On September 1 Bautista posted a clip of himself flexing his muscles on Instagram, with the caption, “3rd week into weight training again. 2 more months to get to where I need to be. Like ridin a bike! LFG!??”
View this post on InstagramThe action star has always been well-known for his muscular stature, but he surprised fans in 2023 and 2024 when he started slimming down. After surpassing 300 pounds for his 2023 movie Knock at the Cabin, Bautista went on a 75-pound weight-loss journey.
“I started slimming down because I… was uncomfortably big. Now looking back at it, I probably overdid it,” he told the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast in September 2024. “At the time, I was just thinking, ‘I gotta get big, I gotta get big.'”
Through the help of jiu jitsu, cardio workouts, and a balanced diet, Bautista reached what he considered to be a healthy weight by late 2024. “People say, ‘God, you’re skinny,” he recalled to Chris Van Vliet. “I’ve even seen online some people worried about my health. [But] I say it out loud to people, ‘I’m 6’4,” 240 pounds,’ … I’m still just a large human being.”
