Actor and former WWE star Dave Bautista<\/strong> is opening up about his recent 75-pound weight loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got really big for a role, and it was uncomfortably big,\u201d Bautista, 55, said during an interview published on Chris Van Vliet<\/strong>\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a> on Tuesday, September 10. \u201cI was around 315 pounds, and I put the weight on really fast. \u2026 I packed it on with French fries and pancakes.<\/p>\n

Bautista noted that the film in question was the 2023 psychological horror film Knock at the Cabin<\/em>, in which he played Leonard, one of four people trying to convince a family to prevent the apocalypse by sacrificing one of their own.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking back at it, I probably overdid it. I was probably a little too big,\u201d the retired wrestler said. \u201cI put on an uncomfortable amount of weight and it took me forever to shed it off.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tShocking, indeed! Some celebs seek out extreme methods to shed pounds, while others transform with the aid of healthier methods. From Rosie O’Donnell’s and Jordin Sparks’ respective 50 pound weight losses to Biggest Loser winner Rachel Frederickson’s whopping 155 lighter frame, see before and after pictures of celebrities’ weight loss transformations.\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But shed it off, he did, as Bautista shared that he is now around 240 pounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more I trimmed down, the better I felt,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I also noticed the more I trimmed down, the better I looked on camera and the better I looked next to other actors. \u2026 Even at this weight \u2026 at 6\u20194\u201d [and] 240 pounds, next to your typical actor I look like a gorilla, and it\u2019s distracting.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Bautista said that some people online have expressed concern for his health due to his slimmed-down physique, he assured fans that he\u2019s still a \u201clarge human being\u201d and is \u201cnot starving or anything.\u201d He is, however, working hard to keep the weight off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll probably lose a few more pounds. I\u2019m basically killing myself to be this trim. I mean, I am training hard,\u201d he said. \u201cMy calories are pretty restricted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWrestling fans have had to mourn many tragic and surprising deaths including athletes such as Sara Lee and Brodie Lee over the years. In October 2022, Cory Weston broke his silence about his wife\u2019s sudden death in an emotional tribute. \u201cI loved you from the first moment I saw you. I would always say that [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bautista noted that he does intermittent fasting and tries not to eat within 3 hours of going to bed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a short window,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bautista retired from professional wrestling<\/a> in April 2019. That June, he told Van Vliet<\/a>, 41, that he would \u201cgo broke\u201d before he did another wrestling match.<\/p>\n
