Remember that little stir online between UFC fighter Conor McGregor and actress Sydney Sweeney? It all started with a movie promotion and some comments that made it seem like they weren’t exactly best friends. Well, things have taken a turn!
Here’s the lowdown: Sweeney was promoting her new film, “Immaculate,” on Instagram. The movie comes out just a day after McGregor’s own movie, “Road House,” hits streaming service Prime Video. Maybe sensing a little competition, McGregor left a comment on Sweeney’s post, but instead of congratulating her, he just plugged his own movie. Some folks online thought this meant trouble was brewing.
But hold on a sec, because it turns out there were no hard feelings! McGregor recently spoke with Entertainment Tonight at the premiere of “Road House,” and he had nothing but good things to say about Sweeney.
Let’s clear the air: McGregor says he wasn’t trying to be rude with his comments. In fact, he considers himself a fan! He mentioned that Sweeney follows him on social media, and he follows her back. He even complimented her performance on the comedy show “Saturday Night Live,” calling it one of the best in recent years.
So, what about that movie competition? McGregor seems to be taking it all in stride. He’s focused on promoting “Road House” right now, where he acts alongside actor Jake Gyllenhaal. He actually spoke really highly of Gyllenhaal, calling him a friend and someone who helped him a lot on set. McGregor even said he feels like he’s always learning, which is a great attitude to have!
But here’s the interesting part: McGregor also mentioned he’d like to work with one of the top actresses in Hollywood for his next movie project. And guess who he named? Sydney Sweeney! It looks like there might be a future team-up in the works, even though their first encounter online wasn’t exactly smooth sailing.
So, what can we learn from this? Sometimes things on the internet can seem more dramatic than they really are. McGregor might have come across a little strong with his comments, but in the end, he had nothing but respect for Sweeney’s work. And who knows, maybe we’ll see them act together someday!
