- (Dave Bautista) What's up, guys?

Here to see my gym and fridge. Hell no!

- (Announcer) Bautista! Drax, AKA the Destroyer. Come on.

- Let's go check out your fridge.

- This is my fridge. Behold. (refrigerator opens)

- What staples do you always have in there?

- Staples- I do multi plant-based,

I do fish couple times a week so I usually

have a couple fish meals and I typically

eat eggs every morning so I'll eat an egg in the morning

and then everything else is kind of

typical healthy foods, plant based, rice and beans.

We always have chicken and broccoli for the pups.

- How has your diet changed over time?

- Way back when, when I was bodybuilding,

it was all about getting calories

and getting high, high protein

and I used to eat typically everything.

I found out in about 2005 that I was terribly allergic

to dairy and it affected my asthma so I cut that out.

Then in about 2010, I started training with Cesar Gracie

and the whole team was under a gluten free diet.

Most of the guys were vegetarians or pescatarians

and so I cut out red meat and I cut out pork in 2010.

Then I chose poultry since then,

just poultry, dairy free, gluten free,

and about six, seven months ago

I completely cut meat out of my diet

and went just predominately plant based.

I do have fish couple times a week and I do eat eggs.

- Which meat dish do you miss the most?

- The only thing killing me is

because I grew up on chicken adobo,

which is a very common, standard Filipino dish

and it's one of the few dishes that I make constantly.

I make it for myself and make for my friends

and now I still make it for my friends

but I have to just sit there and watch them eat it

and it's torture because I want to be committed

to cutting meat out of my diet

and eventually I want to go, I'll go vegan, eventually.

- What's your diet like on set?

- When I'm on set, I still have my meal prep.

So I eat, it's actually in my contract that I have to

eat no less than every four hours.

Then in between those meals if I get hungry,

I typically do an almond butter

and banana or a vegan, gluten free

grilled cheese, it's my favorite go-to.

- Is that a bottle of Cristal?

- So this is a very special bottle of Cristal

and the story behind this is in 2005,

when I won my very first World Championship with WWE,

afterwards at the after party, Triple H

and his wife Steph McMahon came up

and gave me this bottle of champagne.

Anyway, it has been in my refrigerator since 2005.

- What is your go-to comfort food?

- Easily, go-to comfort food is sushi.

All day long. Any day, every day.

Every day. All day. All day every day. Hahaha.

- Do you take any supplements?

- I take a ton of supplements but most

of them are old man health supplements

like a lot of CoQ10 and some ribose and some fish oil.

- What's your favorite lunch?

- My favorite lunch, let me show you. (refrigerator closes)

- Wow. How did this collection start?

- I started collecting lunch boxes in 2003 and I didn't

actually start collecting for myself. I actually bought

that lunch box right there for my ex-wife

because she had got her first office job

and I wanted to get her something cool.

So that was her favorite movie.

Then I thought, "God these things are so great.

They're so cool and they bring back so many memories."

So I started looking for my first lunch box

when I had when I was a kid which was this one, Fat Albert.

So I got that one because we were

super poor as a kid and so my mom

got my lunch box second-handed at a thrift store.

It was already... when I got it, the thermos didn't match

and it was already beaten up and it just brings

back memories to a special time in my life

and then my collection just started growing.

I just became kind of obsessed with them,

they're just so nostalgic and they bring back

so many memories from my childhood.

- Which lunch box is the most meaningful?

- Oh man. The most meaningful one to me...

This is my favorite. It's the Green Hornet

and it was 1967 Green Hornet lunch box

and the reason I love it so much is because

it has Bruce Lee as Kato and I always thought

that was the coolest thing, man.

You kind of... I don't know. He's a special person

and to have him on a lunch box and it's pretty great.

- All right. Let's see where you work out.

- Welcome to the gym. - How often do you work out?

- If I had my choice I would work out every day.

Sometimes I work out twice a day.

So this is not only a place where I stay in shape

but this is also my sanctuary.

I come here peace of mind, it's therapeutic for me.

It's not really something I have to do to stay in shape

but something I need to do to keep my mind right.

- Tell me more about those dumbbells.

- We had these dumbbells, and these were hard to get

from a company in the U.K. called Watson.

They designed this Drax logo for me

so they're kind of special made.

There's 202 on a lot of my stuff.

202 tattoos and it's just a representation

of my home town Washington D.C.

- How has your training changed over the years?

