Gerard Butler - Golden Globes 2009
Clean-shaven Gerard Butler hits the red carpet in a tux at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday (January 11) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 39-year-old Scottish stud introduced the film clip for In Bruges, one of the contenders for “Best Motion Picture - Musical Or Comedy”. Unfortunately, the film lost out to the Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona (Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem and Scarlett Johansson).
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Gerry’s freshly clean-shaven face — HOT or NOT?

Gerry loves all his beards.
#100 interesting and thoughtful stuff. Just my humble opinion, but I don’t think botox is like “work done.” My observation is that’s what we’re seeing here. Now here’s the deal… when you had your ears pinned did you do it with the knowledge that it might impede your ability to hear?
Injections have altered his look and taken away his expressiveness.
That’s a career problem. His flat aspect and insincere smiles, I believe, are a result of chemical injections. Smile wrinkles aren’t suppose to abruptly terminate below your eyes - it makes your smile seem truncated. I wish he could know that he can just be a great Actor and not fall into the Hollywood trap of facial focus and little else.
He has given up so much to get where he is. I just think he went too far here and needs to know it’s ok NOT to do this. He is gorgeous at any age and Hollywood needs to just deal with it. Forgive and support is good - but can some kinds of support be enabling?
Gerry definitely has had Botox. You would have to be in denial not to acknowledge something this obvious.
#99 - I heard they both cheated on each other….she was no angel either. I can’t believe people are still even bringing Bianca’s name. From the few photos of them together it didn’t like he loved her to me. He would walk ahead of her at clubs, drop her hand like a hot potato while on the red carpet. IMO if you really like/love someone you would want to be seen with them, not act all weird like Gerry does and hide his women. That to me is just immature and stupid. Unless of course he is such a dog that he doesn’t want other girlfriends to see him with other women. Who would want a guy like that anyway?
Damn Hot Gerard ISSSSS No matterwhat he looks like
what a awesome actor!!!!
To #102–Amen–Very good comments and questions. You are saying, I believe, that Botox injections impair GB’s ability to act and convey emotions.
I don’t know about that. I do disagree with one thing. Botox is definitely having “work” done, as are all cosmetic procedures, laser treatment, chemical peels, whatever, even if they are not as invasive or drastic as plastic surgery. This is simply another method of altering one’s appearance, usually to “turn back the clock” as people like to say.
About the ears, good observation. This was not done to look younger, obviously, and no, it didn’t impede my ability to hear. There was never any question of that. If there had been I don’t suppose I would have done it. You talk about ears being “pinned back”, which is a popular expression for what’s done, but folding is more like it. They remove cartilage, fold the ear and force the upper part of the ear into a new position. There is stress, bleeding and irritation at the fold and it can continue for several years. You have to be careful of infection, of sun exposure. No procedure should be taken lightly. My understanding is you don’t do some of these cosmetic operations before someone is fully grown. I may be wrong about that. But for a kid who is told “You have a pretty face,” but also gets nicknamed Dumbo by other kids, such operations can be life-changing. But no, this doesn’t involve the hearing mechanism.
This is off the topic of movie stars having “work” done, I realize. But I would like to see some of these stars who indulge in cosmetic procedures donate an equal amount of money to charitable organizations that help poor kids with correctable deformities far worse than ears that stick out or a few wrinkles. That’s my little soapbox here.

