Why Removing Dave Bautista’s Makeup is Awkward

While Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, and Bradley Cooper have an easy time after filming, Dave Bautista has to make his way through many layers of full-body makeup. Luckily, the makeup team on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 figured out a quicker and less painful way to remove his makeup than before. According to an interview with CinemaBlend, Bautista said:

“They stick me in a sauna at the end of the day. They literally have to melt it off of me, so that was a thing. Because during the test, they found out, it’s so abrasive, they literally had to scrub it off of me. So after two days, my skin was like hamburger, so they came up with the sauna thing.”

Bautista isn’t completely alone in the makeup-removal department. Zoe Saldana, Michael Rooker, and Karen Gillan all where multiple layers, but it seems Bautista is the only one who removes his via sauna. Finishing his story, Bautista recounted how strange it would look to have three guys coming in to “attack” him in order to scrub the makeup off, but there is lots of talk about football and fighting while they’re in there.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits theatres May 5th.
