You probably wouldn’t know it from watching his role in Marvel’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ or as his long tenure as a wrestler in the WWE, but Dave Bautista is a very shy person and opens up about his social awkwardness while as a guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Bautista is a larger-than-life person who has been in front of the camera for decades, though it turns out he never had any plans for this. He wasn’t even in sports or knew he had any athleticism until he was 16, and it turns out it was because other Filipinos in his school asked him to try out for the wrestling team.
