Conor McGregor brands Johnny Depp a 'proper gentleman' as he shares snaps of Rome encounter

Conor McGregor has called Johnny Depp a 'proper gentleman' after the pair met last month in Rome.

McGregor and family were over in the Italian capital for his son's christening and ran into the famous actor.

Depp was spending time in Rome for the Rome Film Festival and was there the same time as the McGregors descended upon Italy.

And sharing snaps of the two, McGregor said: "Myself and John Depp enjoying a fine glass of Proper Twelve on the rocks. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality towards my friends and family Johnny! A proper gentleman"

McGregor shared a number of snaps with the famous actor alongside his partner Dee Devlin and mother Margaret.

And sister Aoife missed the occasion and commented: "In the depps of it I wasn’t there"

While Versatile star Casper Walsh said: "Iconic"

McGregor has announced his return to boxing but it is not the fight many would have expected.

According to comedian Stevo Timothy, McGregor has agreed to fight at his December charity fight night in a wheelchair boxing match.

The fight night is planned to go down at an unconfirmed December date, will be in aid of the Irish Wheelchair Association and will also see organiser Timothy take on Irish Olympic medallist Paddy Barnes in a wheelchair boxing match.

Taking to social media, Timothy confirmed: "So Conor McGregor just made contact. He'll be fighting in a homecoming fight this December. In a wheelchair!".
