Congratulations are in order for the starry-eyed Cupid inside Dave Bautista. Last year, the wrestler-turned-actor lamented the fact that he’d never been cast as a romantic lead. “I look in the mirror and… I ask myself, ‘Am I that unattractive? Is there something that unappealing about me that excludes me from these parts?'” he said to Page Six, breaking hearts across the nation.
It’s also the exact type of pain a cute love interest could heal over coffee, a donut, and the type of conversation that makes you appreciate what really matters in life. A bunch of rom-com producers thought so, at least. “I said that and started getting calls immediately. So we’ve got a couple [rom-coms] that we’re developing that are actually really funny,” Bautista recently told The Hollywood Reporter. He’s now “making my way there, like a full-on rom-com. Not like an action rom-com, a full-on rom-com.”
