DAVE BAUTISTA ‘PROUD SONOF A LESBIAN’

-

Wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista (aka Batista) expressed his support for the LGBT community once again, after a fan on Twitter thanked him for being a straight ally.

The “Guardians of the Galaxy” actor enthusiast­ically responded: “Obviously, no [thanks] necessary, but I appreciate the acknowledg­ment. Proud son of a lesbian—and anyone who has [an] issue with that can s**k my b***s!”

His mom, Donna Raye, raised him by herself when he was a kid. He eventually lived with his Filipino father when he was in his teens.

It wasn’t the first time that the former WWE wrestler defended gay people. He spoke against Filipino boxer-turned-senator Manny Pacquiao in February 2016, when the latter made controvers­ial statements that offended LGBT people in the Philippine­s and in other countries.

Bautista told TMZ then: “My mom’s a lesbian, So I don’t f**king take that sh*t!”

From ‘Wimpy’ to vocally inventive

Zachary Gordon played the titular character, Greg Heffley, in three “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” movies from 2010 to 2012. Now 19, he’s one of the voice talents of the documentar­y “The Gettysburg Address,” alongside Matthew Broderick, Victor Garber and Cary Elwes.

Last year, Gordon appeared in the TV series, “Dead of Summer,” and lent his voice to a character in “Star Wars Rebels.” His previous voice actor credits include “Family Guy,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold” and “Madagascar 2.”
