Fans are worried about Dave Bautista's muscle loss

Dave Bautista is known for being a huge guy, from his time in WWE to playing larger than life characters in movies, such as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy.

But seeing him in recent interviews, fans noticed that he had lost a lot of weight.

Dave is now 55 years old, and his priorities have changed. He's revised his diet, predominantly eating a plant-based diet, and has swapped a lot of his weight training for more cardio, in an effort to improve his health and longevity.

He also takes his acting career extremely seriously, believing that a smaller frame might give him more opportunities.

What do you think about Dave's recent weight loss?

[Davido]

He got off the JUICE folks. He pushed it looong enough. He made a smart move.

The Rock: "more gear left for me!"

[DayLenFemboyKing]

He has mastered the ability of staying so health conscious that he speaks without making a sound.

[ivanv.g.]

Good for him! Bautista's already proven that he can act, and very well at that. I'm excited for his future roles!

[deifiedtitan]

He said after doing one of the GOTG films that he hated being at that size at his age and he wasn’t going to do it anymore/much longer (forget which). The stress gear puts on you is very real, especially as you age, so not surprised at all. Dude made his money and now he’s taking care of himself, so good for him.

A former wrestler prioritizing health. Get this man a medal

[GreyLeo]

He is nearly 60 and expecting him to maintain that much muscle is crazy

[DrMuFFinMan]

He's a great actor and maintaining that level of bulk is a full time job. It requires tough workout regimes and a constant intake of food. So good for him on making the decision to tone it down a bit.

[samkedwards]

He's taking his health seriously, and wants to be considered for more serious roles. I'm happy if we get more years of Dave. Absolutely love the guy and can see he's an incredibly talented actor, especially in Blade Runner 2049 and Dune

Dave’s prime in WWE was something to behold, man. Such a beast. Built like Hercules.

[RC_KAI]

After years of steroids he is finally realizing health is wealth. Congratulations to him. 👏

[KabilanThamizhan]

Young & healthy. Dude you look older than my grandfather

[Dale]

He doesn’t want to be another Dwayne Johnson and playing the same role over and over. I respect him for that. He knows he has acting talent and wants to use it.

[MenBeingHappy]

It’s simple. He doesn’t want to die. Most body builders I loved in my 20’s died at 46, some younger. The body can’t handle that. If you want to make it past 46 you have to come off the super human levels of gear. If not a stroke or heart attack is guaranteed.

[krumpits]

The dude doesnt wanna be on steroids anymore, and is at a point in his career where he feels he doesnt need to be. Good for him.

[kindzadza]

Just like Noel Deyzel once said in one of his shorts having too much mass is exhausting, even if its pure muscle. It affects your joints, sleeping, sweating, etc. so aiming to be more leaner is the solution for this. So glad Bautista realized that and took the right path.

[jasonh.]

The crazy thing is, he was significantly smaller as Drax than he was as a wrestler. That's how big he was in WWE.

[luigimussolini]

Because it's Dave Bautista who CAN Act, that makes perfect sense; hope he gets more roles.

I was shocked at first but then i realized good for him he's saving his heart and liver instead of staying huge and dropping dead of a heart attack in 5-10 years
