This article is a bunch of bull.  It is factually inaccurate in to many ways to mention.  Gerry is not a womanizer and in no way creepy.  Anyone who has followed GB and his career will find this article laughable.

I agree with Miss Victoria - he is in NO way creepy, I have no idea where that came from!  He’s a great guy and a very talented actor, and he’s very generous with his fans and the press (with the exception of the paparazzi-punching incident - he’s only human, I would have done the same thing!!!)  I’m a big fan of all Gerard’s work, and especially love the way he acts like himself when he does talk-show interviews.  What a great guy!

This is ridiculous fiction.  Simcha did very little homework in order to write this piece.  Most of it is regurgitated snippits here and there which came from tabloid garbage and then was twisted even more.  Keep your day job, Simcha, because you’re not very good at writing and you are very bad at research.

This makes me sad. Like some others I admired Gerard Butler before he came to Hollywood and no longer think I have a clue who he is or what he’s about. He says all he does is work, yet he has been photographed all over at parties, fashion shows, premieres and nightclubs, and with various women he claims he has nothing going with. He has a right to live as he wants, and have his privacy, but I don’t like his crass comments in interviews. We keep hearing what an intelligent man he is, but I never have seen that man. He seems silly and superficial, bent on the Hollywood playboy life, and where is the Burns movie? He has become tiresome. Same old story, too old now. He seems more and more like the arrogant prick some people who claim to have met him say he is. sorry, but I was a fan and am sadly becoming an ex-fan. He was interesting as a Scottish actor, but not as a Hollywood hunk, stud, beefcake with nothing of value to say about anything. What does he talk about except himself? We need a new hero.

I must agree with jaybird. I use to be a big fan of Gerard Butler myself, but not anymore. He swears a lot and he goes out with so many womens like there’s no tomorrow. I am so sorry for being his dedicated fan so many years. What a waste of time!

Jane, thanks for your agreement! I am outspoken and know others often don’t agree. I emphasize that I don’t know this man, I don’t know what’s true and what isn’t in what people write about him. Hollywood style “journalism” is a special form of cheap evil. I’ve tried to give Gerard the benefit of the doubt, but he gives much evidence of having “sold out” to Hollywood. I can only go by what I hear him say in interviews, and the way he conducts himself. What some people (mainly Gerry-smitten women) find funny and cute, I find silly, smartass, adolescent. The man’s nearly 40, for God’s sake.  As for movie stars to admire, remember Paul Newman? A different cup of tea. I shut up now.

I have been a fan of Gerry’s atleast since Timeline, and I am gonna agree with jaybird. I have heard nothing of his career but constantly everything about his sex life.. which unfortunatly now is his career.. he can date whom he pleases and do what he wants but he he is now to wish washy in interviews and constantly says one thing one interview and then the opposite in the next. 
I do not care about his age but I just find it disapointing how he WAS humble up until the 300. someone labeled him and his friends as playas.. but i say this… it takes nothing to play a HO…a real playa goes for REAL women… the girls swarm after him like flies on poo and that will last only so long and his fans that are in love with him need to wake up and realize if you are not anorexic, do not work on a runway, or have white powder dustings on your nose.. he aint interested. 
I wish he would wake up from all his debauchery and realize his career is going down.. the movies may make alot of money but his ability and talent have started to fade and he has no one to blame but himself.. 
It sucks to know someones potential then they go a blow it..
and oh one more thing..
I heard he was labeled the nicest guy in hollywood.. that is something not hard to achieve..

Might be wise to remember that Newman was considered a Hollywood hunk, in the beginning, who dumped his wife and kids for a “fling” with Joanne Woodward and could be quite surly with fans.  Life turned out differently, didn’t it?  Maybe the Hollywood press-of-the-moment isn’t the best judge of character, eh?

Gerry’s outgoing and social. But all the reports of him out and about tend to sift into a handful of dinners and nights out with friends clustered between projects.  Then weeks of nothing (or maybe he IS working?).  For all these supposed “relationships”  not one pic.  Not one.  Paps follow him night and day and other than the twisting by snarky reporters, and the constant reprinting of the same items over and over, zilch.  I know, a few grainy vids of him entering or leaving a club, picking up his car, talking to a girl or friends (with snarky narration of what they THINK he’s doing).  How about Cameron and Jen really are “work” related, getting together to talk about possible projects?  (Directors for chaparones?)  Not so “newsworthy” - let’s jazz it up. How about ONE dinner, with friends, with Cheryl Burke?  No “dating” - as she petulently made clear.  But juvenile minds need something more and the gossips are eager to provide it.  Small minds lap it up.

