#GMB #connormcgregor
this is the first Conor interview ive watched in a while where he genuinely seems like the Conor of old, not off his face on drugs, its good to see.. wish him well & this movie looks good.
someone didn't see him at the premiere
Well... it was only a couple of days ago he was totally off his face , so... lool.
I tell ya whats of his face is his eyebrows 😂
Totally agree
Tbh I also think he looks younger
One of the best interviews Conor’s done in ages
Conor as Terminator, just imagine!
Imagine him in the next TLOTR as Frodos fighting brother that Frodo never knew about?! Wow Im sold already!
Wow that be incredible , that’s a great idea
Genuinely one of the best interviews ive ever seen of conor and thats full credit to Richard, he was fantastic. Very easy going and free which made it a conversation not just an interview
honestly, one of the best Mcgregor interviews ive seen in a long time,.
Conor McGregor is going to singlehandedly multiply the box office of the movie 100%, guy is a shameless expert promoter of anything he does (plus the undeniable charisma).
Hope they got your paypal address right. #$hillpost
@@beejj6190 he's not wrong
No box office. It’s going straight to prime
@@beejj6190 not everyone is a miserable Mcgregor hater like your self buddy.
@@beejj6190I got what you talking about but you don't need to project your anger and disaffection around. Look at yourself more.
Same lesson Mike Tyson learned later in life. "I just want my kids to be happy". Family is a big part of happiness. 🙂
10000%
Happiness comes from within you regardless of external things
Don't put that convicted.... In the same league as conor
Probably the only interview of conor where he's just chilled and comes across like a nice person
Almost in tears with passion talking about his family, respect 💪❤
Tad of an overreaction
He cheats constantly
Respect a man who is always cheating. Give me a break!
@@matrix35 She clearly doesn’t mind. He’s not quiet about it. They’re two consenting adults, and she’s the one sitting in the mansion at the end of the day. A lot of women are willing to make that compromise.
Respect to McGregor, making sure his jacket vibes with the lamp shade... Always pushing the boundaries!
This is the least coked up I've seen him in years - impressive!
T'was a bit of Addy, never hurt no one.
This is him,not the character from ufc. He did what he had to to build a brand.
What 😂 he's been coked up every month
don't be fooled by appearances, that is pretty much all show
I have a feeling its because this was shot in the morning time, he didnt have time to juice up if u know what i mean
Great to see Conor being his authentic self again. Such an inspiration! Healthy, happy & full of life. The Mac is back😎
This is not authentic Conor. He doesn’t speak like that in his every day life. He’s changing his voice and acting for fans to understand him. When he speaks in his normal vernacular people think he’s coked up.
Great interview, look forward to watching the film
Love conor hes had his ups and downs but he inspired a generation and your seeing that coming through in the ufc now. A legend of the fight game
Clean Conor is an inspirational being!
Conor mcgregor is humble,down to earth person when he was Sober,can’t wait for the movie
A lion is a pleasant animal when it's not hungry
@@Thepogues-d3jyeah hopefully he fed beforehand so wont be nasty trying to eat anyone
Dustin humbled him and ruined his life
huh how ?
3:05 that’s the first time I’ve seen Conor genuinely laugh in years. He used to laugh and joke around all the time.. so that was quite nice to see.
Jesus Christ.
@@MrNiss Cheese and rice.
Reminds me of the Conor of old, but with the softness of a father's love. Great! 🎉
“I’m not sure about Knox’s net worth”
This man is a legend 😂
I love how he remembered the names of his acting coaches - he's a loyal guy
Something great about Conor in all his interviews he's building other people up. In this one giving his acting coaches shoutouts, just saw another where he gave the stunt directors shoutouts. Throughout his career he was always promoting his coaches work and trying to get opportunities for his teammates as well.
Exactly. He's dropping names. Which is a sure sign of appreciation
First time seeing this interviewer. Did a great job 👏
This is the Conor we all love. ❤
It’s actually great to see him really give Dee the praise she deserves because like he said she has been there from day one since they were teenagers. Brilliant to hear the two are soon to be married- congrats brother.
This is connor back to his old self. Love his honesty in this. He won't fight again i feel.
If this movie gets a good reception he may move on to action films, which he should, new life new career
This is Conor being professional during the promotional run for the movie, because he has to. Not saying he’s not a professional, he most definitely is in a lot of ways, but he is also just a normal flawed human like the rest of us.
