AceShowbiz - Dave Bautista is wondering why he never gets rom-com offers. In an interview with Page Six, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" actor revealed that he has "high hopes" so be a rom-com lead.
"I know I'm not your typical rom-com lead," Dave said. "I'm a little rough around the edges. But I always, you know, I look in the mirror and I say, I ask myself, ‘Am I that unattractive? Is there something that unappealing about me that excludes me from these parts?' "
Still, Dave couldn't find the answer. "I don't know," Bautista added. "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."
That aside, Dave recently divulged that he gave up on his dream of playing bane in DC universe. "I have had conversations with [director James Gunn] about that but I think the direction he's leaning in, completely rebooting that whole universe, he's starting from scratch and starting younger and fresher and I think you need to do that," he said.
Dave insisted he "understands" the need for a younger face to portray the character, and doesn't believe he would "bring justice" to the role at this point in his career. He additionally shared to Insider, "I think for the DC Universe to be revived, you need to start from scratch, and I think you need to start with younger actors."
