And while soaking up the sun poolside, McGregor, wearing his Jacob & Co casino watch, was sure to drink it in with a glass or two of his Proper No Twelve whiskey.

The choice of beverage may not come as a surprise, but slurping it down with Louis Vuitton STRAWS worth €950 is.

LV’s Straws and Pouch set is listed on their website as costing £810, which is nothing more than pocket change for McGregor.

He is the UFC’s wealthiest star of all time and this year topped Forbes' list as highest-paid athlete with €150m banked over the last 12 months.

McGregor has a well documented love for cars, jewellery and fashion and once revealed he only started fighting so he could fund his trainer obsession.

And it appears mission complete as he showed off a pair of green LV shoes, which can cost up to €1,200.

McGregor, 33, is back training again without a leg cast after undergoing an operation in LA.

It came after he broke his tibia seconds before the end of round one in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier, 32, thereby losing by doctor stoppage.

McGregor initially beat Poirier in 2014 but was knocked out in their rematch in January.

Due to the unprecedented ending to their trilogy decider, it has left a FOURTH fight between them in the works.

Louis Vuitton Elevates Remote Work With This Reinvented Classic

In July 1929—when the Roaring Twenties were still roaring—celebrated British orchestra conductor Leopold Stokowski commissioned Louis Vuitton to design and produce a portable secretary. By then, the Paris luggage company, founded by French master trunk maker Louis Vuitton in 1854, had produced an impressive, if curious, array of specialty designs. The Bed Trunk, which contained a folding cot, was favored by 19th-century explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza; the Library Trunk was commanded by Encyclopædia Britannica to deliver its 29-volume 11th edition to customers; and the Shoes Trunk was requested by American opera diva Lily Pons for her ample collection of pumps.

Upon receiving Stokowski’s order, the design team—led by Louis’s son Georges at the company’s original workshop in the Paris suburb of Asnières-sur-Seine—set about reconfiguring the traditional malle, or travel trunk, to meet Stokowski’s needs. When opened, a desk swung up and perched on foldable legs. There were bookshelves, a typewriter compartment, and drawers large enough to hold sheet music. (There was no need for a baton; Stokowski famously started the trend of conducting with his hands.) While the exterior was enveloped with the luxury house’s traditional Monogram canvas, an ecru–and–burnt sienna jacquard with geometric and floral motifs and the founder’s initials, the interior was lined with soothing gray swallow Vuittonite, a waterproof material introduced by Louis in 1854 and later popularized for automobile luggage.

For many years, the Stokowski, as it became known, was one-of-a-kind. But it was such a smart and enviable design that the company eventually made it available for special orders, adding a compartment for a folding stool. It has remained in production ever since. Versions now reside in the company’s archives and in La Galerie Louis Vuitton, located at the Asnières-sur-Seine compound.

Coinciding with the 200th anniversary of company founder Louis Vuitton’s birth, the brand has introduced the Secrétaire Bureau 2.0, an update of the Stokowski with modern needs in mind. The desk is larger, to accommodate laptops, as are compartments for storage. There is a cable passage for efficient wire management, a “smart top” that keeps the trunk organized when closed, and a lid lining that can serve as a bulletin board. As with all Vuitton trunks, carpenters craft a structure made of three types of wood: poplar for framework; okoume, a light, resistant African wood, for the body and lid; and beech for decorative and reinforcing laths. The interior is available finished with varnished beechwood or straw marquetry. And like all specialty Vuitton trunks, it is made to order, price upon request. Delivery time: one year. At a time when remote working is increasingly the norm, this luxurious take is anything but ordinary. louisvuitton.com

Beasts Clawing at Straws review – jet-black comedy in arch Korean thriller

When Korean director Bong Joon-ho won the best picture Oscar in 2020 for his near-universally acclaimed Parasite, he suggested that maybe now is the time for Anglophone viewers to get over the “one-inch-tall barrier of subtitles” and discover the world of pleasure awaiting them. Although there’s a bottomless back catalogue of great Korean films out there to catch up with, those who have embraced the challenge of leaping that tiny barrier might enjoy this new, jet-black comedy by Bong’s fellow countryman Kim Yong-hoon, who is making his directorial debut. Based on a Japanese novel by Keisuke Sone, this is an arch, multi-strand, multi-character three-ring circus, revolving around a Louis Vuitton overnight bag full of cash that long-suffering sauna worker Joong-man (Bae Seong-woo) finds in an abandoned locker at work.

While Joong-man sees in the bag a chance to escape his drudgery-filled life, dealing with his overbearing mother and pissed-off wife, another set of characters are no less invested in acquiring this untraceable fortune. Sleazy customs official (Jung Woo-sung) is in hock to gangsters for a debt incurred by his missing wife, while fed-up-and-ready-for-revenge escort (Shin Hyun-bin) is regularly beaten by her vile husband and sees in a besotted client the chance to pull off a Double Indemnity-style con. And then there’s the escort’s imperious boss Yeon-hee (Jeon Do-yeon, a goddess in lipstick and a dab hand with a broken bottle), who knows what it’s like to be hurt by men.

Some of the plot’s manoeuvres are perhaps not as clever as the film-makers seem to think they are, with a temporal two-step shuffle straight out of Pulp Fiction (and scores of other thrillers). But the performances are rich and perfectly pitched, from the leads right down to the comic-relief minor characters, such as Park Ji-hwan’s lowlife sidekick and Youn Yuh-jung – who won an Oscar this year for Minari – as Joong-man’s infinitely annoying mother. The intense colour palette blends neon signs and green-lit interiors with the vast amounts of scarlet blood that flows as a consequence of the frequent violence.

Beasts Clawing at Straws is released on 13 August on Curzon Home Cinema.
