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!'"
