At age 30, Dave Bautista had no high school degree, no experience other than weightlifting and bouncing at DC-area clubs, and no money to buy his daughter Christmas presents. He decided to change that.
Now, he's evolving from wrestler turned action star to serious dramatic actor. He says he doesn't care about his brand or his image, he's just obsessed with acting and the challenges it presents him.
What a crazy ride. Count me as a fan.
Rian Johnson says "someone is going to give Dave [Bautista] a real dramatic lead role in a movie, and they’re going to look like a genius.”
I'll be the first in line to see it.
