Conor McGregor's Record-Breaking Payday
Conor McGregor recently made his acting debut in the film Road House alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. The MMA star claims to have broken the record for the highest-paid debuting actor with this role, surpassing Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's previous record.
McGregor's Hollywood Feat
McGregor boasted on Good Morning Britain about his paycheck, stating, "That’s the fact, the highest-paid first-time actor of all time so it’s a nice feather in the cap." He confidently added, "There’s not an action star in Hollywood that could take me on and that’s a fact, so let’s see how it goes."
Unconfirmed Payday
Although the official fee McGregor received for his role in Road House has not been confirmed, speculation suggests it could exceed $5.5 million (£4.36 million), the amount The Rock earned for his debut in 2001’s The Mummy Returns.
