Dave Bautista has revealed an unusually clever clause he insists on having in all of his movie contracts.

I hope one day this could be added to mine.

The WWE legend, 56, was interviewed by Men’s Health last year where he spoke about his non-negotiables.

Opening up about his diet in preparation for his role in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, he said: “It’s actually in my contract that I have to eat no less than every four hours.”

The ex bodybuilder, who seems to always be in incredible shape, was eating mainly a plant-based diet with the addition of fish a few times a week.

“In between those meals if I get hungry, I typically do an almond butter and banana, or a vegan, gluten-free grilled cheese is my favourite go-to,” he added.

Bautista called the gym his 'sanctuary' and that he 'comes here for peace of mind'.

“It’s therapeutic for me,” he said.

Although the actor shocked fans last year after undergoing dramatic weight loss for his role in The Killer's Game.

Directed by J.J. Perry, the action-comedy is based on Jay Bonansinga's 1997 novel of the same name.

Bautista stars as a veteran hitman who, after a misdiagnosis of a terminal illness, places a hit on himself to secure an insurance payout for his girlfriend, Maize Barkley (Sofia Boutella).

When he find out he's in perfect health, Joe has to survive the bombardment of assassination attempts.

The film - which is now available to watch digitally - also stars Terry Crews, Scott Adkins and Ben Kingsley.

In an interview, he told Chris Van Vliet that he didn't just cut the weight for roles, but simply because he 'just got fat' and 'uncomfortably big' for his role in Knock at the Cabin.

Bautista said: "Then I noticed the more I trimmed down the better I felt, and I also noticed the more I trimmed down the better I looked on camera, the better I looked next to other actors.

"Because typically, even at this weight it's weird because people think, like, for me people say 'god, you're skinny'.

"I even saw online some people are worried about my health and when I say it out loud to people 'I'm 6'4, 240lbs', it sounds like when you say that out loud I'm a big person.

"But to me because people have seen me so much bigger over the years they think I'm like anorexic, but I'm just a large human being.

"So at 6'4, 240lbs next to your typical actor I look like a gorilla and it's distracting."
