UFC champion Conor McGregor could get used to Hollywood.

The wrestler, who made his film debut in the new movie “Road House,” told us he had a great time in Tinseltown. “I had to throw (his co-star) Jake Gyllenhaal over the bar,” McGregor told Page Six, “so that was a lot of fun. I loved.”

“We had a great relationship,” added the Irishman, “he was very patient with me; very useful.”

“He took one or two hits, but he got hit back too, so we had a good one during filming,” he told us at the premiere at Jazz Lincoln.

Meanwhile, the Dublin native told Us that, when he wasn’t walking the film’s star around the room, he was struck by Gyllenhaal’s appearance. “He’s a good-looking guy,” McGregor said. “It melts you with your eyes.” He added: “The whole cast is beautiful. Beautiful landscapes, beautiful action scenes. That was great.”

The original “Road House” from 1989 starred Patrick Swayze.

McGregor told us he wore a somewhat flashy outfit to the premiere, including a Jacob & Co. “Godfather”-themed watch.

“There’s Marlo Brando sitting in the center and when you click the button, ‘The Godfather’ comes on,” he told us.

“Road House” is currently on Amazon Prime Video.
