Fame can get to everyone and that includes the likes of Dave Bautista. As the 'Guardians of the Galaxy’ star revealed with Independent, he at times wants to just hide from all the fame, “It can get a bit overwhelming,” Bautista explains from his home in Tampa, Florida – far away from the noise and temptations of Los Angeles or New York. “Sometimes even now I want to crawl under a rock and hide. I live a very secluded life. It’s my way of hiding under a rock, I guess.”

Well, as it turns out, he wasn’t having the best time during his recent hotel quarantine, away from everyone else. Dave admitted he put on a lot of weight while quarantining in Canada, over 20 pounds.

He would even post a photo of his meals along the way, “It is with great sorrow and regret that I inform you that I’ve turned into a guy who takes pictures of his food. 😭 One Week of Hotel Quarantine Food. Thank God I have a kitchen.” The meals were somewhat healthy, minus the chicken fried rice, bacon, fried eggs, and a few other guilty pleasures. Of course, Dave wanted to improve his eating habits and he did exactly that when landing in Australia.

20-Pounds Down

Since touching down in Australia for ‘Thor: Love And Thunder’, Dave is focused on dropping some pounds and getting back to tip-top shape. He’s closing in on 270, which would be a decrease of 20 pounds. “Been getting after it lately! Canada quarantine I put it on and not in a good way. 😂 Got up to 290 and I’m too damn old to be walking around at 290. Australian quarantine had to to get things back on track. Back down to high 270’s and dropping. Hopefully! 🙏🏼Trying to bring some sexy home to my lil Hufflepuff. 💪🏽 #AlwaysGrinding #DreamChaser.”

Fans seem to agree, the 52-year-old is looking great.

“Looking good! Hope you're enjoying it here in Australia.”

“Whatever you lost, send it here. I need them gains big dawg 😂.”

“Beast mode, what a legend.”

At the very least, he’s making the most of his quarantine experience ‘Down Under’.
