“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?

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?
