Continuing his meteoric rise to superstardom, Sean O'Malley has landed his first role in Hollywood.

The UFC bantamweight king believes he has what it takes to surpass Conor McGregor's level of fame both inside and outside of the octagon. While reaching McGregor's heights will be a tough ask for anybody, 'Suga' is beginning to make the right moves toward his career goal.

Sean O'Malley has the chance to make history at the Las Vegas Sphere on September 14, but he is also making a name for himself outside of the sport.

Making his appearance on the big screen, O'Malley confirmed that he will play a role in the upcoming Venom: The Last Dance movie.

"We shot a scene that's going to be in the movie," O'Malley said. "And the movie is supposed to drop in like October, right? Next month."

"The movie's pretty much done. So, they're just adding the scene or whatever. It's pretty cool."

Further describing his role, O'Malley seemingly revealed that his appearance will consist of comedic relief for viewers.

"It'll probably be 15 seconds. Well, 15 to 30 [seconds] I'd say... [I did about] 400 takes of the same thing but the camera would switch."

"My line, 'Dana, he's a monster!' If I don't get a f***ing Oscar or whatever you get for acting, I will be upset. I crushed that sh*t."

Sean O'Malley became the star he always knew he would be, but that can all be ripped away at UFC 306 this Saturday.

The fan-favorite will be locked in a cage with a machine of a man in Merab Dvalishvili. Riding a 10-fight win streak, the Georgian is hungry to become a UFC champion at the first time of asking.

The feud between the two has only escalated in recent weeks and you can watch the pair settle their differences on Saturday — live from the coveted Las Vegas Sphere.
