I&#x27;m still learning on the job very much.&quot;He added: &quot;But everything, all my emotion I draw from experiences in my life and a lot of them have been unpleasant experiences. A lot of my emotions is real.&quot;The actor first worked with Villeneuve in another epic film, “Blade Runner 2049,” where critics took immediate notice of his capabilities as an actor.On dealing with being underestimated in acting, coming from a career in wrestling, Bautista said he preferred to face it head on.&quot;I did not push to the side, I was very aware of it,&quot; he recalled. &quot;I kind of knew that, coming into this business, that people were going to see me in a certain box and I had to force my way out of that box.&quot;Bautista also recognized that people began to take chances on him after starring in Marvel&#x27;s &quot;Guardians of the Galaxy&quot; and in &quot;Blade Runner.&quot;He also shared that he still feels nervous on film sets, but has found comfort in knowing that he does not feel alone in that way.&quot;It makes me feel like it&#x27;s okay to be self-conscious,&quot; said Bautista. &quot;I hate to say this, because it sounds awful but I&#x27;m really happy when I see other actors that are also nervous. Or just straight out tell you, ’It just takes me a while. I got first-day jitters.’&quot;