I’ll take Gerry’s open, friendly (at least til Hollywood got to him) personality, with or without the f-bomb, anyday.  The adolescent fans (in mind - not age) who can’t deal with anyone who isn’t exactly like everybody else - on a schedule no less - are best gone.  So go, already!  For ex fans, they sure know every detail and rant endlessly. Here, there, everywhere.  So find somebody who meets your standards and get off Gerry’s back - and ours.

who knew people felt so free to judge the pretend reality of people’s personal lives?  judge their work and leave the private side to them.

what would the public say if you were followed, photographed, or investigated 24/7?  do you think it would be an accurate representation of how YOU perceived your day?

ex:  you have a day off and are burned out from work, so you sleep late, check the mail and pick up the empty garbage can in your old comfy sweats, then pull yourself together loosely to go to your salon appt, then a little shopping and then the treat of afternoon margaritas and catch-up with an old friend from out of town that lasts hours with many snacks…  she calls her (gay) friend to meet you later, and he brings a friend and you go dancing long into the night, since your husband is out of town on a business trip…

now, instead the media spin is this:

you have slept all day after a bender and/or nervous breakdown, with proof being your unkempt, disgusting appearance outside your home (you KNOW the paps are there, how could you go out looking like that?!) then you’re off to another selfish, wasted day of pampering at a salon and more extravagent spending… followed by DRINKING and binge eating, in the DAYTIME with yet another selfish pal.  and then, the men show up, except you’re married, but that doesn’t stop you from dancing long into the night—your marriage must be on the skids, or does DH know, or worse, are you a “beard” for him and is this an arranged marriage?!

so much money to be made on conjecture and things that are no one’s business.  seriously.

GB is one foxy guy, and i’m grateful he’s on the screen, but what he does alone is HIS, or any other star’s business.  i’m just gently asking you to think about this, because all the media ruins lives from the lowest level to the highest, even when they actively court it.  not just their lives, but ours when we waste time thinking about it instead of our own. 

simply put… it is gossip.  : )

Its human nature to find ourselves free to judge celebrities. I work in movies & music & its stunning the things people will say to someone’s face - they think they don’t have feelings. Stuff that would make anyone cry. These are not public servants paid w/tax dollars, paid to hear what we think of them. They’re actors paid w/extra money we CHOSE to spend. If you don’t like them, don’t spend it. They’re doing a job. If we chose to idolize them w/o faults, that’s our prob b/c it isn’t true of anyone. So how about this: 1)A site called “The Frisky” is probably not the best place to find the truth; and 2)The real Butler is prob found somewhere in the middle of this nonsense. Also pls keep in mind that part of the job of any actor (& its widely considered the worst side of the job) is to meet people @ clubs & parties they might work w/in the future, & to keep their names in the minds of the public. Sad but true. Even sadder but nonetheless true is the fact that we have very short attention spans & the wretched tendency to believe everything anyone in the press says or writes. I don’t think he’s a real ‘playa’ (bad age & not that suave), but I think there’s ample evidence that he’s taking full advantage of his new found fame & fortune, as any male would when he finds women shallow enough to attach to his fame. (You get what you ask for, buddy.) He has also spoken in many interviews about his alcoholism and smoking, both of which are standard addiction issues. Coupled w/the fact that by his own admission he claims he’s terrible at relationships, & doesn’t seem capable of remaining monogamous past appx 9mos. I don’t think Hollywood is the best place for an addictive personality. He may be having an issue w/another addiction that he’s not facing (sex?). Look, I met him & I have a gf who . . . had a ‘date’ w/him—once, lol. Butler is a decent guy trying to make sense of the world like everyone else. Let him muddle his way through in his own way. He’ll get where he’s going on his own time, in his own way. Stop idolizing, stop judging.

I read all the comments….Liz, Gooya and Silliness seem to have it
right on. If you want a star without any fault let’s wait for heaven.  Down on earth, Movie Stars are a business.  They HAVE to get out and be seen about town.  How does that make GB a bad guy. He is just a regular guy who happens to be handsome, have a great body and amazing acting talent. I for one am so glad he made the scene. I think Hollywood was getting a bit stale until he exploded on the scene. I remain a diehard fan to the end.

