Obviously, the game’s many cut-scenes were not filmed practically, as the actors involved suiting up for motion capture.
This included Conor McGregor, who wore a motion capture suit and dots, while wearing a cap with a camera mounted on the front, filming the Irishman’s facial performance.
The filming also involved him wielding a fake, light-coloured gun, coloured as such to allow for accurately recreated lighting and interaction.
A video of the process was shared to Instagram by ‘raindermma’ and shared to McGregor’s IG Story by the former UFC champion himself.
In the comments, fans expressed shock at the transformation.
One said: “Can’t believe that’s Connor?!?!?”
Another added: “So over the years I am playing call of duty I did not know that is Conor”
The 34-year-old’s involvement in the Call of Duty series is but one of a number of extracurricular activities his fame in the fight game has afforded him.
The most significant one coming up is his film debut alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in Road House.
Although the two worlds in which he occupies have crossed over.
One of the settings for the film is a UFC weigh-in, with the UFC 285 stage converted to UFC 222, which took place back in 2018.
The former two-weight champion gave fans a sneak peak into the filming process with a post on Instagram at the start of March.
In it, he posted a number of pictures of him alongside Gyllenhaal and Road House director Doug Liman.
In addition, he shared snaps of him posing on the scales, his arms spread wide in a signature pose.
The Notorious captioned it by saying: “Hollywood gang in the house. Move over, we’re shooting.
“This the type of vibe myself and director @dougliman and our @roadhousemovie team are on.
“This movie is iconic! A masterpiece! @roadhousemovie”
Both McGregor and Gyllenhaal stepped on the scales for the purported scene, with the acting legend looking in incredible shape
