Further, he completed the look with a pair of shiny black shoes and sunglasses. However, the catchy thing about his look is the four layers of white pearl jewelry on his neck.
Many of his fans admired his new look, writing comments like, “He looks amazing,” “Handsome as Ever,” and “Looking good, my brother. ” Others became curious about his shocking weight loss and asked, “Why do you look so small?“
After losing around 50 lbs, Dave Bautista says, ‘This is probably the lightest I’ve been since I was 19!’
Multiple award-winning wrestler Dave Bautista weighed an average of 290 lbs throughout his career. He once pushed his weight to a staggering 370 pounds, marking the heaviest he had ever been in preparation for his game.
However, as the ex-WWE Champion now weighed only 240lbs, he became unrecognizable.
According to The US SUN, the actor lost a huge amount of weight for his new role in the upcoming action comedy The Ki*ler’s Game, which will be released in theaters on September 13, 2024.
Talking about his extreme body transformation, Dave Bautista said to Chris Van Vliet, “I’m getting super trimmed, this is probably the lightest I’ve been since I was 19 years old.”
Further, the My Spy actor, “Throughout most of my wrestling career I was about 290lbs (21st). Now I’m about 240lbs (17st). And I went a year and a half ago for Knock at the Cabin, I went 315lbs (23st). And that’s when the nightmare started.”
After the extreme weight gain, he started having trouble keeping up with his daily routine, and that’s when he decided to lose weight.
Similarly, the role in The Ki*ler’s Game demanded a huge mass of weight loss, which presented a huge challenge. Now that he has lost weight, he confirmed it was not easy for him, and he is particularly concerned about his diet, which plays a vital role in shaping his body.