I’m amazed that I am even responding again but I want to say that I respect all the opinions that have been voiced here. Liz, you’re right about Newman, but he did pull his act together fairly soon in his career. How can you begrudge someone one divorce? I had a very funny older friend once who said, you marry the first time to work the bugs out, then you’re ready for the real thing. This isn’t to say everyone should marry. George Clooney doesn’t seem the marrying kind and maybe Gerry Butler isn’t either. Let ‘em live their lives, yes. But I think Teej is right too. It seems as if fame and fortune and Hollywood has gone to Gerry’s head. Silliness says butler needs to make the rounds of Hollywood to establish himself and I’ve given him that forgiveness too. He is still not a household name in the U.S. and I figured he or his handlers decided he needed all the exposure and contacts he could get. But the problem is, what kind of exposure? I dismiss much of the gossip, but the reality is that in taped interviews he opens his mouth and ill-advised remarks come out of it that don’t square with his supposed reputation as a well-educated, really smart person. forget the swearing, which just gets silly. At times I think he is either naive or extremely calculating. I am just not sure which. True, he gets asked stupid questions by people who are mostly not trained journalists. But he goofs along with it. If he is really a nice, strong, intelligent man with a deep soul, I’d like to see him show that, not try to stage himself as a “bad boy”, which he does, and he’s too old for that role. I wasn’t saying he is too old, just that he is too old for such antics. He cast a big shadow in 300 and some of us expected him to fill that. Maybe that was unrealistic. Just for the record, I am an experienced journalist and I NEVER worked for any news organization that would print the kind of stuff the Hollywood gossip press prints. Some of this stuff disturbs me. I even wrote a few articles for The Hollywood Reporter years ago and I don’t think that’s a gossip sheet. Or it wasn’t at that time. Unfortunately, the Internet has given license to many people to say anything they like. And we are entitled to our opinions. I have said mine and don’t believe I had spread any gossip or rumors, just my thoughts on what I have seen. A fairly recent interview with Butler by a journalist who seemed astute said he could not answer some very simple, non-aggressive questions about where he is going in life, and what his goals are, and that he seemed lost. I hope this is not true. but he has admitted that he went to India after the success of 300 to try to cope with the sudden fame. I try to sort fact from fiction. I don’t hate this man. I wish him well. But he isn’t the sex god a passel of silly women worldwide seem to think. My bottom line is, women, there may be a man on the fringes of your life who would love all this attention and reciprocate it. Why do we need to lionize this very human man?

What really gets my goat is how quickly people go from adoring this guy to hating him for being human. Such fair weather fans he doesn’t need. I think what makes them turn on him, now, is the death of their fantasies. If the fair weather fans had bothered to take off the rose-colored glasses early on they would have seen that he is just a man trying to make it in a hard business and didn’t ask to be put on a pedestal. He did everything he could to please his fans and this is the thanks he gets. Typical.
It’s pretty pathetic that a lot get lead around by the nose by the paps where he is concerned. These people are in the business of making people look bad. Don’t validate them by buying into their clap-trap.
Gerry can be raunchy but he is also a sensitive tender-hearted man. We saw that before and it’s still there if you look for it. He still growing as an actor. He still has great potential. Instead of spending energy debasing him why not just wait to see his movies and watch his talent unfold?

ok everyone’s opinions on here i respect and everyone here makes sense.  if it came across as being judgemental that was not the intent.  but in re-reading what i said ok i went a bit overboard, but.. and i know you knew there would be a but in there..

