Dave Bautista Claims He Covered Manny Pacquiao Tattoo Because the Boxer Is an Extreme Homophobe

Manny made his homophobic statement during a 2016 interview on Filipino station TV5 by saying that ‘the animals are better’ because ‘they know how to distinguish male from female.’

AceShowbizDave Bautista has his full support for the LGBTQ+ community. In a new interview, the “Glass Onion” actor revealed that he has covered a tattoo of Manny Pacquiao’s team logo because he thinks the Filipino boxing champ is an “extreme homophobe.”

“It used to be a team logo,” the 53-year-old said in a TikTok video shared by GQ. “I was part of a team of a person I considered a friend and someone I really looked up to. And then, he later came out publicly with some anti-gay statements and turned out to be an extreme homophobe.”

“So, I had a huge issue with it. It’s a personal issue with me, my mom’s a lesbian,” the Drax the Destroyer depicter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe added while displaying the updated ink of a woman with a sugar skull face painting. “And I just could no longer call him a friend. So, I had it covered up with this.”

Manny made his homophobic statement during a 2016 interview on Filipino station TV5. “It’s common sense,” he said at the time. “The animals are better. They know how to distinguish male from female… If we approve [of] male on male, female on female, then man is worse than animals.”
