Conor McGregor has ended his sobriety alongside Brad Pitt
Be warned: Conor McGregor is back on the ale. The controversial MMA fighter took to social media to announce that he’s drinking again in solidarity with actor Brad Pitt, who also recently announced he’s off the wagon.
Earlier this week, Conor McGregor — fresh off suffering a torn ACL and meniscus in his first UFC fight in five years — took to social media to share that he’s breaking his sobriety in solidarity with Academy Award-winning actor Brad Pitt.
Conor McGregor shared a video of himself drinking and saying he’s ending his sobriety in solidarity with Brad Pitt doing the same
The Irish MMA star posted a video of himself drinking a can of his Forged Irish Stout and addressed Pitt directly in the post, calling him a “fellow actor” — a reference to his own recent role in the Road House remake — and closing with “Take it easy, Brad!”
I have decided to have a few pints of The Worlds Creamiest Stout @ForgedStout in support of my fellow actor, Brad Pitt!
Take it easy, Brad! ❤️ @ForgedStout is a 4.2%alc, true sociable and friendly delicious beverage.
Enjoy safely 🙏

Pitt, who had credited Bradley Cooper’s support and over a year of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings with helping him get sober, says he will now have a few glasses of wine.
