Everyone is saying Conor McGregor looks exactly like this Hollywood star

Conor McGregor is looking a little different these days and many fans have compared him to a major Hollywood star.

The UFC fighter has been sharing photos of his family enjoying dinner in his Crumlin pub The Black Forge Inn. McGregor posted photos with his children and partner Dee Devlin, and fans couldn't help but notice his new look.

The Irish sports star shaved his beard back in October for Halloween, however the cleaner facial hair is now accompanied by a new hair style and more muscular, wider frame.

While the bouncy new hair may not be too dramatic (perhaps he just bought a new hairdryer), fans thought bulky McGregor looked very different in photos and videos, with many saying he now looks like Hollywood star Tom Hardy.

However, he is currently said to be on the comeback trail and is planning to return at welterweight, having bulked up to over 195lb during his time away from the octagon.
