Conor McGregor and Jared Leto
Hollywood actor Jared Leto is delighted by the prospect of training with Conor McGregor, should the artist play the MMA superstar in a movie
Academy award-winning Hollywood actor Jared Leto had expressed his desire to play Conor McGregor in a movie. A big-time fan of the sport, Leto can be seen cage side or in the front row at many UFC events.
Leto told Extratv while promoting his limited series ‘We Worked’, “Well, I am a huge UFC fan and I’m a huge Dana White fan. I hope he is a huge Jared Leto fan too. Maybe I could play Dana White. That would be great. If we do the UFC movie, if I was younger, I’d play Conor McGregor. I got the beard. What Conor does and what these guys and gals do is just extraordinary…. I’m too old to do Conor, probably, but you never know. We could maybe use some CGI.”
The ‘Notorious’ one was permissive of the idea, and responded to it on his Twitter by saying,
“Jared Leto, I invite you to come and practice the part with me!”
Jared Leto has finally responded to the invite by saying,
Let’s do it
Leto would be the right guy to play the ‘Notoriou’ one owing to his shape-shifting abilities as an actor, and his deep love for the sport.
The arrest of several present and past UFC fighters in the shortest span has got the community worried, while many fighters have condemned their peers’ actions.
Nate Diaz was particularly miffed at Conor Mcgregor, who has had his share of trouble with the law on multiple occasions now. He released a series of tweets chastising his confreres for their irrational behavior.
He even called out the UFC for sidelining him, suggesting that he’s been wanting to fight for the past seven months now.
