Hollywood star Dave Bautista says though he is proud of his accomplishments so far, he is someone who believes in looking ahead in life. Best known to Indian audiences as Drax the Destroyer from Marvel Cinematic Universe`s `Guardian of the Galaxy` series, the professional wrestler-turned-actor has had an interesting career in films. "I`m proud of what I`ve done. But I`m so focused on moving forward and on things that I still am desperate to accomplish that there are not many days that I sit and reflect and look back on what I`ve done and where I`ve come from," the actor told PTI in a Zoom interview from Los Angeles. Bautista, 52, has a lot of films slated for release in the near future, including Zack Snyder`s zombie heist drama `Army of the Dead`, Denis Villeneuve`s `Dune` and Taika Waititi`s `Thor: Love and Thunder`. The actor, however, hopes that one day he has the time to reflect on his journey.
"I want to have my next 5-10 years slated. I want to know what I`m working on. I don`t have an end goal, these are things I want to accomplish... It`s weird like every year or two, when I`ve accomplished what I`ve set out to do, my goals have completely changed. "I think one day when it`s all said and done, possibly I`ll look back, but knowing me, I`ll probably work myself into the ground and never have the opportunity to sit down and even look back because I`ll still be so busy looking forward till the day I die," he added. Bautista began his career as a wrestler in 1999 and gained fame by winning the World Heavyweight Championship four times and the WWE Championship twice.
