Romantic Comedy
Dave Bautista is looking for his next role, and he’d like it to be a chance to show his softer side.
The former wrestler told Page Six on Monday that while he knows he’s “not your typical rom-com lead,” he’d like to be considered for a movie like that.
“I’m a little rough around the edges,” the ‘Knock at the Cabin’ actor said. “But I always look in the mirror and I’m like, I’m like, ‘Am I so unattractive? Is there something so unattractive about me that’s shutting me out of these parties?’
The actor, who is best known for playing the alien Drax in Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” film franchise, lamented that romantic comedy roles “never come my way.”
“I still have high hopes. I’ll just keep looking,” he concluded.
After the release of the horror thriller “Knock at the Cabin” this week, from director M. Night Shyamalan, Bautista will next be seen in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” later this spring.
Bautista has previously expressed his “relief” that the new Marvel movie is wrapping up this franchise.
“I just don’t know if I want Drax to be my legacy,” he told GQ in January. “It’s a silly performance, and I want to do more dramatic stuff.”
In recent years, Bautista has largely taken on roles that show off his acting skills, like “My Spy” opposite Melissa McCarthy and “Stuber.” He also appeared in “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery”.