Sorry#102. I did not make it clear that from what I know procedures like Botox are not permanent. They can spruce up your appearance but it does wear off in a year or so and you don’t stop aging. In “knife” surgery you actually cut muscles and nerves and can create a sort of paralysis. But you still continue aging even then, and some movement can come back. The human body is incredibly resourceful at healing itself. I mean to say that I don’t immediately see that any procedure Gerard Butler might have had will permanently derail his acting career. On the other hand, some of his immature behavior could if he doesn’t straighten up and fly right. :)_
Too funny Jilliroo ! Yeah, I think Ole GB would agree with you about his propensity to self-destruct…. careers, relationships maybe. I think he does know his limitations tho and that’s part of why he remains essentially solitary. And being in recovery from so much stuff - it’s amazing he can even get out of bed.
He’s an artist and a great one IMHO and I forgive him all that stuff.
I understand the surgery vs. injectables contrast. I also can observe how prevalent it is in his industry. Lying to clients is prevalent in my industry and you can get ahead if you do it. If it helps Gerry get good roles I’d probably ignore it - but I just don’t see it happening. I’d more like to see him in roles of guys whose faces can have a few wrinkles - I’m sure we can deal with it.
Hey #10 Amen! You are still here! Bully! I seldom comment on these sites and mostly figure nobody comes back to see what anyone else said. I sometimes post questions asking people to clarify or defend their comments and don’t get answered. You said lying is prevalent in your industry. What industry is that, or don’t you want to reveal? Are you a politician? A PR person? Lying is prevalent in the world, I fear.
I got so hepped up by my own last comments that I just made a donation to a very worthy organization, Aloha Medical Mission. I know the doctor who started this mission, a brilliant man, superior doctor and talented musician, from the Phillipines. Doctors and other medical people go at their own expense to Third World countries, mostly in Asia, and do surgeries and medical interventions with the poor.
In case anyone wants to donate, it’s Aloha Medical Mission, 810 North Vineyard Boulevard, Honolulu, HI. This is a small but great charity. There are others. Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres) is a major one. I get many solicitations from others but I don’t know them. Cleft palate operations are a big thing they solicit for and I would surely give money for a kid to have that help if I’m sure the organization is legit. After all, someone helped me with a much less serious problem in my youth, someone who nonetheless saw that it could make a difference in my life. I know a lot of movie stars give money and aid to all kinds of causes, but if they could really get behind transforming kids’ lives BIGTIME with essential plastic surgery it would be wonderful. Awesome. They could change the world.
I don’t know whether GB does this. Some of his fans do charity work in his name. He seems mostly to party lately. Where did King Leonidas go? Not that we expected him to BE King Leonidas, we know it was a role, but he created the aura of a powerful man who was racing to do great things and even said he might challenge Ahnold for Govunah of California. So far we didn’t even get theRobbie Burns movie, we got a fashion model and Hollywood party boy.
No new Gerry sightings? Has he gone back to Philadelphia or is he still in LA?
Must have left LA - the clubs miss him.
He’s probably banging the last few chicks in LA before going off to film.
Well…there must have been a few new arrivals since he was last here.
Maybe he’s dippin’ into Maria Menonous.
Do you think he’s having a relationship with the blonde Danielle Robinson (part of the Evil Twin company)? She was with him at the Nim’s, RocknRoller, and GG parties? And if you take a look, she is looking very lovingly at GB in the GG pictures on the GALS website?
I noticed the way Danielle was looking at him too. Kind of gaga. She reminds me of a younger Valerie Gogan who played Charlotte in GB’s One More Kiss.
Could be dating Maria Menounos. Don’t you normally NOT want to be with someone you care about at New Year.
Good Lord..
If it is not one thing , it is another..
I don`t think Gerard would do any harm to himself, so what if he has.
Shouldn`t we let the man live his private life himself.. he is a grown man.
Wich is something you can see in the picture..
Think he looks amasing..

Looking at her face, I think Danielle could have a little ‘thing’ for him. People who work together often have the strongest bonds. Perhaps all she just has to do is wait until all the skirt-chasing is out of his system.
Danielle gets paid to suck up to Gerry….hence the googoo eyes. She is actually Alan’s assistant.
Maria Menounos is in a very long term relationship with someone and it’s not Gerry. Gerry PR person Joy looks at him the same way.
he is obsessing and preparing for his next role…
hence no sightings.
JJ
Find him NOW.
This is the third time I have commented on anything, now is the second time on this. Gerry has not had any Botox, all the wrinkles are there. If he has had his ears pinned back or not does not affect age. If compared to much earlier photos, he now has the perfect American smile, before there was no perfection but I loved the old smile more. I think maybe the shock of the clean shaven face which we have not seen in a while, is what may make him look younger. I am not an expert.
i agree with pafan,tiana and julie….the man is The Sexiest man in the world,wish he’d visit my neck of the world.love you still gerry
i agree with the world….Gerry is The Sexiest man, shouldhave been voted that title no matter if he shaves or not…..love you still gerry
I haven’t seen one Scottish man yet that wasn’t handsome .. and YES Gerard, YOU ARE VERY EASY ON THE EYES. Looking good with or without facial hair, and I love the accent.
BTW, we have the same birthday!
@Whatever: You reckon??
