian jiu-jitsu to shed some of it during his time filming Dune.
