The former WWE star and, by the way, total softie chatted about his new action film “The Killer’s Game” while playing with adorable pit bull puppies. He opened up about his love for the breed, working with Pom Klementieff again, how he’d love to star in a rom-com, and so much more! Follow Best Friends Animal Society @bfas_LA

It's really sweet that he kissed all the puppies

[JayofallTrades]

Dave Bautista lives in my area and he even rescued Sage, an abused pitbull puppy from the humane society Tampa Bay. He offered a reward for information to not only find out what happened to her but also to raise awareness to animal abuse. He is one of the most amazing people ever and I genuinely love him for that. He is an animal lover so this interview is perfect for him.

[jamesgipson]

Love how he's still jacked even though he's lost weight. If you'd asked me, I'd say he looks better. Respect to him for his discipline in jiu-jitsu and his good acting. Dudes a legend.

[seo_]

Love how sweet and quiet he is. Like he said, judging from his looks you'd think the opposite but he actually seems like such a pleasant person 💚

[mxstunkxwn]

Best wrestler turned actor period. The rock is like a robot walking billboard nowadays. This man is still humble and down to earth. Grew up watching him every monday and friday. He still a beast and one hell of a human 💯

[dominiqueeden]

"Are you guys impressed with me I'm a movie star" *quietest, sweetest, loveliest baby voice* 😅🥹

[nikwalters]

If anyone was made for the Puppy Interview, it was Dave Bautista.

[dakotac]

Somebody put him in a rom com, he's been asking for it for a while. Him giving them all kisses was so cute 😂 and letting them chew his shoes!

[bihterildem]

This man has the calmest cuddliest vibe ever omg melts hearts 😭😭❤️

[psypsy]

The man is doing wonders for all massive, heavily tattooed, hard-looking dudes everywhere. Not only is a good actor, which takes a certain level of empathy, but he's so openly caring and kind. Much respect.

[Shea]

Love him. When you see Dave Bautista in the roles he plays in, & in real life he looks so big, & so tough, & he is. but, he’s like a big, sweet teddy bear, especially when he's holding the cute puppies. 🐶🥰💜

[shawnholbrook]

I love that he was whispering when the puppies were falling asleep. 😊

[gracehowell.]

His clothes match the puppies! That's just so important to me somehow, IDK why.

[vanthadoun]

Dave stood up for James Gunn when no one else would. He stood up to the MCU and got a petition signed by all stars of GoTG, I will never forgot how much courage and loyalty he displayed for doing that. Not many people show that kind of backbone for his friend(s). Respect!

[feliciabourque]

Dave seems like the type of guy who is a big sweet teddy bear 🧸 I just want to give him a big hug

[leabarnes]

OMG I couldn't love this guy anymore then now. One because of the puppies but because he is so gentle and down to earth. And I'm a dog lover as well. I've seen all his movies and will continue to support him. He's just my favorite actor. I used to watch wrestling back in the day and I'm 60. Lol I just love Dave. 😄

[jlcollins]

Every time I see him in interviews, I just want to be his friend. He seems like a very kind, sweet fella.

[KB-xpdq]

He's almost cuter than the puppies in this interview. LOVE his honesty and openness.

[biggcam]

I fucking love Dave and his demeanor and style like he’s just cool ass dude and it’s totally reasonable for him to be actioned out he’s great at the dialogue and character building too

[JeffKelly]

Dave seems like such a lovely human being. I am so happy for him with all of the success he’s achieved as an actor. At this point, I think he’s unquestionably the best wrestler-turned-actor. The Rock is a giant star of course, and Cena is great as well, but Dave has the best range of any of them, and I don’t think it’s close.
