Bautista is one of several wrestlers who successfully made the transition to acting, arguably the best of the bunch, and by now he's got several very impressive performances under his belt.
Plenty of filmgoers will know him from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, while he's also been in Blade Runner 2049, the Dune films and appeared in the Knives Out sequel.
His latest movie, which he slimmed down for, is called The Killer's Game and is set to release this week (13 September).
While he's been promoting it, people have noticed that Bautista looks a lot slimmer, and the actor told Chris Van Vliet all about his weight loss.

He told Van Vliet that another reason was 'I just got fat', explaining that he got 'uncomfortably big' for his part in Knock at the Cabin, where director M. Night Shyamalan apparently said to him, 'I don't want you to look like a powerlifter, I want you to look like a great big guy'.
The star said he had little time to put on weight so achieved it with 'french fries and pancakes', and thinks he might have 'overdone it' in retrospect.
Bautista said it 'took forever' to shed the weight he'd gained, but as he did, he started realising he was feeling some good changes.

He said: "Then I noticed the more I trimmed down the better I felt, and I also noticed the more I trimmed down the better I looked on camera, the better I looked next to other actors.
"Because typically, even at this weight it's weird because people think, like, for me people say 'god, you're skinny'.
"I even saw online some people are worried about my health and when I say it out loud to people 'I'm 6'4, 240lbs', it sounds like when you say that out loud I'm a big person.
"But to me because people have seen me so much bigger over the years they think I'm like anorexic, but I'm just a large human being.
"So at 6'4, 240lbs next to your typical actor I look like a gorilla and it's distracting."
Bautista reckons he'll 'probably lose a few more pounds' as he said he was 'killing myself to be this trim' and 'training hard'.
The Avengers Endgame star added that his calorie intake was 'pretty restricted' to around 2,500 calories a day, though Van Vliet said that was 'enough for someone my size'.
All things considered, if he feels better and happy then there should be nothing to worry about.Featured Image Credit: Kayla Oaddams / Stringer/Getty RB/Bauer-Griffin / Contributor/Getty

Couple's gender reveal goes horrifically wrong on doorbell cam video
The unfortunate gender reveal blunder was caught on camera
This article contains affiliate links and LADbible Group might make a commission on anything purchased.
Smart doorbells come with a number of handy uses — from being able to answer the door from any room in your home to dealing with parcel deliveries when you’re not in.
But there's one particular model that's captured unexpected moments time and time again - and it recently captured a rather unexpected family moment.
The doorbell, from Ring, is one of the most popular models on the market and has currently got a whopping £30 off.
Let’s just say, the gender reveal in question didn’t exactly go to plan and it was all recorded on their doorbell for our viewing pleasure.
When Simon and Bronagh Laverty from Craigavon, Northern Ireland were getting ready to host their friends and family at their home to share whether they were expecting a baby girl or a baby boy, they enlisted the help of a balloon packed full of either pink or blue confetti to do so.
But, as the clip captured by their doorbell showcased, their balloon burst suddenly just as the father-to-be was walking out the front door of their home. And the telltale blue confetti that escaped from it spoiled the surprise for them prematurely.
Ring
Not only did Simon now know that he and his wife were expecting a baby boy but Bronagh also found out the gender in real time after receiving a motion detector alert from Ring on her phone.
Simon explained that his wife immediately called out to him, “What just happened?! Have we literally just found out what we’re having?”
He recalled that even though he was going through a number of different emotions after seeing the balloon pop, he was both happy and relieved to find out that his wife had seen the reveal as well.
Simon shared: “We look back at the video all the time, it gives us a laugh about what happened and how we found out. Catching it on camera was even more special than doing it in front of friends and family as we can keep and cherish it.”
Ring
He did, however, rush out to get a new balloon so as not to spoil the surprise for their closest friends and family.
“To be honest we had to play along with the whole thing and make sure no one else knew that we found out before the new balloon had popped, as we didn’t want to ruin the surprise for everyone else,” he affirmed.
The couple’s loved ones also found it incredibly funny after they eventually saw the clip.
As Simon and Bronagh were subscribed to one of Ring’s subscription plans, this meant that they could download, save and rewatch the footage for up to 180 days after the unexpected incident.
And the happy parents can’t wait to show their son Theo – who will be three in November – the video one day.
“It will be good for the wee man when he’s older to show him and say ‘This is how we found out what you were going to be'!” Simon told Ring.

