WWE legend, Dave Bautista is one of those superstars who is having a successful Hollywood career, along with the likes of John Cena and The Rock. Although he is still in great shape, it looks like age is catching up to him. The WWE Universe was in disbelief when they saw the picture of him at the Dune 2 premiere event. 

The 55-year-old star was at the premiere of his new movie, Dune 2, which is coming out on March 1, 2024. He wore a white checker’s suit and white pants, but the thing fans noticed the most was his white beard.

Batista stays very active on social media and often posts pictures of him in the gym or the swimming pool. He has been completely away from wrestling since his last match five years ago against Triple H at WrestleMania 35. The 55-year-old was also inducted into the Hall of Fame class of 2020, but it got canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is rumored that he will be inducted again into the Hall of Fame in 2024.
