We know, we know, the big Marvel tree creature is Groot. But we recently learned (because we accidentally fell down an IMDb rabbit hole last week) that there was actually a real, human Groot on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy. 

Presenting... Rob de Groot:

Mr. Groot was the stunt double for Dave Bautista (Drax the Destroyer).

Here's a photo of the two of them in full body paint.

Happy Tuesday/Grootsday!
