Dave Bautista is a bulky babe with muscles for days, which helps explain why he's been one of the more successful pro wrestlers to ever transition into acting. Part Filipino and part Greek, he's all sexy man to us! The capital B beefcake is originally from the Nation's capitol, Washington DC, where he was a bouncer, lifeguard and bodybuilder before he became a pro wrestler. Dave blew up in the WWE wrestling as "Batista" for years, eventually becoming WWE Champion in 2009. He gave MMA fighting a shot, but really turned his full attention to acting around 2010. In 2011, he starred in the revenge flick House of the Rising Sun (2011), which showed him shirtless in a couple different scenes. Is that a six pack? An eight pack? We'll stop the counting if he gets to the mounting! Speaking of getting hard, Dave appeared as Brass Body in The Man With the Iron Fists (2012), but it was in 2014 that Dave became an acting sensation thanks to his work as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). He pleased our dinks as the assasin Hinx in Spectre (2015) and the fugitive combat medic replicant Sapper Morton in Blade Runner 2049 (2017), then really turned to comedy in both Stuber (2019) and My Spy (2020). On HBO's single hotel room anthology Room 104, Dave played a former professional wrestler named Avalanche who we watch beating up all kinds of jabronis. Violence is never the answer, but we have to admit seeing his sweaty mucles flex as he delivered those beatdowns had us beating off. Dave's been killing it lately with big roles like the viciously cruel Glossu Rabban Harkonnen in Dune (2021), Jason Mamoa's little brother Edo Voss on Apple TV's See, taco truck owner turned badass zombie slayer Scott Ward on Army of the Dead (2021) and by continuing as Drax in all the Marvel movies including Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 (2023). We love seeing Dave's ripped chest, but wish Mr. Bautista would show it all and stop being such a bod-teaser!