Conor stated literally a day or two ago that as much as he’s enjoyed making this movie, he wants to now regroup with his team and get fight ready. He also has 2 fights left on his UFC contract, so we will see him fight again. The question is when, because the Chandler fight is slated for 29th June but there is no actual contractual agreements yet.
This man is a star 🌟 already.
Great interview
All interviewers need to get Conor at 9am in the morning when hes still mellow.
Measure the man by how he talks about his kids and family. Incredible.
and his dolley throws. Those things are heavyyyyyyy
God he carried himself so well in this interview , sharp and on point , very genuine
Conor should keep doing movies and play himself in his own biopic.
Good to see Conor looking and sounding very healthy.
We all know he let loose after this impeccable acting 😅
@@GamerFrisco 8 ball in his pocket
4:30 i think Conor is refering to Young Blood - 1986 (great film)
Fantastic interview thanks both
When Conor is his real self and is not influenced by alcohol or other substances, he is so much more likeable, it’s instant.
Nah his coked up rampages are hilarious, and actually more representative of the uk
Line delivery on “ there’s something wrong with you… “me too” that beat was solid . Good start man , i challenge everyone to see it again , it’s the scene of the movie. One beat.
Great interview brother 💪
You're no bad guy to me.. Is that actually your smile, Conor? Same.
This is a really good natural interview.
He’s so happy and bubbly. Surprisingly charming very good to see. Love his mothers reflection and he’s overall approach, he fatherhood & family comments are brilliant 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Solid interview! Class to see
What an amazing interview. He looked a little choked up talking after he worries about his family being away from him. Conor is an amazing man in so many realms but especially as a father.
Love the positive vibes
Great interview !
That top angle camera is bothering me
I was surprised about this interview and how modest Connor is coming over. After actually a more crazy first impression I had about this guy (I never followed him), but this interview with him is very sympathetic.
… Just saw another one (which was done after he made the movie) where he was obviously having spasms from drugs (?) during the interview and not being sober - a total different guy there. Then one with his daughter on his arms again more like in this one being a business man. He seems to have very different faces. So the role fit seemingly part of his character. That’s why he played it so well and it was truly convincing.
Never seen Conor nervous before. Amazing when you take someone out of their familiar role how they change.
I admit I am not as familiar with him, but he did an outstanding job in the movie. From the very first scene he nailed it!
Love this best interview he's done in ages, good to see!! He looks so healthy and happy!! 🍀 ☘️
This interview brings me back…will never forget how much 2013-2017 Conor inspired me and still does.
Here he is 👍👍🙏🙏 the connor i like to see .... realxed and on the ball ....
18:05 I’m sure Dee loved the fact that his PR woman decided to randomly interrupt the interview to have him promote his whiskey for the 17 millionth time right as he was talking marriage and what she means to him…
Hi from Canada. I just watch the roadhouse last night. Gotta say, Mr Mcgregor did a fantastic job! Really look forward to seeing more, onwards and upwards on the big screen! The core action heroes are all old. Now is your time dude. Be choosy on the roles taken to ensure it aligns with the persona you want to project for the next 2 decades. 😉. Turn the page, stay outta the ring and set sights and focus on the big screen. IMHO
Everyone loves it when Connor is level headed and in control
The Humility of Conor Mcgregor. That's Humbling within one's self.
It's good to see Conor not playing his "Notorious" persona and just being himself for the first time in a long time.
He always the same
This was best McGregor interview in years.
McGregor stole the show. Loved the movie despite going in feeling like Patrick Swayze's legacy was being slighted. McGregor outshined even Jake Gyllenhaal (spelling?). I don't follow professional fighting, but now I'm a fan based on his acting alone. Brilliant work! :0)
He looks like Conor again ❤
Always looks the same
first time watching Mcgregor in an interview and was impressed that he was such a nice guy
Connor!! Please make more movies! I think you will genuinely be one of the favorite bad guys of 2024! I really like his persona and energy. Even if he's never had any training, he did a great job. I loved his character on Roadhouse! Plus I'm sure he takes care of the actors actors in these scenes. After all he's a professional and know, how far he can go. Connor, respect. Hope to see you on more movies. It's about time for a new bad guy! Lol ❤❤❤
R u doing a zombie movie also? 😂😂
😂 man got set up
He was excellent in Road House. Honestly, just as good as anyone else in the film.
