Dave Bautista is Ready To Star in Rom-Coms

James welcomes guests Jenny Slate and Dave Bautista to the show and immediately comments on how Dave is defying age expectations by looking fit, trim, and much younger than his age. Jenny then details the struggles of mothering her growing toddler, and Dave reveals the one tattoo on his body that’s just too painful to finish. Jenny then tells the story of giving birth to her daughter and the highs and lows of taking an epidural. Dave details the plot of his upcoming movie, “Knock at the Cabin” and wonders why he hasn’t been cast in a rom-com yet. Jenny shares her whirlwind experience auditioning for the role of Pennywise the clown.

I love the sincerity when Dave expressed his frustration at not being able to convince Hollywood he can do rom-coms. Good for him being vulnerable like that, and I bet it leads to someone finally coming up with a solid idea for him.

[joyceschouten]

Dave is such a soft-spoken gentle giant with humor, he'd be perfect for a rom-com. The movie was awesome by the way.

[parisiennemoonlight]

Dave is a way better actor than The Rock. Dave has shown versatility in his acting with each movie, while The Rock is more concerned with Box Office draws.

[colinfraser]

I'm totally here for a Bautista Rom-Com

[jonpoon]

Of the wrestlers that got into movies, Dave is definitely the best actor

[marlenesheffield]

Dave Bautista cleans up very nicely and is aging like a fine Malbec. His talents have grown leaps and bounds; I look forward to seeing him in romantic comedies. Fine looking, juicy specimen of s man.
😳😍🥰❤️💋💯

[richboyprado]

I’m so happy for Dave! What a nice guy

[Ginric]

It helps as a wrestler when your the guy that generally gave out the beatings instead of bumping all over the ring :). But Dave B is great, def the best actor to come out of WWE.

[CaladonianQueen]

I would love nothing more than for there to be a Netflix Christmas rom-com where an ancient barbarian played by Dave Bautista gets magically transported to modern day New York and falls in love with a sassy but good-hearted 5ft2 tall baker/florist/bookshop owner.

[fawadable]

Dude he looks awesome. Best wrestler Turned actor! What a personality! And dave was very popular among ladies during his wrestling days so he still got it. The yellow lady clearly seemed into him

[federicotown]

you gotta love Dave such a chill and nice guy

[jesusrendon]

I grew up with Batista when I was little. He wrestled in one of the best matches. He deserves to be in the hall of fame. 💯

[MrGryphonv]

Jenny was showing thirst for Dave.

'You don't have to show the tattoo, but I'd love to see.'

[ArgChica]

And this is exactly why I love her!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I get it. I was too late for the drugs and it was all screaming 😱 🤣🤣

[uviyer]

4:53 Roasted in one phrase “Not yours” 😂

[claraxdantas.]

He is amazing and definitely would be perfect for a rom-com!

[rommelfrias]

DAves portrayal of GOTG DRAX is epic specially the scene where he thinks hes invicible.. hahahaha!

[DesignMeltdown]

My Spy had elements of rom com and it’s one of my favorite movies of his because of it! It would be fantastic if he and Jenny actually pursued a story.

[chrisleyva]

Dave is a different person than people actually ever thought watching him as a wrestler and know as an professional actor

[kariynethomas]

Yessss I'd love to see him starring in a Rom Com
