Conor McGregor's dad Tony McGregor films himself shaving head as he opts for new look

Conor McGregor's dad Tony is embracing a shaved head during lockdown and gave his Instagram followers a close-up of his new look today.

Tony, who became a viral sensation for his famous 'coinage' rant back in 2018, filmed himself shaving off his locks while listening to 'The Show Must Go On' by Queen.

The father of the UFC star describes himself as an 'International yachtsman of leisure' in his Instagram bio and often shares photos and videos of his adventures at sea for his 22,000 followers to enjoy.

A clip of Tony complaining about 'coinage' went viral two years ago after he received €17.30 change in coins from purchasing a €2.70 DART ticket with a €20 note.

In a bizarre video, he complained that he had nowhere to put so much coins in his “slim-fit, hand-fitted Hugo Boss suit”.

It prompted someone to set up a GoFundMe account to pay for a Leap Card for the father of three.

Conor donated €5 to the fund, commenting: “F*** sake Da, take me bleedin Lamborghini (lambo) next time!”

Speaking a number of months after the video went viral, the UFC star said: "I'll tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking 'Where’s me ma to get that man’s phone out of his bleedin hands?' Somebody get that man's phone off him!"

Tony is preparing to watch his son's return to the octagon later this month when Conor goes up against Dustin Poirier in Abu Dhabi on January 23.

And he is set to welcome a new grandchild to the family soon with Conor and his fiancee Dee Devlin recently announcing that they are expecting their third child next year.
