Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Prime Video's Road House marked the acting debut of mixed martial artist Conor McGregor, and he had an unusual motivation that led him to take the role of Knox. Joining the ongoing trend of remakes and reboots is Road House, the 1989 action film directed by Rowdy Herrington and starring Patrick Swayze as legendary bouncer James Dalton.
Conor McGregor Was Motivated To Join Road House By Meryl Streep’s Negative MMA Comments Meryl Streep Once Made Negative MMA Comments That Stuck With McGregor Meryl Streep said Hollywood was “ crawling with outsiders and foreigners ”, and if they were kicked out, all that would be left to watch would be “ football and mixed martial arts”, which she called “ not the arts ”.
McGregor defended MMA explaining it’s “the most beautiful form of art” and it’s one where you can’t make a mistake, so it’s “real artistry” for those in it. Streep’s comments pushed McGregor to prove her and those who share those comments wrong and joined Road House, explaining he had “maybe a little chip on my shoulder” and wanted to represent his sport and art in this different “arena”.
