Conor McGregor touts acting ability ahead of big screen debut

Conor McGregor has touted his ability as an actor as the UFC star gears up for his silver screen debut.

McGregor will star in the movie Roadhouse, which is a remake of the classic 1980s cult film which starred Patrick Swayze.

The Notorious spent much of 2022 filming the movie in exotic locations, with the big budget project set to hit screens later this year.

Ahead of his acting debut, Mcgregor has taken to social media to brag about how good an actor he is.

Posting a photo to Instagram of himself on the phone seemingly in conversation, McGregor wrote, "Wanna know how good an actor I am ? There’s no one even on this phone Catch me in “Roadhouse” coming soon.

"Co-starring alongside @jakegyllenhaal and @danielamelchior @roadhousemovie @mgmstudios @amazonstudios @dior #inLouis @lvmh"

For those hoping to see McGregor in the Octagon rather than the cinema, they will have to wait a little longer.

McGregor hasn't fought in the UFC since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in July 2021.

A return to action before the end of 2022 never came to fruition, with the Summer of 2023 now looking like the earliest possible date for a McGregor UFC return.
