His paternal grandpa supported the family by working as a barber, cab driver, and in the military in the Philippines. He has a lesbian mother.
Before he turned nine years old, three killings had taken place on his front lawn, according to Bautista, who has claimed to have lived in poverty and had a difficult upbringing. He was stealing automobiles at the tender age of 13. By the age of 17, he had cut off contact with his parents and was on his own. Afterwards, he declared, “I am proud of my parents. They are decent, trustworthy, and diligent people. They instilled in me the importance of working hard.
He worked as a bouncer at a nightclub before being taken into custody following a fight that left two patrons hurt, one of whom was rendered unconscious. He received a probationary period of one year following a trial. Prior to pursing a career in bodybuilding, he also worked as a lifeguard, which he attributes with saving his life. He claimed that after having a breakdown over the embarrassment he felt for asking a coworker for a loan so he could buy Christmas presents for his kids, he made the decision to change his life and turn to wrestling.
Bautista used the ring name “Batista,” with a different spelling, throughout his career in professional wrestling. He switched back to acting. He resumed using his name’s original spelling as an actor, going by the name Dave Bautista.
