Gerard Butler: Before & After

Gerard Butler: Before & After

Check out this old school photo of Scottish stud Gerard Butler from MeetTheFamous.

Obviously, this was long before the 39-year-old actor bulked up for his role in 300.

Gerry has come a long way since acting on London’s West End in the 90’s! He can still be seen around select theaters around the country in the Guy Ritchie-directed film RocknRolla.

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Gerard’s Butler mushroom cut — HOT or NOT?

Not my favorite hair style, but that was the style in the 90’s, at least it wasn’t the 80’s… LoL

HAHAHA… GREAT PHOTO OF GERARD. I LOVE MEETTHEFAMOUS.COM ALSO (good find Jared!!)

Some men improve with age …

WOW! He looked even more gay before (L)!

*-* love it!

the real jc. @ 11/25/2008 at 1:34 pm

What a pretty haircut. He was and still is so gorgeous but he has that rugged sexiness now too. I certainly wouldn’t say no.

He looks much better now!! :)

he is not conventionally beautiful but still, I find him very attractive

Oh….he lookscute with his frosted hair. But he’s sexy now.

He has always been gorgeous. In style of the times and today.
He is certainly one of the best looking men of all time. Already signing autographs, I see. He is still known to appreciate his fans.
Oh well, when you’re a nice person I guess you are always a nice person.

GORGEOUS, HOT, SEXY, SWEET-then and now.

You go Gerry, baby.

girliegirrrrl18 @ 11/25/2008 at 3:02 pm

it is definitely hot! lol everything about this man is sexy!

OMG! He was gorgeous! Still is hotter than HAWT!

Looks to me like his hair when he was appearing on stage in London in Suddenly Last Summer in the late 90’s. The dye job and style were required for the part and if you look at pictures from the production all the characters sported “unusual” hair. In fact his is among the more “normal” looking. He was cute when younger, but he is improving with age. I prefer his Rocknrolla look over the boy band blonde.

I think that man is gorgeous no matter what color or length his hair is.

Oh, of course he’s hot! Is it a matter of hair? He looks very cute even with this color.

His hair was like that in the picture on the left for a character role he was playing. It was for Suddenly Last Summer in which he starred with a then unknown Rachel Weisz.

I agree with the sane ones on this board..he was darling!!!!!!He would have been a pin-up..definitely!!!! He is so handsome in all of his incarnations: Attila magic eyes, Beowulf armor thighs, Dear Frankie depth, 300 hunkiness, Timeline hiar beauty, RnRolla sexiness, and now this when he was a mere babe. His eyes, nose, mouth, and now his hair show why we love him…No matter what costumes..what scripts, what makeup…what hair color…this is a STAR! He never had the pimply, callow look of Brad Pitt at this age: he is just gorgeous…sexy..playfu….nad to thinkhe is an honors graduate from law school.Brainy,too. Give me Gerard Butler in any manner! Thanks, Jared, for posting this! Now..can you get any baby or childhood pictures of him? Any school pictures? You have your sources..He grew up in Paisley,Scotland….Give us what we want, please!
Thanks.

Wow! He was hot back then and now. Love him. I love his accent.

LOL . . .oh gotta love the early 90’s. Thank god that time has passed.

That’s so cute. Even on a bad hair day, he’s always been hot. It must have been from Suddenly Last Summer when he was in that play. He does just keep getting better and better. What a smokin’ hot Scot!

he looks really gay and I do mean G A Y in that first picture.

briannaRandall @ 11/25/2008 at 5:24 pm

He was cute! I’d have dated him. He’s way hotter now though.

Did he get a moob job?

The old photo is not a school pic. It appears to be a pic taken outside of the theater when he appeared in Suddenly Last Summer. His hair is for of the role, I believe. He is holding a Sharpie and is probably signing autographs for the fans who had already spotted him early on as the talent and hunk that he is.
I prefer his later look, thank you very much. LOL.

Ladyclaire @ 11/25/2008 at 7:38 pm

to quote Diana Gabaldon…If I were a horse…I’d let him ride me anywhere

Giving someone an autograph? This Scottish Stud looked good back then and he looks good right now. What a man!

cute … very cute.

