You must not know much about Hollywood. That film, there is no way it will be completed and released in time for then. It will be the Oscars at start of 2024 before we get to see Conor accepting the golden gong.
I’d imagine his role will be very very minor, like a thug in a bar that hits an old man or something and Jake gylenhall steps in blah blah. He’ll have his scenes done in a day
Its a leading role apparently, my best guess from seen the original is he plays the gang boss of the town. It a straight to Prime/Netflix thing anyway so will be inevitably shite.
I hope the Hollywood scriptwriters include the line for him - “That’s a bleedin rapid timepiece ya got ‘dere bud ‘were dya geh it??”
Acting is an interesting road to go down, though I'm sceptical whether Conor has any ability in that area. Ok he can put on a show, has a good sense of humour, and is very entertaining but acting requires the ability to come across naturally which would I don't think we've ever seen from Conor, but I guess some formal training would be acquired.
I think we will see a more mellow Conor as he ages, and I think acting could humble him a bit, could be the exact thing he needs to emotionally grow in the future.
We've seen Conor act before............ Oscars here we come!
I don't think playing yourself actually qualifies as acting!!
It seems even that is somewhat unnatural
Didn't Cathal Pendred try his hand at acting as well.
It's not the playing-himself part that doesn't qualify the above as acting.
If you can be so unnatural when your only job is to just be yourself........... cant wait to see him chewing the scenery with Donnie Darko!
I wonder how many bottles of Proper Muck will be placed in the film.
He's been acting the prick for years so the film will be a doddle for him.
I agree Conor will probably play a baddie in this film, and I think it will stand up there with the other great film baddies like Marlon Brando in The Godfather, Daniel Day Lewis in There will be blood, and Christopher Waltz in Inglorious Basterds.
Proper muck 🤣
He was in an episode of Ray Donovan. Look, I'm not going to say he was bad, but it he'd have more success in kickboxing.
well seeing as he is an elite level striker of course he would have more success.... jaysus ! have you not heard of the flying fists of pendred.
I hear they're so fast he can throw 4 jabs and it looks like one very mediocre strike. And while it appears to do no damage whatsoever to his opponent, there's a savage delayed reaction an hour or two later.
Some good training sessions being put in around the Belaric’s in between all the various big birthday celebrations and benders. Looks like a return announcement isn’t too far off.
Those are always the best training sessions.
they need to get roddy and the boys back over to the mac mansion in vegas to really get focused again on training
Yea surround him with more yes men. McGregor isn’t top tier anymore. He’s a has been
Its done & its over, He could be 35 before he fights again his prime years in MMA where completed wasted post Eddie which will be nearly be 7 years ago when he fights again ,Yes 7 years 2016 to 2203
He'll be back to old, 1 peg leg, 2 weight divisions to heavy ( FW Is his best fighting weigh) , stiff as aboard ,Aura gone , willingness to get true proper camp is gone let alone to go through the dark parts of a fight,
Its been over for a while & he knows it ,
Not to mention his potential opponents are the exact opposite of all that.
If it shows one thing its that no matter how head strong people are, money changes things. He said it countless times 'I've been told, don't neglect your training'. He swore he wouldn't fall into that trap, and he did, he fell harder than most. He's posting picture of himself training and beating up sparring partners, but we all know these lads aren't elite level, they are body bags for him to look good. His fight against Cerrone was pathetic, poor Don was washed up and knocked out before he stepped into the ring. Poirier showed how much he had grown since there first contest. Drink and drugs destroy fitness levels, he'll never win a belt and I doubt he'd compete with anyone ranked.
Now we can all sit back and watch Ian Garry do the same thing. Except Garry has gone to the UFC earlier and isn't as polished as Mcg was. He become too big for his boots before he'd even won the cage warriors belt. Best thing TK and CF did was to walk away from him, it will hurt them the potential money they could have made, but at least they had a back bone, not like 'Coach' Kavanagh who would corner McGregor in a brawl in Mount joy if the commission was paid.
oh, and Cathal Pendred seems like a really decent fella, not a great fighter (especially in the UFC) but one of the cringiest actors ever. I stopped watching Ray Donovan for fear of seeing his McGregor impression again, and the few other things he was in nearly made me hide behind the sofa.
Can I assume we've all seen that of ALL of the 'active' UFC fighters (not signed after August 1), that in 2022 Conor McGregor is the only to have not been tested by USADA?
UFC paying them a wedge/telling them to leave him alone?
Not a good look either way
Masvidal is the only fight that makes sense and would sell well, he'll be savaged in the lightweight division as well. Wasted his prime years in MMA.
Mad that he could be 35 the next time he fights.
He made money that has set him and his family up for life beyond his MMA career. He wasted nothing
From a sporting perspective he wasted a lot. If you'd been told the night of the Alvarez fight how little he'd fight in the following six years and how poor the results would be there's no other way of looking at it than a waste and a huge disappointment. But yeah.. He's very rich alright.
Probably on the juice for his new movie
His career is always going to be "what could have been". Of course he achieved a lot, but he stopped pushing during his prime years. He could have been in the GOAT discussion, but we'll never know now.
