Bautista, 54, recently spoke with Page Six about his physical features and rom-com prospects during the New York City premiere of his film “Knock at the Cabin” on Monday.

Despite looming doubts, the retired professional wrestler remains hopeful, saying, “It’s just never come my way. I’ve never had an offer to do a rom-com. I still have high hopes. I’ll just keep searching.”
In addition to M. Night Shyamalan-led “Knock at the Cabin,” Bautista has appeared in several other projects, including “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story,” “Dune” and “Blade Runner 2049.”
