He was great in PS: I Love You!
i have never ever reacted on a actor like i do on him… he is just ahhhhhhh
no man that magazine has alot of workout routines,diet plans and a bunch of other stuff that is helpful
hehe he looked so funny talking about how tough it was. 😛 I mean I fully understand but his expressions some of the time made me giggle. ^.^
it may take tht long but the results speak for themselves dude lol
Lol I remember when the movie came out and everyone wanted to go on the 300 workout regime.
I’m sure for most people that idea lasted for less than 5 minutes.
I think everyone’s in agreement that Gerard Butler is one of the sexiest men to ever walk planet Earth.
OH I just want him!! That is a real man for sure <3
Gerard Butler, you don’t understand the hell I go through on rowing machines everyday of my current life. Hours and hours of hard rowing. Rowing machines are not your friends.
his accent is BEAST!!! and it just surprises me how much of a control on his accent he has for movies.
seems like a cool guy
*droll* I LOVE THIS MAN MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD!!!!!!<3<3<3
I keep on hearing “6 hours” from these guys for several (“several” as in 6 or 7 I guess??) months. 4 hours spent for the fitness and physique and 2 hours for learning how to fight like a spartan. Is that about right? Because I also hear this stuff like “12 hours a day” and/or “8 to 10 weeks.” Aside from Shaolin Monks, Mas Oyama, military, etc., I can’t think of anyone who would train for 12 hours a day. Is it more like 4-6 hrs daily? Please comment!
he should have played James Bond
Gerard needs to play a marvel/dc hero.
I would give anything to be just like him… He is my idol
The body building was not the entire six hours a day. It included learning how to use swords, shield, spear for hours every day; slow down the battle scenes in 300, so you can see that he learned what he was doing. He received a stunt award for his hard work training in sword, etc use.. That takes a lot of work to make it look natural. You need to cut back on the steroids, since you are not hearing what he is saying.
I am sorry you disagree Kiwi, but Gerard is famous for his physical preparation, whether it is sword work, learning machine guns for Machine Gun Preacher, learning at age 40 to surf, and doing it well, His trainer says he is a natural athlete. When he did Beowulf, he needed to use a sword, and the director commented that he came knowing how to use one. He overdid it on 300, and paid for it by having to take prescription drugs, and he just went thru rehab to help drop the addiction.
he built up for films that came out in 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2006. He has complained about the pain he has suffered for it. He said when he buffed up for 300, he worked twice as hard as he did for Beowulf. He also says he gets a lot of grief because he does not look like that anymore, or keep it up. interesting issue. He lost a lot of weight and looked thin and ill in part of 2011, but looks better now. A fun & interesting young man, & he makes me laugh; has a great sense of humor.
Ok, can anyone vouch for his comments about the rowing machine? I’ve always been really curious about that since he said it really put him over the edge. I never feel like I accomplish much on the rowing machine.