Well he pretty much played himself 😂
Was it better than Shawshank Redemption?
@@LegendaryJ17 yes
What a great interview. Good job
Conor seems like his old self and a lot more grounded, he was clearly on TRT for the Movie but looks much slimmer and softer now(More Natural) he looks good.
Hope to see him in the octagon this year!
Dana should do McGregor and Jon Jones same card
Waste… spread their appeal
the amount of coke in that press conference would be insane gotta do it in mexico
Always like to see a good interview with Ray Whinstone !!
It's a phenomenal beverage 😂 What a geeze
I like this version of Conor.
The Irish are born actors. .. Conor is a natural actor.
The movie was awesome, Conor did a great job and this interview is truly genuine and I enjoyed watching it ❤
You sound sol humble and real, I love it❤!
He was defiantly the cherry on top of the movie, he just highlighted a fun old school style action movie.
Finally a reason to like Conor McGregor. Stay in movie business
Fantastic interview
I hope Conor acts more in the future
Conor is such a one in a life time Person Like Mohammed Ali. He changened the Game in such a increadibel way. Conor u are Born for this!
I forget how articulate Conor is. Could listen to him talk all fookin day
Sober as a priest on Sunday.
He’s hanging with his mom tonight, on his best behavior 😉
You did a great job Coner. I love the original and i can honestly say I really enjoyed this movie. I've watched it 4 times .
Good interview. Good feeling.
This movie was fun to watch. Jake is always amazing, he always gives 100% in each role. Conor was good too. The whole cast had great chemistry. There were lots of funny parts.
God I wish this man didn't go down the route of constant substance abuse. Far more appealing when he is in this state which is rare these days.
Same
Conor, doing movies will keep you healthier and in their life longer. This is a new episode in your life. Take it as a sign. Prayers for you. This will give you more time for your family. Care for your family!!! Prayers!! Take care!
Looks like my man's on antiques Road show
Cant wait for part II
Connor is gonna steal the show!!! Connor's character and energy was reason I started watching UFC. Seems like hollywood actors struggle and work years to connect with characters that Connor naturally created for himself early on in his fight career. The UFC universe has been waiting years to see him in a movie.....
Guys a complete angel. Walks on water. Jeez people you all get seriously fooled easy.
Awesome interview Conner is the man
100& with @bradley3125 on this you know. Connor it behaving like Connor of old. Usually, I know he plays a villain even in and around the Octagon, but he's come a across very honest and genuinely humble sat down with Richard Arnold here. Nice interview that. Good for you. Oh and Jake Gyllenhaal, what an incredible actor, deserves a mention in the film.
Every couple years he does a calm interview and it’s reminder of how remarkable this guy can be.
Hes always the same
Conor absolutely stole every scene he was in ...The dude mas made to be an over the top bad guy ! love to see him pursue this, great debut in his 1st film!
This was actually a great interview! Reminds me of the Conor of old
Conor has a good heart! A genuine chap. May God bless protect and guide him and his family always.
Conor masters any firld he goes into, gets bored, then does it in the next industry. Extremely high intelligence.
I truly hope and pray that these directors and studios, can include you in these movies as the new bad guy, or anything!!!! You are truly a breath of fresh air. Even movies where you are the Hero!!! What with your knowledge of MMA !!! COME ON THEY SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT! YOU WOULD BE A GREAT ASSET! TEACHING SAFE TECHNIQUES AND DOING GREAT WORK. I just don't see a down side. Hope to see you in many movies!!! Hero or villan. You are awesome ❤😊.
Yo Conor, nice to see you sober, well spoken clear minded. Keep it up bro!
The pride of Ireland. So proud of Conor. I hope he becomes the biggest movie star in the world at some point, it's possible for him if he guns for it
He can’t act though
A lot of haters but I genuinely enjoyed his performance in this film. A lot of people forget how hard acting is and for his first time he did far better than anyone else would.
I loved the original Road House and Patrick Swayze. Met him in Kentucky at a restaurant called Roadhouse in Georgetown, KY. He loved the horses.
Well Connor, I'm looking forward to your Hollywood debut. I'm sure you did a great job.
Oh, and congratulations.
Mark my words; right now Conor is a polarizing figure right now but as he ages he’ll grow into a beloved figure in the fight world/entertainment world.
