“Road House was exactly what I anticipated” – Fans and Conor McGregor react to Irishman’s debut movie amassing record breaking views

The debut of Conor McGregor in ‘Road House’ is setting new streaming records.

Despite breaking his leg in a fight against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, ‘The Notorious’ remains one of the most charismatic figures in combat sports, which makes him a natural fit for the big screen. With some extra time on his hands, McGregor recently signed a deal to star in a remake of the 1989 classic film ‘Road House’.

Despite receiving average to positive reviews, the film, which stars McGregor and Jake Gyllenhaal, was finally released at the end of last month. Despite the mixed reviews, the film appears to be performing exceptionally well in terms of viewership.

Just recently, Amazon Prime revealed that 50 million viewers worldwide have already watched McGregor’s first film performance. This achievement has made it the highest-viewed Amazon-exclusive movie to date. As the film has only been released for two weeks, it is expected that this number will continue to increase.

On X, the movie sparked a variety of reactions from fans. While some expressed their dislike for the film, others showered it with praise. One fan even made a humorous comment:

“Road House was exactly what I anticipated. Conor plays himself very well”

What Are Conor McGregor’s Future Acting Plans Following Road House?

Despite receiving praise for his role in ‘Road House’, Conor McGregor will not be appearing in many films in the future.

Despite the movie’s release, ‘The Notorious’ has openly expressed his lack of interest in resuming his acting career. During a recent interview with TNT Sports, McGregor shared his thoughts on his future in the film industry.

During the interview, McGregor acknowledged that there are many potential films that could be made about his life. However, he expressed little interest in pursuing acting roles in the future. Instead, he expressed a desire to focus on returning to the octagon.

The former two-weight UFC champion stated in the interview:

“I feel like I could actually play any role on planet Earth because I feel my life is so removed from reality. Nobody knows me, nobody really knows me… But I don’t actually fancy it. That’s the thing, I’m not really into it, to be honest. It’s a bit weird to me. Just get me back in that octagon.”
