Every now and again this version of Conor’s personality comes out and I remember why I was a fan of his.
Conor is a fascinating character. Yeah he's flawed. Aren't we all?
@@thedude8503 I’m not a fan of his at all. I wish he’d disappear so that the upcoming talent in the ufc can get built up and the current roster can get more pay because I’m a fan of the sport 🤘🏽
Fair weather fan
@@Bigtaz777 no when money and fame get to people’s heads people change.. I’d probably be the same haha 🤷🏽. I’m not a fan of his now because he’s taking up valuable resources that the current and upcoming generations of fighters could be getting paid. He’s not worth the money he’s getting paid in my opinion.
@@Bigtaz777 & your a fan no matter how much of a moron he becomes 90% of the time?
You can tell Jake understands this is Conor’s first movie star moment and just lets him talk more and take it in, respect
Gotta love jake. Its why he remains an A-Lister while others who develop big heads are dropping down to B
I don't think he really had a choice
yeah; probably a bit of both; Jake is a bit of an introvert (i have friends that live near him in NYC and she said he's a bit of a loner) @@dannytoots6635
Or Jake can’t get a word in edge ways 😂
So well said
Cannot tell you how nice it is to see the chill Connor.
I didnt even know this side of him existed lol :)
I cannot believe how genuinely inquisitive and interested Connor is, every time Jake shares new information. It's so warm and respectful. Amazing interview. This pair should definitely make another movie!!
Conor looks like a different person in every interview.
Better when he isn't on drugs lol.
He just shaves his beard and styles his hair, also is training and slimming down
Almost like every cameraman has his own individual set up ... wooah
@@TrevorwiththreeVsur missing the point, it’s clearly caused by his persistent drug use
@@johnlennon1155that‘s why he looks different in interviews that are 2 days apart😂😂🤡
When Connor isn't full of anger he speaks and expresses himself so well and so eloquently
Ok..
🧂 👃
U mean cocaethylene
Sure...
Dang, you have a low bar then 💀
I love how little conor knows about jakes career and still the respect between the two, jake is humble never takes it the wrong way. Conor is so genuine and honest he has plenty of time to catch up on his movie 👍 love this duo!
I mean.. Jake needed to be humble if he doesn’t want to get KO’d by Conor.. 😂😂😂
So true
Conor is intelligent and articulate when he speaks. It is very interesting to see these two stars talking together and discussing their profession and their admiration for each other.
Nice to see the humble, respectful side of Conor.
100% bro. ...nice to see the persona parked and the person's real side come forth
Really cool guy
😂😂😂
Conor has issues mentally. He is doing too much drugs
@@RogerDominguez-de4hjyeah but he still seems nice a cool dude who can be very nice if he likes you.
‘All it took me Jake… was every single waking second of my life’ That had me 😂😂😂😂
For so many reasons, Jake reminds me of Clint Eastwood. Humility, boxing, eyebrows, mannerisms and engagement during a conversation. Big fan. There’s also a LOT more to Conor than I ever thought. Well done to you both!
Now I will never unsee Clint Eastwood in Jake ❤ I never noticed but yes I couldn’t think of who he resembled and bam there it is😊
idk but "eyebrows" was just super funny to me. im not saying youre wrong though.
This is beautiful.. they can't stop commending each other, that's massively admirable
Lol have I told you how great I am?
Conor was built for an antagonist.
His mere existence antagonises mma fans 😂
@Ash_Hudson Which is how he made zillions off them.
Something tells me my package is bigger than both of yours
@@Ash_Hudson Yep, no MMA fan can stand him. 😂😂
@@AF-my4zj Aren't you the Logan Paul lookalike that Nate Diaz choked out?
Conor would do so well on podcasts, I’m dying for him to go on rogan
lol tht lil manlet rat
fr idk how that hasn't happened yet
he’s afraid Joe’s gonna call the cops
Pretty sure Rogan does not respect McGregor
That will never happen
Only 3 mins in and I feel the respect these two amazing people have for each other.
Wow, what an amazing interview. Conor is such a massively magnetic personality. Jake just lets him run, such great chemistry. Jakespeare will be great on Broadway.
gonna be a fun movie. love how conor casually drops about 5 spoilers and doesn't care LOL
😂
Don't know what a spoiler is, huh?
He doesn't give a *ock!
The double champ apologizes to absolutely no one lol
@@kaddukugaming😂😂😂😂
“Conor what did you to prepare for this role?” “Yacht has gym”
Ok..
