Conor McGregor is the man of the hour. While the UFC star is still yet to step back inside the ring since his 2021 shin break, it’s his acting debut that’s doing rounds on the internet. Earlier last year, it was revealed that ‘The Notorious’ will be a big part of Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal’s next movie.

The said film is none other than Road House, a remake of the 1989 movie starring the likes of Kelly Lynch and Patrick Swayze. The story is a modern-day reimagining of the same old story in that there’s a Road House, a bar and club of sorts that needs protecting from the local mafia.

And of course, who better the hire than a former UFC fighter? Interestingly, the UFC fighter, John Dalton is played by Gyllenhaal while McGregor, the actual fighter, plays the bad guy. This role suits ‘The Notorious’ quite well given that he’s the bad guy in the UFC too.

However, his film debut comes earlier than his return to the cage. In recent times, McGregor put up posters of him and Gyllenhaal on his social media handles promoting the film. These covers made for Total Film are exciting and show interesting shots of all the action happening.

“Roadhouse” starring myself and Jake Gyllenhaal, out March 21st” Conor McGregor wrote in his X post. Clearly, he’s excited for his debut but perhaps even more excited are the fans of the Irishman who have followed his career from the get go. Here are their reactions.

Clearly, Conor McGregor still boasts a large and powerful fanbase to back him up. Now the question is, will the film be as big of a hit as his Octagon performances?
