The movie that “The Notorious” is making his debut in is an X-rated movie. And according to multiple reports, the former UFC double champion has a nude scene in the film. “Road House” being his first movie, the 22-6 fighter looks to be concerned about having his mother watching those scenes.

During an exclusive interview with Good Morning Britain, when asked about what he felt about the movie, he said “I was nervous. I’m still a bit nervous to be honest, because, you know, my mother has yet to see the film as you’re gonna see the film this evening. And, you know, there’s a couple of raunchy scenes in it as well. So, yeah, and I didn’t let her know any of that. So, you know, it was an amazing experience a lot of hard work.”

Despite his mild nervousness about his mother watching the scenes, Conor McGregor has handled his debut in the movie industry with absolute class. He claimed that it was a humbling experience, taking his experience as a novice. However, he did claim that he took inspiration from a particular blockbuster star for his movie.

Conor McGregor, being a fighting man, wasn’t too thrilled with joining the movie industry in the past. However, given his injury and the opportunity to act in a remake of a Patrick Swayze film, it felt right to get into the film industry. McGregor, however, seems to have taken his inspiration for his n*de scene from the Terminator star, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Conor McGregor later on in the same interview said, “Arnold’s first debut into the movie game was very similar. Boom, lands down, solid as a rock, if Arnie done it, and f****** look at his career, I said maybe I’m onto something. I just rocked with it.”