@@strongestnattyever-videos2247do you not understand the reference
@@hughjanus3562 didn’t ask..
Hes asking you though... ya dummy!@strongestnattyever-videos2247
@@strongestnattyever-videos2247 stop fighting! LOL 😂 😂
It’s nice to see Conner enjoying film making.. Jake & He did an AMAZING Job on Road House Cast & crew knocked it out the park
This was truly genuine interaction. Love the movie guys!!
Jake Gyllenhaal is very humble. The way he admites Conor, even at his height of fame is pretty cool
admites?
Conor is way bigger than Jake lol
Admires @@Shithappenswhenu
Jakes famous, Connors Infamous. 2 little letters make a big difference
Your comment is funny...You clearly do not know about Connors fame
It’s so lovely to see this conversation. Jake is calm and seems capable of accepting Conor for who he is interruptions and all. They seem to genuinely appreciate each other.
yep lol
It's called a conversation... Conor is just being himself, and so is Jake. Very Genuine
Yeah the interruptions are just his path of conversation. He definitely doesn’t mean it in a bad way but it’s irritating for some people lol.
When an intro meet an extro lol
Great video,never seen Conor so calm and speaking,what a great guy✌️
Two rad dudes! Great energy. Humility when it’s appropriate but also aware of their talents. Love it!
Hearing Conor talk in such an informal setting makes me smile. His energy is contagious
❄ ❄
He’s sober here lmao
@@SonGokuuuuuuuyeah but he needs time stay that way.
What about his tweaking?
what about rest of the interview where he is fine dingus?@@matrix4057
Interviewer directs question at Jake and Conor answers for him haha
excitement and -brain injuries
Hahaha
Too funny 😂.. can’t get word in edge ways
He is there to take over... do not forget. :D
Are YOU going to call him out on it?!?!?! 😂
Jake Gyllenhaal always a true gentleman and devoted artist.
It nice to see how much respect both of them are showing! Awesome! I‘m a fan of both!
"Who taught you shapes???" That line had me dying last night 😂😂😂
Yeah bro. I was laughing like anything
timestamp?
@@peterc504it’s in the movie
@@daleboettcherphoto ahh thought it was in this video
lmao it was so random - also "I think the piano is out of tune"
2:44 "All it took me Jake, was every single waking second of my life". Its so easy to hate on people who are in a better postition in life than us. You have to think about what it cost them to get there, and most of these successful people deserve everything they have because they sacrificed everything for it. In this way I have always respected Conor. The cost of greatness is everything.
That part!
That part!
Great comment, totally agree 👍🏻
Yeah but you can still judge people on their actions regardless of their success
@@elvoncoleman6459 I agree, I definitely don't respect some of conor's actions. However I think he deserves more credit than he gets, and his journey to the top is admirable.
There's no word that how great is Jake but what I couldn't believe is Conor really really showed a perfect picture and ability in acting
watched it yesterday, the story an all were not amazing but I had a smile all the way, the energy and characters were great
Conor lookin like a 007 Bond Villain crossed with an Art Dealer
Hahaha
😂 crossed with a art dealer
007 Villian crossed with an art dealer would be a 007 Villian.
Accurate 😂
@@thehumancrumb.668an
There's a lovely balance to this interview : Conor's outfit too small for him; Jake's outfit too big for him
😂😂😂
lol
Lol... I noticed the same thing... Weird
They must’ve traded
haha!
Jake has a gift at complimenting everyone he works with. He makes everyone seem more awesome and better when he does an interview with them. He is the definition of a team player and adds to everything he does. Conor is an extreme guy, to say the least, but jake made him feel more human than cartoon for the first time in years
I wonder how much percent of replies here are not actually AI conversing with eachother. Looks like youtube comments is going the same way as facebooks.
@@dimensionfive1780 I hope not
they seem like genuine friends and connor chill mode is so cool
conors charisma is unmatched
That isn't true there's plenty whom match him or have more
But not with his achievements
@@NRC613 couldn't name one?
@@jaystat6545 loser
what actually is charisma? (i genuinely don't know)
Jake is so chill and humble... incredible talent
Makes me think is be acting and putting on a character even in this interview. I think so. He has no off switch always acting always in character
@@davidsalinas9 If that’s who he always is then that is his character not a character. It would only be acting if he was able to switch it on and off.
This was a great sit-down. Roadhouse was fantastic! Some of the best fighting scenes I've ever scene.