celebrities, yes we know they are human.  the media, hollywood, and fans, and THEMSELVES.. makes them in human at times.  when you perpetrate or ACT like one way at one minute and then in the next you morph into someone else the next.  Then people (not all) start to look at you in a different light.  and it is not always the media that does this.. we know the celebs are guilty too.  they too use the media for their OWN GAIN!  but i too know if you or me were to be surrounded by yes people all the time.. spoiled brats we would probably all turn into..
now i have not ever stated that i am not a fan or completely disregarding him, nor have i put him on a golden pedestal.. maybe a lil ledge but no pedestal. 
but celebs tend to forget, when you are on the B-C-D-list and have fans and at that time YOU are being YOU, not because you do not know any better, but because that is you, people will form a view of you because that is what was given off. 
BUT… when the A-List is reached and Hollywood says you have to do this and do that, change what you say, change how you look and dress to get some place and to be FAMOUS, they now have placed themselves in a compromising position.  I want money and I want everyone to know my name, whether it be negative or positive.. you have now begun to sell a product and put it off as yourself. so when people act or treat celebs as if they own them, it is because the product that was sold was bought.  I am not saying that it is right, but i am saying all parties involved are guilty. 
so then you have to ask is it my job i want to do cuz i love it, or is the fame, sex, drugs, constant temporary attention, and money.. all things in which from experience can go up in smoke in the matter of a blink of an eye.

and unfortunately Gerry doesn’t seem to realize that statements about LA and the people,  how unreal and fake it all is and that you do not like it, but yet you revel in it when you go back there… hmmm
and why is it when in NYC or elsewhere i never hear anything but stuff about his work, the paps are in NYC also aren’t they?  i am confused
I very much appreciate everyone’s comments and it has given me a different view ..  and I plan on seeing rocknrolla this weekend :o)

Wow, can’t believe I’m responding, but clearly the thought is still: they’re actors they should conduct themselves better than others. They’re paid to A-C-T, folks. When Butler played Leonidas he did a good job making you believe he was “kingly”. That’s not real life. So? If you think it should be - wow, (not to be rude, but . . .) get a life. Further, pls stop believing what you read & hear. After working w/print/tv for movies/music for a long time, they all say what they want, edit what they want, & go to press w/what they think is “newsworthy” no matter what the truth is. Astoundingly they all watch Page Six of the NY Post for gossip - yes, they do - & they will go to press w/what they’ve read there as NEWS. They know everyone believes what they read & watch, they know once it’s said - that celebrity will spend the rest of their life defending themselves against their sometimes horrid innuendo. Perhaps 60% of it contains some kernel of truth but nobody has the time, energy, or money to pay all the attnys & legal fees it costs to fight the lies & 1/2 truths. One trial can take 7mos (if that fast) to prep, work on, be in court, & finish & that will cost absolutely no less than $500,000. Hear me - $2mil can be lost on 1 court case in 1yr. You can’t fight them & they know it. If Butler is not answering ques about his life, the way he’s done things, the direction he’s going, or whatever, to the liking of his fans or anyone else (like the reporter who wrote that drivel), it may be b/c the less said, the better. Or it could be b/c he’s tired of being reamed by his PR woman for coming up with sarcastic answers b/c he thinks those topics are nobody’s bloody business. They have nothing to do w/acting. Why should he answer these things? Maybe he was in a bad mood that day. Maybe his coffee sucked, maybe he had an argument w/a family member, or a friend, maybe he was turned down for a role he wanted, who knows - and why should we care? Yes, there are people I form opinions about, & maybe I shouldn’t - artists I like better than others for whatever reasons - but the truth is, they’re humans who have their daily lives followed b/c the western public is bizarrely, disgustingly voyeuristic. Own up to your own repellent behavior in all of this. I don’t want to know where Gerard Butler is going in his life. That’s HIS business. If he went to India ‘looking for something’, it seems he didn’t find it. He can join the long list of the ENTIRE WORLD of people who looking for something by joining one group or another, one religion or another (& start wars b/c of it too), read self-help books, watch Oprah, over eat, have anorexia, exercise, read romance novels, live in their heads, make their kids neurotic, drink too much, do drugs, or sleep w/everyone who crosses their paths. It’s a good thing the paps aren’t following them around all day. I’m not quite sure where I’m going. But I’m darn sure I wouldn’t have answered those questions either. May he come out of this a happy man. That’s all I want for anyone. He seems to have a job he likes & that’s 1/2 the battle.

I said I was through with this and there are so many valid comments I can’t. We are no longer really talking about a certain movie star but about a system.
I’ve been a journalist most of my adult life and have NEVER worked for any company that would publish unsubstantiated rumors, let alone rabid opion, about anyone. It seems to be the venue of the Hollywood tabloids. The Internet has given all kinds of people access to publishing whatever they like.
I try to ignore the gossip about Mr. Butler. I don’t know what he does or doesn’t do in his bedroom. I don’t know whether he is a nice guy or a jerk.
I do evaluate what he says in televised, recorded interviews. He is the only one responsible for that.
I was a bit disturbed when he won that stunt man award for 300, and the first thing he said was that if this award couldn’t help him get laid, nothing could. Robin Williams could pull this off. I’m not sure G. Butler did. Never mind that nobody would believe that G. Butler would have any problem getting laid. When an organization honors you for your work and this how you dismiss that honor, is that cool? I don’t know whether he had a date that night, but the camera focused on a young woman who looked very uncomfortable. If she was his date, I would not blame her for being pissed by those comments.

