Gerard Butler is one of the most beautiful men of the modern cinema."He is the best that there is in Scotland! "is pathetically exclaim fans of this two-metre green-eyed handsome.
In fact, among the modern movie stars quite a lot of Scots, but even among actors tribesmen Gerard Butler takes a special place. The fact that he was... beautiful. Very beautiful. Such is tall and strong, masculine face and a charming smile - describe their heroes of autarchy romance novels.
And since, in addition to appearance, the Butler has a bright acting talent in the movie, he is very popular. However, when he auditioned for the role of James bond, he was refused, the producers chose Daniel Craig. Butler seemed to them too beautiful person with such an appearance attracts too much attention and can not be a secret agent! But on the role of heroes-lovers and just heroes take it with pleasure.
Gerard Butler was born 13 November 1969 in Glasgow, Scotland. He spent his childhood in Canada, where his parents had a business together. Then the business collapsed. And the family, too.
My father left their mother with three children in her arms, when Jerry was only two years old. They returned to Scotland. Jerry, the youngest of three, loved his mother and tried to do everything that she was proud of him.
"I've always tried to be a perfectionist. He was President of the class, the best student of the school, then got a better job in a better company..."- says Butler.
School teachers had no doubt that this boy will make a good career.
Mom wanted Jerry became a lawyer - good job, nice work! and the son obediently went to law school in Glasgow.
He had no idea that fate had ordained him to be an actor. Didn't know what to argue with fate useless and even dangerous.
Butler graduated from the law with honors, he went to work in a law office in Edinburgh and... Felt infinitely miserable, and his life is devoid of any meaning.
He wanted something else. Not what he wanted for his mother. But Gerard long ago forgotten how to listen to their wishes and so accustomed to following only the sense of duty that I just didn't see a way out of the situation. He began to drink.
"At some point in my life I was not interested in anything but booze. Drinking almost ruined my life and destroyed my career as a lawyer. Very soon I was fired, and I was on the street with the red diploma on hand. Then I remembered that among alcoholics many actors, and decided to try it. So, on the other hand, if not for the alcohol, you wouldn't take that now I have an interview with"- laughing now over past misfortunes popular actor Gerard Butler.
Once seeing the film festival "On the needle" Gerard Butler realized that I had chosen the wrong profession. At about the same time from Canada came the news that his father is dying from cancer and wants to see her son. Gerard, a childhood torn apart by love for the father and resentment for what the father had abandoned them, yet could not stay away and flew over the ocean: to be near his father in his last days. My father died. Gerard returned to Glasgow. But to work at the same place just could not. Now Gerard already knew: "Dissatisfaction is a sure sign that it is time to change something".
He dropped everything and moved to London, where he hoped to find a place in any theater: the truth is, he never studied acting, but the texture of it was very attractive, and that Butler was perfectly aware!
"I'm sorry, you thought I would become a lawyer, but this is clearly not for me," said his mother goodbye. She, of course, forgave. But the first years was very upset for the unlucky fate of their child.
As soon as Gerard headed that way, which he was destined by fate, a higher power had mercy on him and then it just magically everything worked.
He came to the London shop, a well-known fact that there tend actors became acquainted with one of them - Steven Berkoff, who praised the outstanding external data Butler and have recommended it to several theatres...
One of which Gerard took, despite the lack of school and experience. He studied on the stage, and very successfully: see what a natural talent! Shakespeare, Chekhov, modern plays... Gerard learned to fence and dance.
From small roles he quickly moved to the main.
He had already impressed by the ease of transformation, he could play the villain and hero, aristocrat and commoner. Here are just traditionally considered difficult role of "little people," he was not given: the texture is not the same.
Apparently, the scene gave Butler the very meaning of life, for lack of which he began to drink... So he tied up easily and for many years doesn't drink anything stronger than coffee and Coca-Cola.
The first appearance of the Butler in the movie was unsuccessful: in 1997, it took on a cameo role in the drama "Mrs brown" John Madden. Gerard had a few doubles in a row to bathe in cold water, and the result of canadabut became severe cold with which the actor was hospitalized.
But immediately after leaving the hospital, he was offered two title role.
In the American historical Thriller "Attila" Gerard Butler played the legendary leader of the Huns, fierce brutal handsome. With a wily smile, blinked bright green eyes, looks Attila on his captive, and spectators glory delight and dream that it is their fierce Gunn moved through the saddle and took him to his tent...
In American mystical Thriller "Dracula 2000" Gerard has played no less than the legendary Romanian Prince-cronopio, and also, of course, handsome, only Gothic. From his icy gaze of the spectators were boiled blood. And when he slid through the crowd in a long black cloak, and when he extended his hand to the chosen victim, ladies in the hall was squealing with delight.
Both films impressed critics... But their opinion did not matter, because Gerard Butler won the hearts of the spectators. The first role he identified the sex symbols, created the clubs fans and started buying magazines, where there were at least a tiny interview with idol. Journalists began to interview Butler often.
The beginning of a career was launched. The ability of Gerard Butler to reincarnation in the movie was demanded even more successful than in the theater.
