American actor Jake Gyllenhaal is well-liked among the audience due to his acting skills; recently, his action film “Road House” was released on 21 March.
Recalling the filming of a new action movie, the actor said that while filming, when he had to shoot a fighting scene with Conor McGregor then Jake Gyllenhaal reminded Conor McGregor that this fight is just a shooting You don’t actually have to punch me in the face.
Even though the scenes shown in the film Rod House were fake, Gyllenhaal faced a challenge while filming them.
Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant star Gyllenhaal tried to tell Conor McGregor, who filmed the scene of a fake fight during the shooting, that it was not a real fight.
Speaking to ComicBook.com, Gyllenhaal Said:-
“I mean look, I think Garrett Warren and Steve Brown, who designed a lot of the fights, they had a tough job to try an up the original. And they did have an incredible crew, but a lot of the stuff we designed was meant to be pretty close contact, you know? And grappling. And There were a lot of unknown factors that come in when you’re fighting like that.”
He further added:-
“And yes, Conor is the main unknown in that way because he is used to really fighting and we had to fake fight. So constantly throughout the journey before takes I had to be like ‘Remember… don’t actually punch me in the face.’ And he’d be like ‘Oh right, right, right, right.’ Then I’d be like ‘Oh my gosh.'”
Gyllenhaal faced the challenge of filming Road House involving real fighters like Conor McGregor, and the fight scenes required expert choreography to avoid injuries.
Gyllenhaal actually got hit by McGregor’s punch during filming, but the two continued filming with a laugh.
