Actor/pro wrestler Dave Bautista, who is best-known for playing Drax the Destroyer in the Guardians Of The Galaxy and Avengers films, is endorsing Democratic candidate Joe Biden for president.

Dave, a frequent critic of Trump on Twitter, said there was a key difference between Biden and the current US leader: “toughness”.

“It’s easy to lie to people. It’s easy to bully people,” Dave said, referring to Trump. “That does not make you a tough guy.”

Biden, he said, will tell people the truth. Dave also praised Biden’s plan to lead the country out of the coronavirus pandemic.

“A leader is someone who can unite people, who takes responsibility,” the actor said. “That’s toughness. That is Joe Biden.”

In addition to acting, Dave was formerly a champ in the WWE, where he performed under the name Batista.

He was set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020, but the ceremony was put on hold due to the pandemic.

However, over the summer, Dave gave fans a glimpse of how he would’ve dressed for the occasion had it taken place:

Well this would’ve been my @wwe #HOF tux but now it’s going to be my @dunemovie red carpet tux. Hopefully🙏🏼Anyway!! One way or another this bad boy is getting some flash bulb attention cuz it’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥 can’t do anything about the gorilla in it.😂 It is what it is🤷🏻♂️#DreamChaser pic.twitter.com/5vt3kOkoJu

At the time of his tweet, Dune was set for a 2020 release, although this has since been pushed back to the autumn of 2021.

Looks like he will need to find another event for the tux...