Tintangel @ 11/25/2008 at 9:31 pm

He looks like a blonde version of Roger Federer.Very cute!

I’d take him in a heartbeat, with or without the mushroom. ;)
To me, Butler is the hottest guy around these days!

postwatcher @ 11/26/2008 at 2:09 am

OMG, such a dork in the first picture. He totally looks like the typical gay best friend for all the *** hags out there.

This pic was taken before he had his teeth capped, thus the close-mouthed smile.

“His eyes, nose, mouth, and now his hair show why we love him…No matter what costumes..what scripts, what makeup…what hair color…this is a STAR!”

Yes Liz, all this…AND SO GAY TOO!!!!!!!!!! I don’t think his boyfriend has seen this picture yet, but I’m sure he will still love him just the same.

Now I’m sure he is gay!

Gerry is like wine, as older better.

Joanna Gilby @ 11/26/2008 at 10:19 am

WOW, What a difference! He without doubt looked very attractive back then, love the hair and his baby-face! Now, well I’m not sure. Yes, he’s grown up a lot and have a few aging winkles here and there but there is something about him that makes you stop and stare. Is it his eyes? Is it his phsyial presence that can make a woman go weak at the knees? I don’t know but these photos have shocked me to the core, he is very handsome before and after. That is all.

I thought I was looking at photograph of Paul Bernado - and u don’t want to know who he is.

He is NOT GAY. He is ALL MAN. Any Gerry fan will tell you to that FACT. SHAME ON YOU WHO THINKS SOOO.

YUCK!!! HE LOOKS WAY BETTER NOW……..

he’s still hott
MmMm

Dorie-somebody @ 11/26/2008 at 7:56 pm

People if you think disdain him enough to call him a ****, why bother leaving a rude comment? And how is he gay?? honestly?? If people go on calling him a man *****, it is really stupid to call him gay. Just look at that video on tmz.com making out w/that girl, does that answer your question.
Anyways no matter how many women he has dated, and even if people refer to him as a man *****, I just hope he finds the right woman and has a happy life, unlike his harsh years when he was younger. He still looks just as hot now, and his hair is inspiring hahaha, never would have dreamed he would have had that hairdo.
Yup, all this is coming from a 14 and 8 month year old, who fell in love with this man on a cold december evening at a movie theater watching and crying, during the phantom of the opera, when i was only 11.
Talk about weird.
sorry to write an essay but got sick of people only looking and listening to his actions or what they think of him, not knowing the beautiful person on the inside.
wow, i need to get life, i haven’t meet this guy, but o well, there is always hope.

Dorie-somebody @ 11/26/2008 at 7:59 pm

wow, holy crap i wrote a lot.

That first picture is the hair cut and dye job he had to have for his part in “Suddenly Last Summer”, and for all of you who don’t know , he doesn’t like the pictures with his blond do, he has remarked as much in his earlier interviews (He Hates Those pictures with Blond hair), but I think he will always be great to look at, you go, Gerry!

Hey Dorie @ 11/27/2008 at 1:08 am

Dorie-
Go see Twilight or something. Gerry is old enough to be your grampa and watch your language young lady. By the way, you are too young
to have fully developed gay-dar. Every body who has known or is friends with a g ay man, totally recognizes “gayness” in that old photo.

Tracy- Get over this fantasy life….you don’t know him.

Dorie-somebody @ 11/27/2008 at 8:16 am

The person who said hey dorie- yes, i am way too young and all this, i just had feelings for him cuz of phantom thats all, I don’t have like a temple to praise him, that would be really scary. But anyway srry I know ppl have gay-dar but i just don’t get it since he is known for being w/ a lot of woman. FYI- twilight was a bad movie compared to the books, but I’m not crazy for him, I just feel more bad for him than anything and he was cute in phantom until the mask came off.
i’m more of a big fan POTO.
Thanks for your reply.

Gerry looks a lot like a friend of mine in that early shot.

