Conor McGregor has plenty of enemies inside the Octagon, but he reckons he has made plenty in Hollywood, too.
The Irish mixed martial artist made his acting debut in the remake of Road House, starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
McGregor recently revealed that he had been offered numerous opportunities to appear in movies before, and after ghosting some directors, he reckons he might not be popular in Tinseltown.
"I had turned down a good few roles in my time on the climb," he told Total Film.
"I’ve had directors show up at fight camp, really beautiful directors doing really top-end movies… And over and over, they’d come to me, and I always turned them down… I’d leave people a little high and dry. I probably have a few enemies out there that I don’t really know of because I had said, 'I might do it.'"
Even though he isn't used to acting, McGregor is certainly a born performer, as you can see by his charisma when fighting and in interviews.
And, it seems he had a great time making Road House.
"I was just in awe of it all, to be honest with you, the whole process," he continued.
"I didn’t know how I was going to take to it. I didn’t know whether I was going to like it, to be honest. I’m a fighting man – that’s my bread and butter. It’s where I come from… I’m not an actor, but I’m show business. That was my vibe to it. I felt that. I enjoyed every second of it."
