In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, wrestling legend Dave Bautista had a lively and entertaining conversation with the host. The charismatic actor shared amusing anecdotes about his experiences in New York City and his career in the WWE.
Bautista, who spends most of his time in Florida, expressed his love for New York City, calling it “interesting.” He recalled a funny incident where a fan mistook his autograph request for a weed exchange. Bautista found it amusing that the fan persisted in offering him weed throughout their encounters.
The conversation then took a nostalgic turn when Fallon presented a photo of a young Bautista at age 16. Bautista explained that he had just started lifting weights back then and shared that his father took the photo, proud of his progress.
Moving on to his professional wrestling career, Bautista revealed that he initially aspired to be a bodybuilder but eventually found his calling in WWE. He shared an amusing anecdote about his first trial at the Power Plant, where he was told to leave and that he would never make it as a pro wrestler. Bautista proved them wrong as he went on to become a prominent figure in the wrestling industry.
The conversation then shifted to Bautista’s acting career, particularly his latest film project with Samuel L. Jackson. Bautista expressed his admiration for Jackson and praised his fantastic personality and sense of humor. He even revealed that Jackson gave him advice on hitting his mark during acting scenes.
Bautista also discussed his latest movie, “My Spy: The Eternal City,” a sequel to the original “My Spy” film. He explained that the film focuses on the characters JJ and Sophie while they navigate their roles as father and daughter while also trying to save the world.
In a lighthearted moment, Bautista shared how his co-star, Chloe Coleman, inspired him to get a Winnie-the-Pooh tattoo. During a game show segment, Coleman wrongly guessed that Bautista had a Winnie-the-Pooh tattoo. As a gesture to prove her wrong, Bautista got the tattoo to show his sweetheart side.
The interview concluded with a fun clip from “My Spy: The Eternal City,” leaving viewers eager to check out the movie. Bautista’s engaging presence and humorous anecdotes made for an enjoyable segment on The Tonight Show.