- When I first started working out in the WWE,

I was very concerned about how I looked.

You know I wanted to look like a star.

I wanted to look the part so it was

very much a bodybuilder style of work out routine.

Further along in my career as I started getting injured,

I realized that I didn't have to put that much pressure

on my body, to do that much damage to my joints

because I was doing double damage while I was wrestling.

So then I kind of focused towards the end of my career,

focused more on better cardio.

Cardio's always been a struggle

for me because I have severe asthma.

I'm still medicated daily for my asthma

and I would have to hide inhalers around certain arenas.

I'd have them all over the place

like have two or three inhalers around the rings.

Not joking, during matches... in the middle of matches

I'd have one under the ring and I'd fall

onto the ring like I was hurt just kind of roll under there

(inhaler puffs) roll back out ready to go.

It wasn't because I was in bad shape,

it was just because I struggled with my asthma.

- You trained differently for each film roll?

- I don't really vary my training all that much

for film roles. I did a little bit

for some of the Marvel stuff because I

really wanted to look the part

and I wanted to invest in the part of Drax.

So you probably notice that I'm the only

Marvel character who is shirtless in every film.

Even when I'm in outer space, I am shirtless.

- What was it like training as a blind

character for the series, See?

- I worked with a blind coach.

He went through certain drills with me

and tried to teach me what it was

like to live life without sight.

You follow without sight. You don't look with your eyes.

You look with your ears, so you're always listening

and you're following your ears

rather than following your eyes.

So and that was one of the thing,

even finding my way around because typically people,

they reach for things like this with their finger tips.

But if you reach for things like this with your finger tips,

and you happen to touch something sharp,

you stab yourself and that's going

to do damage to your finger tips.

So they typically reach like this instead,

they feel like this until they have what they want

and they grab it and pick it up.

That's the most kind of training I've ever done.

I did on Army of the Dead, we did train with some Navy Seals

and we did some military style training.

- What do you consider an intense workout?

- Fight training is the hardest training I've ever done.

It is... it's HIT training while you're getting

punched in the face and it sucks

and I don't think people realize

how grueling a five minute round is.

It's absolutely the most grueling

thing that I've ever done in my life.

To watch these guys and go a five minute round

and going full out, I know what they're going through.

It's just something you have to respect

and admire but I think fight training

is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

- What's your favorite exercise?

- Not that I'm great at it, but I really love squatting.

I'm one of those tall guys, for some reason,

I had this complex when I was younger

but I never wanted to be the guy

with skinny legs. I love squatting, love it.

- What other kinds of training do you do?

- Besides the weight training, which I've done for years,

I've done a little bit of stuff outside. I was obsessed with

cycling for a while when I was much smaller.

Now I look like a gorilla on a bike. I'm just too big

so I typically get my cardio in on an Assault bike

and up stairs with martial arts,

in particular, boxing. So, you want to head up?

- Let's check out your boxing ring.

- So my favorite type of training, which I prefer

over weight training, is actually martial arts.

So I've been doing jiu-jitsu for years now.

So I do that on a regular basis but boxing is my thing.

I love it, man. Best cardio in the world.

I also think I'm not a natural boxer, I'm a natural grabber.

I'm good at it. I'm comfortable with it.

Boxing, I'm just all kinds of awkward

but I've also been obsessed with boxing

since I was a little kid, so I love it.

I love to do it, it takes me to a better place mentally,

gets me in great shape physically.

I think anybody should, especially if you've

got anger issues, or you're just mad at the world,

or just have stress and anxiety,

punch something over and over. Man, there's nothing better.

- What are your fitness goals?

- You know, I hit my stride later in life

and I want to make the most of it

so you know, just stay young and healthy

and rejuvenated and everything that

makes me feel good about myself

but also continues my career.

It's priceless to me but I think

if I just had one goal, I think I'd keep my abs.

- What kind of music do you listen to when you work out?

- I'm super old-school, like a Metallica

or something like that or I'm going old-school hip hop.

I love listening to some Wu Tang,

even Rage Against the Machine,

I love listening to some Rage.

- Do you have any scars? - Yeah, I've a load of scars.

I mean I've had so many surgeries throughout my career

and even some from being a knuckle-head on the street.

I had scars before I went into wresting

and it's because I grew up on the streets.

I grew up fighting. I grew up... I bounced for 13 years.

I've got scars you're looking at that you can't even see.

These that look like dents on my head,

are actually, I have a scar here
