      Exactly. He's just a more normal sized person now. Well, what's considered normal from a medical/scientific point of view, not what actually IS the norm these days. For the latter, he'd have to pack on more weight and have a bulging gut.

To reach 300 plus pounds you have to have a very sizable caloric intake along with heavy compound weightlifting to gain that kind of mass.

He has actively pursued roles to challenge himself and to educate him. It would’ve been fairly easy to follow in the footsteps of others (and no, I do not have any desire to denigrate any of them or any of their choices ) but he decided to go his own way and become something else entirely. And it’s working. He also seems to be a genuinely humble man who doesn’t seem to be attempting to prove anything to anyone other than himself. I hope I have him right.

    I think he looks great personally, it's a shift for sure, but not only will he open himself up to other roles but as you get older the body can't handle the weight, the strain builds up, and the guy is 55 now so I think he's making a good, healthy choice for himself and his career.

He can act! Add health & longevity to that benefit and it's the smart move for sure. Hopefully GoG will put 'Drax the destroyer' on a diet so that Bautista can keep the part.
