Dave Bautista says he wants to star in a romantic comedy: 'I know I’m not your typical rom-com lead. I’m a little rough around the edges...I’ve never had an offer to do a rom-com. I still have high hopes. I’ll just keep searching.'
Knock at the Cabin star Dave Bautista wants to be a romantic comedy leading man. Bautista started in the world of professional wrestling before transitioning to a successful acting career. He's starred in several major franchise films, taking on the role of Drax in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starring in Rian Johnson's Glass Onion, and even sparring with James Bond in Spectre.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While speaking with Page Six at the premiere of M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin, Bautista admitted he wants to branch out, adding romantic comedies to his resume. While he has proven himself a capable actor throughout his career, it would seem as though romantic lead parts have never come his way, but he holds hope for the future.
I know I’m not your typical rom-com lead. I’m a little rough around the edges. But I always, you know, I look in the mirror and I say, I ask myself, ‘Am I that unattractive? Is there something that unappealing about me that excludes me from these parts?' I don’t know. It’s just never come my way. I’ve never had an offer to do a rom-com. I still have high hopes. I’ll just keep searching.
Bautista has been able to step outside of action films on a few occasions, showing his aptitude for comedy and drama. Glass Onion saw him as part of an ensemble cast wrapped up in a mystery, and My Spy was a comedy where he played a CIA agent blackmailed by a 9-year-old girl for spy lessons. His new film Knock at the Cabin is also set to show audiences an intense performance in the horror genre.
Despite not being offered a romantic comedy, Bautista has proven that he is capable of various genres. He could handle the emotional stakes often needed in a rom-com, as he's shed tears on screen before, highlighting how well Bautista can play vulnerability, which is no small feat given his stature.
