Dave Bautista Praises CM Punk’s Acting Potential

More popularly known for his presence in and out of the wrestling ring, CM Punk has started paving the way towards an acting profession with opportunities in Girl on the Third Floor and Heels. In a recent interview, Dave Bautista, former WWE superstar, and now Hollywood actor stated that Punk had not scratched the surface of what he can do in acting. Bautista has recently expressed his admiration for Punk saying that he has “unlimited talent” and could become a huge Hollywood star if he so desired.

In the interview, Dave Bautista said that he believes that the true potential of CM Punk as an actor has not been properly recognized. When considering that Dave Bautista was also able to switch from WWE to Hollywood. Now starring in such hit-shooters as ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Dune,’ Dave Bautista is an example of a successful wrestler who transitioned into an actor smoothly. His endorsement of Punk indicates this reasoning and where he also believes Punk has it in him as well since they are former wrestling co-workers.

Despite Bautista’s glowing assessment of CM Punk’s abilities, he acknowledged that Punk’s passion for professional wrestling could be holding him back from fully embracing his acting career, he stated;

I think he has a passion for acting, but I think still his heart is in professional wrestling, and until he’s able to let that go a little bit, he’ll never be able to fully envelop himself in acting. But I think he’s a great actor.

This insight gave me the perception of the idea that some wrestlers are closely related to the wrestling ring yet have other dreams apart from the wrestling activity. His loyalty remains with professional wrestling, despite the promising acting career he has begun to pursue.

A Future Acting Collaboration?

He not only told Punk that he could act but also extended an invitation and invited him to be on the upcoming project. The potential for a film collaboration between two wrestling’s biggest names is exciting for film enthusiasts.

Regardless of whether Punk decides to continue acting more in the future, from his remark, it is quite clear that the man has the talent to conquer Hollywood if he decides to devote his time to it.

Conclusion

CM Punk has already demonstrated his abilities by showing massive potential to be a great screen actor, and with stars such as Dave Bautista encouraging him, the wrestling superstar’s acting career seems quite promising. Although his devotion to professional wrestling may hinder him from embracing acting at its peak, Punk has the substance of talent. Viewers will have to wait and find out whether he sticks to his wrestling career or he may take up even more film roles. In both cases, a great career awaits the multi-skilled CM Punk in the future wrestling fight.
