Jake Gyllenhaal appreciated the mindset Conor McGregor brought onto the set of “Road House.”
McGregor, a former two-division UFC champion, is set to appear in his most extensive on-screen acting role to date when the remake of the 1989 cult classic debuts March 21 on Prime Video.
“The Notorious” has done some acting work in the past, but it hasn’t gone much further than commercials or bits of promotional material. He is one of the featured characters in “Road House,” serving as a primary antagonist named Knox, who is in conflict with Gyllenhaal’s lead character, Elwood Dalton, for the majority of the movie.
