Jake Gyllenhaal is an impressive actor with an even more impressive filmography. The actor is recently getting ready for the release of his upcoming movie, Roadhouse, which is a remake of the 1989 movie of the same name starring Patrick Swayze. The upcoming 2024 movie sees Gyllenhaal in the lead, with Doug Liman in the directorial chair. But another name that is making waves with this movie is mixed martial artist and professional boxer, Conor McGregor.
The mixed martial arts champion is making his Hollywood debut with the movie as the character Knox. Playing an original character, the Notorious One will knock heads with the protagonist, Jake Gyllenhaal, playing the character of Elwood Dalton. Recently, the MMA champion posted a picture of him and Gyllenhaal, captioning it “McGregor Vs Gyllenhaal,” and fans can’t keep calm.
Conor McGregor Takes Jake Gyllenhaal in a Chokehold for Roadhouse
Conor McGregor recently posted a picture on X (formerly Twitter) of him and the 43-year-old actor from Roadhouse. The picture shows McGregor having taken Jake Gyllenhaal in a chokehold, and captioned it “McGregor Vs Gylenhaal! “Roadhouse” out March 21st,” tagging MGM Studios and Amazon Prime, who are producing and distributing the movie.
Fans can’t seem to keep calm with the picture out, glimpsing at the abs of both actors with it. The chiseled bodies of these two individuals have the fans in a frenzy, and social media is proof of that.
When they want a picture of a choke hold but you both want to show off your abs.

Jake Gyllenhaal Being Eyed For Beef Season 2
The creator and Executive Producer of Beef, Lee Sung Jin, is rumored to be eying actors to turn his hit show into an anthology series. Beef, which has won numerous awards this season after an explosive season 1 starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, might get another season. This time the show is eying actors like Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Charles Melton, and Cailee Spaeny to take the story forward, according to Deadline.
With a story surrounding two feuding couples – Gyllenhaal and Hathaway vs Melton and Spaeny, things are still up in the air. No deals have been cracked yet, and nothing has been confirmed by the production house or the representative of the actors. But given the success of the first season of the show, it is not a surprise that the creator is planning another season.
Beef Season 1 is available on Netflix.
