OlderGerard Butler is Brooklyn Buff
Gerard Butler puts his hands up on his hips (because when he dips, you dip, we dip) as he shoots his new movie, Bounty Hunter, in Brooklyn, New York City on Monday morning (June 15).
The 39-year-old Scottish stud saw The Hangover earlier this month and told NYMag:“I’ve got to tell you, it was kind of crazy, but a lot of the stuff that happened in that movie I’ve been through myself. That sounds like a huge exaggeration, but it’s really not.”
He also explained he’s never been to a bachelor party that was not bacchanalian: “They just don’t want to face it. But if they were honest with themselves, they’d go, ‘Oh, you know what? They were f—ing chickens.’ That’s why the chicken was in the movie, by the way. They couldn’t go that far, but I have no doubt they were f—ing chickens. (pauses) My career just went down the tubes, eh?”

@Justin:
Give us more details please Justin!! Congrats to you!!!
Pafan, he is not well known by the masses. Most people don’t know the name of “the guy in 300. BTW did you ever think that it isn’t HIM who is so interesting on these sites, but his loopy fans? Most journalists have covered the fansanity and it gets more and more entertaining - like the latest loopy lunatics wanting to read his palms from photos. If you stepped away from your computers a little you’d see how mad that looks to the rest of the world. Everyone is having a good laugh about it and it is NOT helping make your idol respected by the industry. What they have to pay for extra security to protect him from you while he’s filming makes him an “added expense” they don’t need.. They don’t like paying extra to protect a B-lister who isn’t bringing in the box office. So all the organized stalking isn’t helping him.

G keeps yawning in these pics.The boy should get some sleep!!
#152: I think you hit the nail on the head. This so called “publicity” on sites like this only make him look like an idiot. It doesn’t help his career at all. What counts is the money at the box office.
And to these lunatic stalkers who say he’s been so nice and funny to them when they haunted him on set the other day: of course he had to accomodate you with dozens of peple around watching. What else could he have done? If he hadn’ t walked over everyone would have said he was **** ignoring his fans. But that doesn’t mean he liked it at all. I bet he was embarassed as hell knowing that his crew would be teasing him about his fangurls afterwards. When will you finally realize you’re not doing this guy a favor with set visits and pathetic posts? And don’t even get me started on that manipulated vote. If you all love that guy so much, then let him be and buy tickets to his movies. That’s how you can really help him.
I too read the GB threads - not for Mr. Butler himself , but because it is the most entertaining cyber soap of them all and the best thing on JJ! The demented and loopy fangurls v the rest of the world, all out there to protect their idol.
I am sure that years ago, GB’s team looked at the options and decided that they could launch him from being an interesting new actor to an A list celebrity (with all that that might bring for GB) and realised that in an internet age when the whispers online and the power of a thousand blog sites, that the fans and the detractors could do, for nothing, what millions of dollars might not achieve in PR hours and old fashoned publicity. We are in an age of internet stars, nobodies who become famous just for being famous, where talent is secondary and celebrity is all.
I guess, IMO, that somewhere along the way, GB lost track of what is fantasy or reality to him - and gave up ‘his joy of acting’ to do a raft of dreadful Hollywood pap! - but nevertheless, he gets his money, all the benefits, and the attention which he surely does crave - so he may have achieved what he needs in his life anyway.
But watching the whole show on JJ and the numerous other sites has to be the best giggle in town - he always seems on a precipice of near disaster - lurching from on idiotic gaff to the next daft moment, saved each time by the attentions of the loopy fangurls - when you hear that they manipulate popularity polls, even now intend to raise the money to fund his movies (’Burns’ in the UK), as well as the nausiating conventions, planting forests in his honour, and fangurl tours to wherever he might be, and the fact that they like to be known as Gerry Butler’s ‘tarts’ (something to do with tartan I suppose) - its all to funny. SO, I’m here not for the man himself, but to watch the show - long may it continue, the biggest laugh on the web.
PS: JJ, a suggestion, could we have a theme for the GB threads - TMZ has their own little song for him - I am sure that you could create something? It would be so cool!
I absolutely agree with you. This is probably the best show on JJ, LOL. Even when Butler actually manages not to make a fool of himself, his fans will. I guess nobody would talk in these threads about completely boring pictures if it wasn’t for the fight between the fangurls and the haters.
And the most hilarious thing is, as someone has mentioned along the lines, these fans are always telling people here who only TALK about him to leave him alone and that his life was none of their business. Yet these very fangurls are the ones who actually STALK him, disturb him at work and get on his nerves with enforced conversations and picture taking. So who really needs to leave this man alone, I wonder?
was the new thread taken down? Did anyone catch the video that was uploaded? Was it bad? JJ took it down so quick. strange!!
What video?
Justin - do tell more about your being in the band during filming.

StinkyLouise Rules!
Hey! Thanks! But I can’t take all the credit. You’re only as good as your material. And G provides plenty. 9 threads on JJ in less than three weeks. I think that’s a celebrity record.
OMG he is so dreamy!!!
Man oh man, I swore I would give up posting, especially since there is nothing new. But I can’t help a peek after a month away. #155 and #156, you are right on. It’s been a puzzle to me all along why an actor who hasn’t seemed to pay his acting dues in Hollywood suddenly had this crazy rush to celebrity. I always said it was a hardcore PR campaign to create a star out of marshmallow fluff and the 300 muscles that no longer exist. Brad Pitt didn’t rise that fast. I find it funny that Butler confessed somewhere to having “media training” because of his outrageous stupid quotes, wondered about that since this man who has been touted as so well educated and highly intelligent seems to blurt out stupidity and gross comments and put his foot in his mouth at every opportunity and I just didn’t get it. Where is the brainy guy who talks about his soul so much? Where is his soul? This doesn’t mean he isn’t an attractive man, fangurls. But he seems not to have learned yet that with all our espousing of freedom, Americans are a conservative lot. What we tolerate and what we actually respect are two different things. Right now I’m scheming about how I can get my 15 minutes of fame and a pocket of $millions for doing something outrageous and as little as some big stars do to get media coverage.
Incidentally, the appropriate punishment for men who f… chickens (:)) if that is even physically possible, which I doubt, would be to get f…d by a drunken bull elephant at an elephant bachelor party. Now there’s a story!
Guess this thread is dead. Normally, when I am the last comment on a thread, I don’t add. Just want you to know, fangurls, if you come back here, I ain’t an enemy. GB is still a very good lookin’ dude, aging well. Hey, if any of us had that many photos snapped in all kinds of conditions, we’d be lucky to get 1% good. I also think he’s a good person at heart. Just seemingly carried away by fame and fortune, which is distressing, because some of us expected more of him.
@curious cat: You are one smart cat !
Blessings
GO go :)))
