Conor McGregor's Acting Debut Stuns Co-Star in Road House Remake

In a recent interview with Collider, Daniela Melchior, star of the upcoming Road House remake, spoke highly of her costar Conor McGregor. Despite being a professional mixed martial artist with no prior acting experience, Melchior notes that McGregor approached his first acting job with an impressive level of dedication and enthusiasm. She describes his work ethic as "amazing to watch" and praises his humble and fun approach to the role. While it's still unclear what character McGregor will be playing in the film, fans can look forward to seeing the fighter make his big screen debut.

“He was so excited. It was so fun to see a fully grown man doing something for the first time, and he really looked like a young kid doing something for the first time.”

Everything We Know About The Road House Remake

While the details of McGregor and Melchior's characters in the upcoming Road House remake are still unknown, it has been confirmed that Jake Gyllenhaal will be taking on the lead role. Gyllenhaal's impressive physique was on full display earlier this year as he filmed scenes for the movie at a live UFC event, where he delivered a devastating knockout to his opponent. McGregor himself has spoken highly of Gyllenhaal's patience and professionalism on set, praising the actor for his willingness to work with him.

The production of the Road House remake took place in the Dominican Republic, where official images revealed the cast filming scenes by the ocean. Alongside Gyllenhaal and McGregor, the movie features notable performances from Billy Magnussen, Joaquim de Almeida, Lukas Gage, Jessica Williams, and more. While the film's release date is yet to be announced, if it aims for a fall or winter 2023 release, the trailer could be expected to arrive this summer. Despite many unknowns surrounding the movie, it's clear that McGregor is committing to his first acting role with the same dedication he brings to his UFC career.
