Batista doesn’t only beat up 70-year-old men on Raw, no no no, there’s far more to him than that, like insulting former WWE stars.
His target in this instance was one of the highest paid actors on earth and human geode, the Rock.
In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times, Big Dave Batista dismissed comparisons between himself and the Rock and John Cena, two other WWE stars who went on to star in films.
“Do not compare me to The Rock or John Cena. Everyone does it. Those guys are wrestlers who became movie stars. I’m … something else. I was a wrestler. Now, I’m an actor.”
“Rock was, in a way, a movie star before he was even a movie star. There is something about him that’s really special. I’d never take that away from him. Would I consider him a great actor? F— no.
“I want good roles. I don’t care about Fast and Furious or Bumblebee. … That’s not the kind of stardom I want. … I want to be in Dune. I want to work with Denis Villeneuve. I want to work with Sam Mendes and Jodie Foster. I want to work with Academy Award winners. I’m proud to be a character actor. I want that respect and credibility and education.”
