Conor McGregor makes “highest-paid actor” boast after filming first movie

McGregor is currently out of fighting action after breaking his leg last year, but is currently undertaking an acting role in filming a remake of Hollywood classic ‘Road House’

Conor McGregor has claimed he is the “highest-paid actor” after filming for his first acting role in a Hollywood movie.

McGregor is currently stepping up his training ahead of a potential UFC comeback in 2023, after breaking his leg in a second consecutive defeat to Dustin Poirier last July. Alonside his rehabilitation programme, McGregor has landed his first acting role in a remake of Hollywood classic ‘ Road House’ alongside Golden Globe winner Jake Gyllenhaal.

The Irishman has recently been filming for the movie in the Dominican Republic and has kept fans amused while documenting his new exploit on social media. He recently added a new boast on his Twitter account before later deleting the tweet, writing: “I’m the highest-paid first-time actor of all time. Add that to the rest of my accolades.”

He later claimed that he felt he deserved the financial reward after performing some tricky stunts for himself, adding: “I’m still recovering. I done all my stunts for this. I didn’t think the stunt double we had looked like me so I wouldn’t have him used. To my detriment. It was hard work.”