In the film "reign of fire" Gerard appears superplastically friend of the hero, sacrificing himself for others.
In fantasy "Beowulf and Grendel" he played a familiar role for himself a magnificent and supercrooo hero.
In the action movie "Lara Croft tomb raider: the Cradle of life" Butler played a great villain, and were very satisfied with this role. "I finished the bastard. Such a role could not be missed. He deceives everyone, including Lara. He even tries to negotiate with terrorists! Butler gladly lists the crimes of his hero. "To be honest, I'm a bit like him. The bad guy, but with a good heart".
In the melodrama "Dear Frankie," he has created a psychologically deep and complex image of a lonely and mysterious man, who one day agrees to play father to the little mute boy and husband to his single mother. A brilliant film, the critically acclaimed and kinaesthetic, for the Butler had deep personal meaning, because he saw it as the story itself, and in two guises: in the male, compassionate lonely boy, and very little Frankie.
"I, like my hero, too lonely. And I'm afraid external manifestations of feelings, afraid and at the same time, I want love, " says Butler. In addition, I understand and this boy, this kid. He long years of waiting for his father. I am familiar with it".
Another character that Gerard thinks like not myself, was Eric from the film adaptation of the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber "the phantom of the Opera".
"I'm a loner, as he says Gerard. You know, when I read the script, cried, and when I began to read aloud their role, my back seemed to run electrical discharge! "
The difficulty lay in the fact that Gerard Butler was not even "singing" actor. But the story of the Ghost so it was captured, that he began to take vocal lessons, and samples sang so well that he approved himself the author of the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Moreover, now its execution party Ghost is one of the best, and a CD with the soundtrack went even better than the DVD of the film!
However, many fans of the original were surprised that the role of the sinister and ugly Eric took such a handsome man. But the audience were delighted and surprised another: how Christina might prefer Eric is a great, passionate, mysterious! - fresh-virtuous Raul?..
Another role for which Gerard had a lot of hard work was the Spartan king Leonid in the sensational project Zack Snyder of "300". To play a mighty warrior, not subtle Gerard had to pump relief muscles, what is it a half year, every day, six hours worked in the gym.
"If I play a strong guy, I need them to be and not pretend to be them, " says Gerard. "Besides, I always wanted to doubles, looking at me, thinking: "Yes, this actor fucking cool! ".
The result still affects: Butler recently took second place in the ranking of the owners of the most beautiful torso, behind only Daniel Craig.
Gerard Butler is very romantic so that it may seem like a play on the audience, trying to make themselves more attractive in the eyes of fans. Though - so much more appeal? And fans he has, as counted no less than Brad pitt...
Moreover, he is clearly not playing, he really lives. Loves and honors the mother often visits her. Loves and honors his native Scotland, and also often visits her.
"When I return home and look at these wild mountains, before my eyes stand my ancestors, ill Celts in bear skins".
He even wears a kilt, and looks in this Scottish traditional dress is simply amazing!
Butler carefully hides from the press of his personal life. Of course, next to it you can see different women. But it seems that no one is permanent. And journalists Butler said that his personal life is his own business. All these ladies are his good friends. Nothing more.
Some particularly vicious journalists even let the gossip about the alleged non-traditional sexual orientation Gerard. He said he does not see homosexuality is nothing wrong, many of his friends are gay... But his sexual orientation is his personal business and he is not going to discuss it with outsiders.
"I have lunch with different people, with Jake Gyllenhaal, Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz - but it only means that I dined with them, not more, " says Gerard. - Really, if I go for a walk with the dog - it means I'm in an intimate relationship with a dog? "

All questions about the companion he turns everything into a joke: "no Wonder I'm single. I am never in one place long enough." Friends say that Jerry just so sentimental that he still believes in great love and waiting for his bride.
"Keep in mind that in life I am not a Superman on the screen, says Gerard Butler. - Yes and feats unlikely".
But actually one feat he has done, and in passing: saved a drowning child, for which he received a "Certificate of bravery". Sam Gerard does not like to talk about it - it seems ridiculous to call a feat that is bound to make every man: to help the weak.
However, not so long ago the Butler almost ended up in jail: smashed his face arrogant paparazzi. The journalists unanimously condemned him, fellow actors unanimously supported: many of them would also like to work the paparazzi, but not all can do it!
Now he meets with a former fiancee brad pitt - with the star of the TV series "Friends" Jennifer aniston. Or is not met?.. In the life of Jennifer men are changing with incredible speed. It will not find its ideal. But it is known that in the Roman period with the Butler actress spent 1128 dollars on the sexy lingerie.
"A very large period of my life around thought I was happy, but this was not the case. Now, when I'm really happy, I'm not going with anyone to share", "says Gerard.
Gerard joked that his only love is Lolita: so the name is a little mopsik, which Butler started a few years ago. The dog he loves to emotion, proud of her beauty and mind, so it seems - is how to implement his "paternal instinct" for lack of real children...
Other virtues, Gerard Butler still and humble man. Stardom he has never been. He generously signing autographs and always agrees to be photographed with fans, especially if fans are children.