I'm A Celeb dramatic weight loss shown as Fred, Frankie and Nick take photo after leaving camp
The three campmates have been reunited
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestants Frankie Dettori, Fred Sirieix and Nick Pickard have shown off their dramatic weight loss following the show.
The campmates are forced to stick to a very limited diet during their time in the jungle - although some viewers thought they saw Nick tucking into a panini last week - living off mainly rice and beans.
In a snap shared on Instagram, the three men could be seen posing topless as they enjoyed a bit of downtime at a hotel pool.
Frankie, 52, Fred, 51, and Nick, 48, all sported slimmed-down physiques after their time in the camp, but appeared to be happy to be back in the real world as they smiled for the camera.
Nick, who is best known for playing Tony Hutchinson in Hollyoaks, recently revealed he had lost more than a stone since taking part in the show.
He told The Sun: "I've lost one stone, three pounds!
"They weigh you at certain points during the trials and things because there are weight restrictions like on the Critter Mixer and I was trying to look(at the scales) but the medic wouldn't show me.
"So it makes it all the more interesting when you come out."
He said: "Then I noticed the more I trimmed down the better I felt, and I also noticed the more I trimmed down the better I looked on camera, the better I looked next to other actors.

Meanwhile, Fred - who was the third celeb to be voted out - said he had to be treated by medics during his time on the show.
Speaking after he left camp he said: "We had torrential rain for the first two weeks, it was nonstop. My foot got infected, I got burns everywhere on my legs, I’ve had cuts, I’ve had splinters.
"We had an incredible medic, Paul, this man is unbelievable. I had things on my feet and he gave me some stuff, a cream, this guy is unbelievable.
"It was a week and a half in. I told him, we have producers we talk to in the Bush Telegraph and I told them, please go to Paul and tell him how thankful and grateful I am because this man – I love professionals who can do a job well.

"It is like a good plumber. It is always wet, there is always something happening. He is the man who assessed me today and I thanked him again."
Talking about his weight loss, he added: "I was 76.6 kilos when I went in, I was the fittest I have ever been, physically and psychologically – I have trained and prepared for this. The focus has balanced me out in a way I have never been before in my life.
"In the jungle, because you are on rice and beans, first I lost a lot of fat but I lost a bit of muscle as well. But the muscle quality has gone up because I was very physically active. I lost 5 kilos, (11lbs) I am so fit."Featured Image Credit: Insta ITV

Disturbing images show shocking effect wearing something like Kim Kardashian’s dress can have on body
People were left concerned by Kim Kardashian's Met Gala outfit
Last night saw a plethora of decadently dressed celebrities descend on New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Met Gala.
The theme for the event was 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion' with a dress code of 'The Garden of Time,' inspired by a dystopian story by JG Ballard, which sees the rich shelter in a garden as a crowd of the poor and needy draw ever closer.
Outfits from the annual event often go viral on social media, but Kim Kardashian's look from last night has left a lot of people online worried.

She wore a custom Margiela by John Galliano dress featuring a strapless silver corset and fitted floor-length silhouette made from a delicate silver leaf mesh.
She topped the look off with a grey shrug-style cardigan.
But, while thousands of fans of the reality TV star often try to copy her day-to-day style, very few envied her extravagant look.
Following the event, people flocked to social media to pass comment on the corset Kardashian was wearing, which made her waist so small you might wonder if there was space for her vital organs.

One person wrote that her tiny waist made them feel 'uncomfortable,' while another said the outfit is 'actually concerning.'
Kardashian's outfit raised a lot of health concerns and for good reason.
In the Victorian era, the pursuit of the hourglass figure led to women being so tightly laced into their corsets that they would suffer serious internal injuries.
In a 1890 article in The Lancet, one of the world's oldest medical journals, a doctor stated that the consequences of corseting 'cannot be but hurtful.'
Over a long period of time, some women's ribcages became deformed, their digestive tracts suffered and their back muscles atrophied through disuse.
Rebecca Gibson, an anthropologist at American University, has investigated the effects of corsets on the skeleton by studying remains dating back to 1700-1900 AD.
Research shows that the regular wearing of corsets led to deformities of the ribs and spine (Museum of London)
She measured the width of their rib cages, the angle at which the ribs meet the spine, and the angle of deviation of the vertebrae.
Of the ten skeletons Gibson examined, every one had deformed ribs pushed into an 'S' shape and vertebral spins misaligned from the typical vertical position.
She says this is 'consistent with long-term pressure on growing ribs and vertebrae and inconsistent with other types of documented damage such as rickets.'

A further skeleton shows unnatural compression of the ribs, which leads to reduced lung capacity, as well as constriction to the pelvis.
And, using more than a dozen historical corsets from London's Victoria and Albert Museum, it has been determined that the average adult woman's waist was just 56 cm in circumference.
In comparison, data reported by The Telegraph shows the average British woman now has a waist size of 35 inches.
With that in mind, let's hope Kim's corseted ensemble was a one-off.
