Fun fact: Charlie Hunnam is a major Conor McGregor fan.

He's SUCH a fan, he even modelled his recent role in Guy Ritchie's action flick King Arthur off the UFC champ.

In a recent interview with RedBulletin.com, Charlie said he "thought an enormous amount about Conor McGregor" when figuring out how he'd tackle the role.

"Conor McGregor was somebody that I drew a lot of inspiration from and that Guy and I discussed a lot," he also told Entertainment Weekly.

 

We let our results do the talking at @conormcgregorfast conditioning. We will also do a little talking ourselves because fuck you and what you think. You are witnessing the origins of the program that will change fight preparation and sports preparation forever. Thank me.

According to TMZ, Charlie watched McGregor highlights to fire himself for the role and even dreamt about fighting him. 

We feel a very at very attractive bromance brewing!