This other guy went throught a peroxide phase as well about 7 years ago. When he was in high school, he also had mushroom hair LOL! Bit of a chick magnet, always has been.

He has a similar piercing eye colour to Gerry as well.

How can anyone be a fan of someone who is a wh*re??? Yes, Gerard Butler is nothing but a wh*re, a manwh*re.

AngelBitch @ 11/28/2008 at 3:32 pm

I thought he was sexier then because I’m not buying this crap that men look better as they get older while women are said to hag out!!!! The growing chins, the face puffing out, the gut and gray. no. No. NO! I’d **** him in his younger days and give him a sweet hug now at the thought of what used to be but isn’t now.

truth hurts @ 11/29/2008 at 10:54 pm

That pic was NOT from when Gerry did “Suddenly Last Summer! Wow, they must believe that fangirls would fall for any lame ass story. Anyone can easily see that this pic was taken in the early 90’s (hairstyle, clothing, and certainly his obvious age). Gerry was almost thirty when he did SLS and then he did Dracula not long after, even then he had crow’s feet. Also, this is the same pic that Gerry’s handlers requested to be taken off his fansites but all the other shots that are (supposedly) from SLS are still up. Why, unless his people think that the pic (Marilyn Monroe red lips and a hairstyle beffiting of Nick Rhodes) would “give the game away.

He DEFINITELY got more ruggedly handsome with age……but seems to ALWAYS been CUTE, no matter what! Are there any childhood/baby pictures of this hottie anywhere???

My God! Look at his face.

He looks 40 years old in the blonde picture, and 55 in the other. WTF has happen? Too much partying? Far too many women…or men. Even Philip Symour Hoffman is looking younger than him!!

excuse me #53 (truthhurts) but WTF are you looking at? “(Marilyn Monroe red lips and a hairstyle beffiting of Nick Rhodes)” Perhaps you need to adjust the color on your monitor. And as a member of a fansite, I can tell you no one has asked that that pic be taken down.

But the real issue here…Who cares if he’s gay?? He’s still the sexiest man on this or any other planet IMHO. The only other thing I can say with any certainty is that he ain’t sleepin’ with me, so why should it make a difference to me who he is sleeping with?

HOT! I don’t like the blonde hair much…but he still was cute! Reminds me of a guy I dated in school…gosh I wonder if he looks as good as Gerry :)

Would it be blasphemy if I told you all that I can think of at least 5 male friends who I consider heaps better looking than this guy, including his look-a-like? They’re all in their 20’s too.

Shocked you are right. LOL He does look older than he is. Colette, I agree. I don’t see this gorgeous god of a man some here do.

dorie- do you sniff glue? The Phantom is a fictional character. Gerry is NOT the Phantom. If you think so, then you must think think that Keanu Reeves can stop bullets with his mind. at less than 15 yrs old if you think that a man who kidnaps girls your age and seduces them is hot, then you’re mental. Lay off the glue for a while.

“The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” (Isaiah 40:6-8)

“G-d has set forth in His word the conditions upon which every soul will be elected to eternal life- obedience to His commandments, through faith in Jesus Christ. G-d has elected a character in harmony with His law, and ANYONE WHO SHALL REACH THE STANDARD OF HIS REQUIREMENT WILL HAVE AN ENTRANCE INTO THE KINGDOM OF GLORY.”

Jesus said, “Not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN (Heaven might be what scientists today would call a parallel universe).

“Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.” (Revelation 22:14)

“Every soul is elected who will work out his own salvation with fear and trembling.”
“He is elected who will put on the armour and fight a good fight of faith”
“He is elected who will watch unto prayer, who will search the Scriptures, and flee temptation.”
“He is elected who will have faith continually, and who will be obedient to every word that proceedeth out from the mouth of G-d.”
“The provisions are free TO ALL; THOSE who have complied with the conditions will enjoy the results of redemption.”

#60 & #61:

We know the guy wasn’t born in a stable Bethlehem.

Read John 8:7

And that’s all I have to say about that. PERIOD.

Peace.

Gerard Butler will be a hotty when he gets in his 80’s. No matter what hair color or style. He will always be the man we think we know.
