Boo, boring &#8230; blah. So it was fun to annoy him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love making him laugh \u2019cause he\u2019s very stoic. He\u2019s got, like, an intoxicating laugh. Once you get him going, it&#8217;s pretty beautiful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jason also relished the experience of shooting action scenes with Dave.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe movie star said: &#8220;He&#8217;s a badass. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;When he&#8217;s throwing punches at your face, it&#8217;s scary. I&#8217;m not gonna lie to you. He&#8217;s a badass. I just pretend to be a badass. I&#8217;m an artist. He&#8217;s a badass.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhat&#8217;s more, Jason enjoyed the opportunity to improvise during the film&#8217;s shoot.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe explained: &#8220;It was fun because it wasn\u2019t just, like, planned out. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We knew who we were playing, but we had a lot of freedom, which I think now where we\u2019re at in our career, people trust us that we\u2019re not gonna ruin it, and I think a lot of people just didn\u2019t give us those opportunities before. I won&#8217;t name any names, but now we get to play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Dave previously revealed that he tried to &#8220;buy&#8221; happiness when he first found fame.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe wrestler-turned-actor confessed to wasting his money when he first became famous.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe explained to Men&#8217;s Health UK magazine: &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t ready for that. I didn&#8217;t know how to deal with it. So I made all the bad cliche mistakes &#8230; I wasted all that money, and I could&#8217;ve done a lot of good things with that money.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I could&#8217;ve helped people; I could&#8217;ve helped animals. But honestly, I was miserable, and I was just trying to buy happiness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/jason-momoa-hails-regal-star-dave-bautista-1436575.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24 January 2026 Jason Momoa thinks Dave Bautista is &#8220;graceful&#8221; and &#8220;regal&#8221;.
