Dave Bautista Calls Out Hollywood ‘A**holes’: No More Set Drama!
BRAWL IN HOLLYWOOD: Dave Bautista Calls Out "Aholes" in the Movie Industry, Sparking Wild Speculation and Uncovering Shocking Secrets**
In a bombshell revelation that's left fans reeling, WWE wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista has come out swinging against what he calls the "a**holes" in the movie industry. The 56-year-old star, who's been in Hollywood for over 16 years, claims to have had it up to here with the toxic behavior and drama that plagues Tinseltown.
During a candid interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub while promoting his latest film, Afterburn, Bautista opened up about his frustrations with working alongside "awful" co-stars who consistently bring down the mood on set. "Absolutely awful," he laughed, shaking his head in disgust. "I'm just at the age and point in my life where life's too short for all this nonsense."
When asked to elaborate, Bautista made it clear that he's had enough of working with people who don't share his passion for filmmaking. "I want to work with people I love and respect," he declared. "Because I love this business, I love making movies, and if you don't want to be there, then I don't want to be there with you either."
The Afterburn star didn't name-drop any specific co-stars, but fans on Reddit are already speculating about who might have earned Bautista's wrath. Jared Leto and Edward Norton are among the top suspects, both known for their intense dedication to their craft – which some see as a thinly veiled excuse for being difficult to work with.
Meanwhile, Chris Pratt is being let off the hook, largely due to his reputation as one of Hollywood's nicest guys and Bautista's own fondness for him. But don't be surprised if fans start digging up dirt on other actors who might have rubbed Bautista the wrong way.
The Afterburn director, J.J. Perry, seemed to agree with Bautista's sentiments, chiming in with a resounding "Amen, brother!" when asked about the importance of having a positive and supportive team on set. "If you don't have someone like Dave Bautista in your life or a Dave Bautista, you're missing out," Perry gushed.
But it seems that Bautista's latest film might be the most challenging shoot he's ever experienced – and not just because of the tough terrain or high-stakes action sequences. In fact, the actor revealed that working on James Gunn's 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy was the toughest shoot of his career to date.
"We shot this huge fight scene...it was involving probably like 50 people," Bautista recalled, chuckling. "I think we did 23 takes, and it was just very big and complicated with the camera, and everybody had to be right on." And while that may sound impressive, Bautista confessed that it ended up being a waste of time – the scene never made it into the final cut.
But don't worry, folks; Bautista has some juicy secrets up his sleeve. When asked about his upcoming film, Highlander, he teased that it might just dethrone Guardians as the most difficult shoot of his career. "I have a feeling I'm gonna have a new answer for you after I finish this Highlander film," he slyly hinted.
As fans eagerly await Bautista's next move, one thing is clear: when the big guy speaks, people listen – and Hollywood better take note before it's too late!
