Conor McGregor Is Disappointed at Lack of “Credit” During Jake Gyllenhaal’s ‘Road House’

Conor McGregor is all the rage for both right and wrong reasons right now in UFC. While he is craving a fighting date and not getting it from Dana White, he is also a Hollywood star with his latest movie ‘The Road House’. The Hollywood project which is a remake of the action classic is set for a March 21st global release. ‘Mystic Mac’ plays the character of ‘Knox’ who becomes the main physical foil to the protagonist played by Jake Gyllenhaal.

The notorious was a huge part of the action sequences in the film along with other interesting scenes. When asked about the same, he remarked about his grievances. 

Conor McGregor wanted something which he might not have got

While he is not getting a date for the next fight in the Octagon, it seems like he has another desire but this time it was from his Hollywood movie debut. Adam Catterall and ‘The Notorious’ recently discussed his next two fights and ‘Road House’. While talking about the movie, the host asked about the freedom he got during the action scenes. He said, “How much creative license did you get with the fight scenes? Because that’s your world, so I’m sure you could add a little bit that way.”

To this, the two-title champion replied about his desire to have his name on the end credits. He said, “I joked I should have had my name on the end credits as well you know for sure I gave my input on the fight scenes.” ‘The Notorious’ described how he was taken to a warehouse and shown the basics of the action scenes, however, he aced it. He said that he should have got credit for those sequences.

And it’s not the only couple of shots that he aced because he was impressive enough to shoot a nude scene for his first-ever Hollywood movie. The Irishman has taken some huge leaps in the movie and has a scene featuring him n**e from the back. He even revealed how he prepared for it.

McGregor describes his preparation for the nu*de scene

During the South by Southwest Film Festival, he answered this question in a Q and A session. McGregor revealed that he was initially reluctant to do this scene. However, he took up the challenge and was inspired by Bodybuilding champion and Hollywood Megastar Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Austrian Oak appeared n*de in an iconic scene of 1984 ‘Terminator’.

This is where the UFC champion took inspiration from and spoke about how Arnie and he shared a similar entry into mainstream Hollywood. “Arnold’s first debut into the movie game was very similar. Boom, lands down, solid as a rock [in the opening scene of The Terminator], if Arnie did it, and f****** look at his career, I said maybe I’m onto something. I just rocked with it,” McGregor said.

He sees a future with his silver screen debut but there are still serious questions remaining around his return to the Octagon. What do you think about his career curve and where it is going to go next?
