‘The Notorious’ and his entertaining behavior usually get much applause from fans. His classical insults, anecdotes, and many callouts usually hit home for his fans, but sometimes, even fans are taken aback when Conor McGregor behaves in an unpredictable manner.

In a recent turn of events, McGregor was joined by his ‘Road House’ co-star Jake Gyllenhaal when the two sat down for an interview with Sport Illustrated. The pair faced several questions about the film itself and one of the questions was about McGregor’s experience working with the H0llywood icon.

“Jake’s a consummate professional, 75 movies made, you know, I’m blessed, to have entered into the movie alongside him.” McGregor said. “He was patient with me, he gave me guidance, and I just took it. You know, we have a good rapport on set. He has 75 movies made, I have 75 barfights made and that’s it, we had a good back and forth.” A perfectly normal response right?

Except, fans noticed something off-putting about the Irishman throughout the interview and especially as he answered the question. Conor McGregor looked disturbed, he was constantly shrugging his shoulders and his speech was paced in a way that only added to the strange nature of his behavior. So, what is the fans’ verdict?
