The Irish UFC champ may be starring in the new XXX film with Vin Deisel - and no this is not a pornographic feature
The Irishman Conor McGregor has apparently finally got called to join the Hollywood business.
In a conference call yesterday prior to a pre-UFC 194, the martial artist was asked if he would be interested in starring in action movies in the future. McGregor indicated that he had already been asked, “Just here today these director guys came to my house on some Vin Diesel thing. Hollywood is screaming out for me”.
For those who are unfamiliar with Vin Diesel, he is the acclaimed star in the XXX series - and no, this is not an adult film feature, but an action-packed movie franchise.
Yesterday, Diesel published a photo with McGregor on his Instagram with the caption, “Timing and precision… The casting of the new XXX gets more exciting every day."
Sources also confirmed to Mirror that McGregor will play a part in the upcoming film - which part it is, however, is still unclear.
Conor McGregor lasted until the 10th-round but was ultimately outclassed by perhaps the greatest pugilists of modern times
