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.
