Yeah I don't get why they picked McGregor to begin with, I mean yeah he's already an MMA fighter and a born again asshat but has zero acting skills whatsoever. I mean they could have done better with someone that has acting skills already and is ripped as well like maybe Zac Efron, dudes even more ripped than Gyllenhaal is. I wonder how much they offered McGregor to play that part. I'm not knocking the movie, it was good, but it could have been better.
