Unexpected Connections
So, even with his home nearly full, Bautista made the decision to welcome the white puppy into his family. He asked Pratt to introduce him to his co-star—whose identity remained unknown to the Dune star at that time. Pratt eventually revealed that it was Millie Bobby Brown. Bautista, who adopted Talulah over a year ago, enjoys sharing this heartwarming story with others.
Millie Bobby Brown's Role in Dave Bautista's Talulah Adoption
Although Bautista admitted to never meeting Brown face-to-face, he expressed his gratitude to her for facilitating the adoption when he initially welcomed Talulah in February last year. The actor announced the pit bull's adoption through an Instagram post, showcasing several snapshots of the pup, including a family portrait with Talulah, Bautista, and his three other dogs.
The actor is currently basking in the success of Dune Part 2. With a remarkable $32 million opening day haul, stellar reviews, and anticipation for its North American debut grossing around $80 million, Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two, co-written by Jon Spaihts, emerges as the first blockbuster of 2024.
