McGregor is known for his wide range of tattoos, including having his surname inked across his stomach.

Fans spotted that the tattoo had been altered by CGI to instead read ‘Knox Knox Knox’ – the name of his character in the movie.

In the film, Gyllenhaal plays a retired UFC fighter who later becomes a bouncer at an unruly bar in Florida.

The Hollywood A-lister made a surprise appearance at UFC 285, filming scenes inside the octagon between actual fights on the Jon Jones vs Ciryl Gane undercard.

Road House is expected to be released on Prime Video on March 21.
