Not enough: Conor has turned down a huge role in the new Predator film | THE PEGASUS CUP
The Crumlin native admitted that when he was working on the short film series for The Pegasus Cup he was paid a lot of cash for three days work.
“There’s a new Predator movie coming out and the guys came to me, did you see that horse thing I’ve done, the horse racing? That was like three days’ solid work for a hell of a lot of money, for three days,” he told Dark Horizons.
“During that three day course, the people from Predator who are having this new Predator movie, a blockbuster.
“They came in and tried to sell the whole sh*t. ‘We want you to be the main guy and you’re gonna fight Predator’ and I’m like ‘This sounds brilliant! How much?’ Not enough.”
Time constraints: The UFC champ didn’t want to be filming in Canada around the time his baby is due | BRIAN MCEVOY
Conor revealed that he turned down the role because of the time constraints and he would have to film in Canada around the time his child is due.
“We went back and forth negotiating and the number climbed up but if I was to do it would mean eight weeks in Canada, in Toronto or somewhere.
“It’s too long a time. You can’t do a million things at once. The Pegasus thing was one thing because it was like three days, in and out.
“But seven, eight weeks on a film set is heavy as f–k. Plus it would have crept in around when he [McGregor’s unborn child] was due. I didn’t want to get tricky with that so I turned down that offer,” he added.
