In a recent episode of the talk show, The Jonathan Ross Show, actor Dave Bautista stole the spotlight with a thrilling jiu-jitsu demonstration. The Guardians of the Galaxy star amazed the audience as he ripped his shirt during the performance.

Bautista, known for his impressive physique, discussed his early career in wrestling and how it helped him gain recognition. Despite being a shy and introverted person, Bautista found comfort in performing physically demanding roles.
The conversation then turned to Bautista’s latest film, “Final Score,” which has been compared to the classic action film, Die Hard. The actor revealed that the movie was shot in an actual football stadium, paying tribute to the demolished West Ham ground. Bautista admitted that he wasn’t familiar with English football, as he is more interested in boxing.
The discussion took an unexpected turn when Ross suggested a group session of Jiu-Jitsu, referencing an athlete who excelled in the sport. Bautista politely declined, making it clear that he had no interest in participating.

However, the excitement reached a peak when Bautista’s shirt unexpectedly ripped, adding an extra layer of entertainment to the already action-packed routine.
