Gerard Butler: I Love to Show My Tight Rear End
Gerard Butler says he loves to get naked for films, as he does in his most recent, Law Abiding Citizen, though he "fears moviegoers think an ass-baring scene is written into his contract – just so he can get naked."
Says Butler to Parade: “I love to show my rear end in roles. I fear it’s becoming a bit of a habit, a tradition that I have to show my ass in every movie that I can. This was always a great scene in the movie and actually speaks volumes about this character and part of the wackiness and unexpectedness that happens… He’s completely unpredictable and so when he strips off it makes sense. I mean there’s a genius behind that and if it means I have to bare my ass again than so be it. I’ve always had a skinny, tight ass but I had to bulk up for this film; I was inspired by watching (Robert) DeNiro in Taxi Driver during the scene where he’s doing the push-ups and he’s so cut. A lot more is said in that than somebody just being big and kind of a meathead...Whenever I make those decisions to be naked, I go, ‘Oh shit here’s another three months of being on a diet and getting that body back!'"
Trailer, AFTER THE JUMP...

If he spent as much time with an acting/dialogue/dialect coach as he does with his personal trainer, he might actually amount to something. As it is, he's just another bag of muscles with no fucking acting talent. He really should just do porn.

And we love you for it, Gerard - keep the dialogue and the clothes to a minimum in all future roles.

Love that we have an OUT talented popular BISEXUAL movie star.
Such a great man. Jennifer Aniston sure likes the bi guys - first Vince Vaughn (very closeted and unhappy) and now Gerard.
Could it be SHE needs the beard ??
And Roscoe - I hope you find some peace to quench all that hate in your heart.

I happened tbe in Albuquerque when he was filming The Gamer in January 2007. He is a very attractive man in person.

I used to think that Harvey Keitel had a bared glutes clause in all his contracts.

No complaints here! Yum! (I wouldn't mind testing his "tight" claim tho)

dear sweet RJP3, my heart overflows with love 24/7/365. Just not towards dreadfully bad actors who appear in dreadfully bad movies, like the vile Gerard Butler.

But what use is your love if not for the likes of Gerard Butler?
Posted by: Jeff NYC | Oct 14, 2009 12:09:22 PM
RJP3, that story where he claimed to be bi was proven to be made-up.

I saw Gerard Butler last winter while walking down a side street in Chelsea. He's even more GORGEOUS in person. I had to pick my jaw up off the ground..

A great guy!!

He's reasonably pleasant to look at, and I am not opposed to checking out his ass, but I'm still pissed at the decision not to cast someone who knows how to act to be the Phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera" movie. Christine (Emmy Rossum) was great, the minor characters were fine, the sets were great, the general direction was at least a B+, but the Phantom was painfully uninteresting and unnuanced -- and you can't blame all that on the mask. Butler's performance could be said to rival the best acting of William Shatner or Tab Hunter. A major, major casting mistake there. If the Phantom were played by someone as talented and fitting as, say, Michael Crawford (vs. some hack narcissist), it could have been much more artistically and commercially successful.

Hot bottom !

@George Motor: shoot, man, the only reason Mr. Butler got hired for Phantom is that Joel Schumacher probably wanted to sleep with him.
