After The Rock and John Cena, it was Dave Bautista who successfully made his shift into the realm of acting from the world of pro wrestling. Even though Bautista kickstarted his wrestling career pretty late unlike the other giants in the business, it didn’t take long before the Guardians of the Galaxy Star found his footing in the industry and the rest is history.
Following his achievements, Kurt Angle had nothing but respect for The Animal, as he expressed his astonishment towards the actor’s peak physical condition despite having an excruciating career.

And while recently reflecting on the most prominent WWE figures, who made a successful jump to acting, Angle expressed his admiration toward Dave Bautista. Apart from commending his Hollywood success, the WWE Hall of Famer flowered the actor’s physical condition despite putting his body on the line for years during his run in WWE. Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, Angle said,
“It’s crazy man he was like I guess he was a doorman for a bar… You know he was always big jacked up dude and someone came up to him and said hey you should be a pro-wrester… I’m really surprised at how well he moves around considering his age and you know what he has been able to go through but it’s crazy I mean he actually look, he actually is like working out like he’s 30 years old”
Despite being 54, Bautista has maintained his enormous physique, and while he is done putting his body on the line every week, the actor’s Hollywood resume keeps on revamping.