I could listen to these 2 talk all day
Everybody talking about Connor, Jake is so humble guy - great actor and persona!
i guess cuz it's a different side of Connor people are seeing. Jake is always like this.
I love the contrast between their natures. Jake is gentle and chill. Conor is assertive and go-go-go.
Its called COCAINAAAAA
Drink every time Connor looks at his watch lol he is a speedy speedy lad
Conor is a definitely Narcissist., borderline, (if not)., sociopath
Because he's literally on the go-go juice.
Cocaine's a helluva drug.
17:21 them two having a laugh and vibing. Wholesome.
Really cool to see these men so real and humble, even at their respective level of success. This is leadership by example. Great job guys, keep it going.
I love how passionate Conor clearly is about talking about the film. He seems sooooo excited
Marketing his involvement is in his dna at this point.
Conor asks Jake a question then answers it for him 😂😂
….alright.
@@strongestnattyever-videos2247 are you a bot or just a strange human being?
@@hatrickyman im weakkkk
Just bein helpful
@@hatrickyman aight lil tiny bro
WOWWW... its amazing to see Connor actually smiling ,having normal conversation, without neck veins bulging,screaming and cursing in someones face, spit flying everywhere. THIS IS A GREAT SIDE OF HIM ❤
Without any spoilers when the enter the sandman music starts playing in the background I got goosebumps. Perfect song to play at that time
Conor is such an active listener.
Are u trolling?
Lmaoooo
LMAO!
Seriously? He doesn’t shut up. He asks a question and then starts talking again before Jake can answer 😂
lol
can we talk about how amazing it is to hear conor speak when not in his mma persona? he really seems like bloody chiller
I've always been a fan of both, through the ups and downs and loved the Road House movie! Wasn't a copy of the original, it's own creative version that was fresh and new. Great job to you both and the whole cast and crew!
The ultimate form of charisma is Humility
Loving these Roadhouse press videos with Conor McGregor and Jake Gyllenhaal, such a chill vibe between them, positive energy, almost like two buddies hanging out 😊
They probably are buddies, kind of, by now I would think :)
Watch Jake and Ryan Reynolds. That's true natural chemistry
I don’t think u know what “chill” means.
@@davedangerous2012facts
You definitely didn't lie in the title...it was in fact an epic conversation. Raw, real, authentic....pure human interaction. You don't see Conor like that much these days. Hilarious, witty, sharp "i play the perfect tree". Jake was the perfect partner. Really cool to see
The chemistry betwen these two is 🔥
McGregor Debut was awesome. He did his portion of action like mind blowing. I believe everyone can feel the same...
An Irish person telling you you're a 'credit to your craft' is one of the best compliments there is lol
I caught that. Seemed like a really thoughtful thing to say
Bro is shapeshifting, he looks like a whole different person every three months
He has a clone
Steds
Roids
Also the best hair transplant docs.
Botox, fillers and hair transplant
By far the best authentic interview I've seen in my life. I like their humility and their openness to learning, to becoming a "student" again with an open mind... very inspiring!
I love these guys. I love this interview… but this is THE most authentic interview you’ve seen in your WHOLE life?!?
You are both Legends! Great watch!!!
This humble version of Mcgregor its majestic. The guy sound so Nice, so respectful, with cool ideas. Hope he stay in this path.-
Conor is such a legend
BS
@@LEELUNK-IS-A-HUNKYeah my junk is definitely bigger than yours lmao
Wtf? Double UFC champ? KO’d Jose Aldo? Made Alvarez look like and amateur?
@@fredk6992 ALDO SUXXED, WAS A FLYWEIGHT, CONOR BECAME SKELETOR TO BULLY HIM, IN CONORS NATURAL WEIGHT, HE AINT BEATING NOBODY BUT THE WASHED UP VETERANS LIKE THE COWBOY CERRONE, ETC
@@LEELUNK-IS-A-HUNKhaterrrr
A great interview, nice to see Connor being humble and gracious. He is a human after all.
Great energy in this interview. I'll definitely be watching this movie.
these guys both do a great job in conversation. take nice pauses and let each other speak and really respond to everything they are saying to each other. proper manners. proper men.
Proper twelve ☘️ annnnd cut scene for whiskey commercial
conor cuts him off alot
@@Optitius it happens to people who have a ton of energy and get excited easy. it isn't that he's trying to be rude, he's just super excited to speak and get his word in. it can be rude but its more about dynamic and energy with conversation and jake is so calm and chill that it balances out really well.
