Dave Bautista, who plays Drax in the Marvel movies, recently opened up about his close bond with Josh Brolin, who portrays Thanos in the franchise [e7f3a691]. Despite their characters being at odds on screen, Bautista admitted that Brolin is his 'huge man crush' and spoke highly of him as both a performer and a person. The two actors developed a strong connection while working together at Marvel Studios, engaging in intimate conversations that deepened their friendship. Bautista, known for his muscular physique, expressed his admiration for Brolin openly and positively.
In a recent interview, Brolin shared his experience of sharing the red carpet with his younger, fashionable co-stars Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh, and Zendaya [d751bac0]. Brolin joked about feeling a little left out and compared himself to being at a punk gig while his co-stars were doing a fashion show. He acknowledged that nobody cares about what he wears unless he shows up in a tutu and a leopard-skin thong. Despite not having a wardrobe to rival Chalamet's iconic red carpet looks, Brolin has a fondness for his co-stars and has co-authored a coffee-table book about Dune with the film's director of photography. Brolin also mentioned that his face looks like it was run over by a truck and that he enjoys geeking out with his socially inept co-stars.
The duo will reunite in the upcoming film 'Dune: Part Two,' where Bautista will reprise his role as Rabban Harkonnen alongside Brolin [e7f3a691]. 'Dune: Part Two,' one of the most-anticipated movies of the year, has been released, marking the end of the promotional tour [d751bac0].
