Batista said in 2019 while doing an interview with the Tampa Bay Times that he hates being compared to The Rock or Cena.
“Would I consider him a great actor? F— no,” Batista said of The Rock. “I want good roles. I don’t care about Fast and Furious or Bumblebee. That’s not the kind of stardom I want. I want to be in Dune. I want to work with Denis Villeneuve, Sam Mendes and Jodie Foster. I want to work with Academy Award winners. I’m proud to be a character actor. I want that respect and credibility and education.
“Do not compare me to The Rock or John Cena. Those guys are wrestlers who became movie stars. I’m … something else. I was a wrestler. Now, I’m an actor.”
