UFC World Champion Conor McGregor is taking his fighting chops to the big screen. The fighter will be making his major studio acting debut in Amazon Prime’s Jake Gyllenhaal reboot of the 1980s classic Road House, reports Deadline.
In the original 1989 flick, Road House followed the level-headed Dalton (played by Patrick Swayze), an experienced bouncer who is tasked with taking on the rowdiest bar in Missouri. Amazon Prime’s modern re-imagining “follows a former UFC fighter (Gyllenhaal) who takes a job as a bouncer at a rough-and-tumble roadhouse in the Florida Keys, but soon discovers that not everything is what it seems in this tropical paradise.”
