Dave Bautista, the former wrestler turned actor, stunned fans with his significantly slimmer body at the premiere of The Last Showgirl during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Wearing a sleek black suit paired with pearl necklaces and dark sunglasses, Bautista’s transformation became a major topic of discussion online. Bautista’s striking appearance left fans both surprised and intrigued. Many took to social media to comment on his slimmer look, with one user asking, “What happened to Dave Bautista?” Others quickly defended his transformation, attributing it to his shift from wrestling to acting and the natural aging process
One fan explained, “What happened? He was a wrestler, and now he’s an actor. Two different stages of his life and he’s smashing it like a boss.” Another chimed in, “Batista is 55 years old. He is supposed to get smaller. He has gradually and naturally gotten smaller over the years, muscle-wise.
Supporters of Bautista also highlighted his passion for acting, noting that his physical transformation aligns with his new career. “He’s transforming into one of the greater actors who’ll let his work speak for itself. He doesn’t want to wait for just action roles; he wants to act. That’s his passion.”
Bautista opens up about his weight loss journey
In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Bautista revealed the extent of his weight loss and the challenges he faced. “I’m getting super trimmed. This is probably the lightest I’ve been since I was 19 years old. The heaviest I’ve ever been was 370 lbs. When I started Deacon, I was about 325 lbs. Throughout most of my wrestling career, I was around 290 lbs. Now I’m about 240 lbs.”