@@Optitius i figure its his first time makin a movie so it's all the excitement i guess
This is such an exceptional chat. Mutual respect and admiration is contagious. More of us need to be like this on the daily.
My favourite actor I love you so much❤❤❤❤
Big respect for Connor and jake as well I love how they speak each other!💯👌
Watched the movie last night. Nothing better than Connor’s antagonist attitude and that strut he has. Dude was made for that role
YESSS
Conor is a real dude
haha
Nobody accused him of being trans
Conor is a real coke head
@@OMW2FYMUMcoke smells great
😂😂😂😂
This is the new down to earth, humble Connor that we deserve. Was hating this guy so much, heck now I'm his fan. Love seeing him turning a new leaf. With this attitude Connor gonna bounce back in no time 🦾🦾🦾
couldn't have been better, great interview with some great guys
Love these types of interviews, a natural flow
he's a charming SOB.
Conor knows exactly what personality to give the people and when.
like these guys new each other forever.......a real friendship I see here
This interview certainly makes me wanna watch the movie so well done on the promo
One of Conor's best interviews in a while, he actually seems sober
Sober moment when you answer anything said as á question to him rather than chit chat
U obviously don't know what sober looks like then😂
Gotta love Conor’s fashion sense - dude’s always looking impeccable!
Respect for both these MEN I truly believe they both will be legendary men talked about for ever by future action actors and definitely fighters like Connor, # LEGENDS.
Great interview. I loved it. Conor is such a great guy. I'd love to see him in another movie. What he did in Road House was insane! Great movie!
Conor needs to be in a 007 Movie 🎥
Shut up 🤦🏼♂️😂
Doing what? I hope you’re not implying that this bloke could be bond at 4’8.
@@Celestial26 I said needs to be in a 007 movie, not - “ he needs to be James Bond” understand what I say before responding
I was thinking terminator
Maybe a blood sport or buddy cop film
Conor really delivered and did much more than I expected, especially the stunts!! My fav movie of this year so far!
SAME!!
For me it was the over the top , almost cartoonish character. I loved it.
you need to watch some more movies
Phenomenal film!!! The fight scenes are amazing!!!
Both these guys are awesome. Conner is very humble here. Great team
Conor*
what a charismatic dude
Dude not gonna lie Conor mcgreggor would make a fantastic action actor
lol he just played litterally himself ... he no actor whatsoever
That's how they all start. He's a character in real life so..
exactly ... who needs years of drama school ? @@Buddychronic
@@switchdogdotorgSo just like most of the biggest action actors then.. Chuck Norris, Vin Diesel etc
yes . but unlike robert de niro or al pacino @@eyeslikeoceans
Watch the movie yesterday really liked it. Couldn’t have been done without Connors character. Love the energy.
Great movie fellas, I’m going to watch it for the second time tonight. I had been anticipating this movie for a while and you guys knocked it out of the park!
“what do you mean it’s not real enough? i’m actually getting hit with a door here!” 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
you dont usually hear actors shouting out the wider team, it cool that conor gives them recognition. Humble but confident conor is King
I see actors doing it quite often when rehashing older roles. almost every gq actor breakdown video. In an actual sense, Conor is built to be an a-list actor
Loved the original Roadhouse and I really loved this movie, the fight scenes and especially Connor’s character!! Hope to see more of him!
Absolutely loved this version of Roadhouse. Jake and Conor were fantastic. Watched it twice. 👏
Jake is so chill
as opposed to.. full tilt idiot?..- If he wasn an idiot he could control himself.
I really hope Conor goes into the movie industry more in the future. I could see him playing even more than just a simple bad guy or the muscle. I’m sure he could pull off a more subtlety menacing role.
Great interview, and a great movie! Really enjoyed it ! Definitely worth watching .
A great interview, and I love the movie, both men were exceptional in the film
I think what makes Conor so awesome is that he's not just a fighter, he's a fan of all of it himself. How lit up his face got talking about being in the crowd for Jake's weigh in said it all.
You can tell these two genuinely like each other, have a feeling the movie will exceed expectations
Lmao keep dreaming
@@DaynnikesI’m excited to see it. Hope u stop being miserable
no, they don't. they pretend
Was very entertaining. McGregor did well.
@@laowai2000 actors are snakes. they backstab you
I have never seen Connor so polite and lighthearted
One of my favorite actors Jake
