Actor Dave Bautista got serious about covering up his Manny Pacquiao logo team tattoo.
In a TikTok video posted by GQ, Dave shared one of his tattoo cover-ups.
"It used to be a team logo," Dave said in a clip shared to TikTok. "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," he added.
The 53-year-old former professional wrestler became an ally of the LGBT community when his mother came out as lesbian.
"So, I had a huge issue with it. It's a personal issue with me. My mom's a lesbian. And I just could no longer call him a friend. So, I had it covered up with this," Bautista added, displaying the updated ink of a woman with a sugar skull face painting.
During his interview with TV5 in 2016, the politician-boxer faced a lot of backlash after making harsh comments about gay people.
"It's common sense. The animals are better. They know how to distinguish male from female," Pacquiao added. "If we approve male on male, female on female, then man is worse than animals.''
Although he apologized for his statement in the end, Pacquiao still believes that same-sex marriage is forbidden.
