Chat with Bautista. Talks Bond, GOTG, WWE & More

So let's get things started by talking about how you landed this
role of Mr. Hinx?
I auditioned for it. Sent in a tape and then waited for a month.
Eventually they told me that Sam Mendes wanted to fly me over to
meet me. So I flew over, met him, we really got along and I
walked out of there with the job.
What is the most fascinating thing about playing this role?
I think the cool thing is that he was going to be categorized as
a henchman. And my fear was always that I didn't like being cast
as a muscle head. So two questions I asked Sam at that meeting
was if Hinx was a bada**. Then I asked if he was intelligent and
he said "Absolutely." Those were my two concerns because I
didn't wanted to be categorized as a subservient henchman. I
wanted to be a man on a mission doing his own thing. And that's
what Mr. Hinx is.
Mr. Hinx and Christoph Waltz's character Franz Oberhauser work
together in this film to thwart Bond. What was the experience of
working with Christoph Waltz?
It was hypnotic. You get sucked into everything about him. His
look, his demeanor. It's amazing. He's also the type of guy that
I could never tell if he was [messing] with me. He says
everything so deadpan that you can never tell if he is harassing
you or not.
He's always great fun and has a tremendous sense of humor.
What about working with director Sam Mendes and what did you
learn as an actor?
Sam makes things very easy. He makes you feel relaxed. He never
changes his demeanor. He's never in a bad mood, always a good
one. He's never demanding, just very calm and specific about
what he wants and why he wants it. I was trying to search for a
way to describe his directing style and it's really quiet and
soothing. He is very hands-on also.
What was the most exciting scene that you took a part in in this
film?
We did this elaborate car chase through Rome that was
incredible. They literally shut down the city for us at night.
When we driving these exotic cars through Rome it was insane. It
felt like I was really in a James Bond film.
Any other moments that made you realize that you were in a Bond
movie?
When I first met Daniel [Craig]. It was before we started
shooting. It was off-set, he was in the offices and I turned
around and there he was. I was meeting James Bond for the first
time, and it was a very surreal moment.
You obviously also got to star in "Guardians of the Galaxy."
What is most fascinating about being in such big projects like
these?
I don't think that I find anything particularly fascinating. For
me it's about the characters. I take jobs based on characters. I
noticed that conditions are better on bigger budget films, but I
don't mind roughing it once in a while if the quality of the
material is there. I can get used to some disorganized stuff. I
was with WWE and everything was always disorganized there.
How was the travel schedule for "Spectre?" Was that hard to get
used to?
I think that was the big difference with "Guardians" and it was
something that took a little while to get used to. We would be
moving to a different country and then a different location in
that same country. And then to another country and then to the
studio. It was insane and it beat me up a bit because I wasn't
used to it. It wasn't something that I wanted to do on every
project, but it was a great experience. It is something that
makes "Bond" films so special. There is an international feel to
them.
Let's shift to your transition from a professional wrestler to
an actor. Was it a tough one?
It was actually really rough. It didn't seem to start rolling
until Guardians was released.
The first film I ever did, I was with WWE and it was a favor to
a friend. When I did it, I realized I was a horrible actor. It
pissed me off because I left feeling embarrassed. It made me
want to prove myself and get better so I could get a second
chance. And there you go.

I hope we never see him in WWE again . He is a wast of money and
the fans just hate him ..he is never going to be the next rock
who can come and go when he wants .. I really think he is not
worth the money r to time