After the success of 300, he was asked what he was going to do next. He was clearly headed toward stardom. The only appropriate answer to such questions is something gracious and vague about how he was considering offers, reading scripts, whatever. Even if nothing was happening, he needed to step back and let them come to him. Instead, he blurted out a bunch of crap about how he needed work, how he’d do anything, how he even #&@$% a camel once in a film and how “that’s me.” Surprise. That camel-#&@$% footage was very soon on the Internet. To me there was nothing offensive about it, although I am sure it was offensive to some. I understood the story, but it was an early job in his career and not the kind of thing you bring up when you are about to hit it big.  He didn’t need to be begging for work and he sounded desperate for work. So I question the judgment of a man who is supposed to be so intelligent.

There’s more. Throwing candies at the audience at ComicCom, saying it was like Seaworld. Treating the audience and reporters like marine animals. I would have been offended. Asked what he was doing next he joked, “Halle Berry.” Come on, redneck, almost 40, grow the #&@$% up and show the big shadow that landed you King Leonidas. His countryman, Ewan McGregor, is touted as one of the great actors of the century, but has a family, lives in England, doesn’t give the press access to his family and doesn’t play the Hollywood playboy.

Butler has dropped other blather. He can’t shut up about himself. So much for keeping your private life private when you say and do just enough to titillate the public and the paparazzi. And giving us all the finger after the way our country has welcomed him. It’s incredible that so many women still worship this guy. He doesn’t deserve worship.

Wow. I read through these responses and I wonder WHY do people judge Gerard so harshly. I have come to the conclusion that it is because he is so down to earth and real.  He obviously grew up using expletives his peer group was comfortable with. I have never seen any evidence of him “thumbing his nose at his public” I think he is very playful with what he says. I think he says a lot of things just to be funny…some take umbridge with this type of answer. I guess they are looking for a movie star like the old Cary Grant who played the “role” of Cary Grant in his off screen life. Here I am not judging Cary Grant either,only making a point about how we, as the public, expect movie stars to “act” in public.
Why can’t they just be who they are and why can’t we just be OK with that.
I just saw Rock N Rolla this weekend.  I say, ignore the sour reviewers and just sit back and go for this great “ride”. I felt that everyone in the theater “got it” and applauded at the end. I enjoyed it a lot. I did not find it hard to follow, even though it was a bit complex. I think Guy Ritchie has made this film a part of his artistic vision. I say take it with that in mind and have fun.Theie is violence but nothing like some I’ve seen. It is fun and fast.The time just flew by. It left us wanting that sequel that they elude to in the end. We want to see more of Butler’s One Two. As a general rule these gangster types are so cookie cutter that you can’t tell one from the other, not the case in Rock N Rolla. I say this movie is a great example of why we go to movies in the first place, to be entertained!

Regarding the industry, I’ve been working in movies/music in a promo capacity for many long yrs. No less than Time Mag, the Int’l Herald Tribune, Acc Hollywood, & Ent Tonight (to name a few) have all gone to press what I can only call 1/2 truths. As I said, there was a kernel there, but it was not the truth by anyone’s accounting. I’ve also worked for stars who’ve been around longer than Mr Butler, actors who’ve won Oscars, Emmys, Tonys. My client & others suffered mostly b/c those outlets are respected/believed. To be fair, I think the editors consider ‘world news’ one thing but loosen their standards for celeb pages. (Keep in mind just b/c we SEE video, doesn’t mean it has not been edited to look a certain way. Ask a director, editing makes & breaks everything. lol) I agree re: Butler’s poor judgement & timing, not to mention immaturity of comments. Generally he’s a funny guy but if you do not share his humor you’ll find him tactless, flippant, or perhaps disrespectful. If you’ll allow me: I do think you might be taking him too seriously. I don’t care to defend him, but I have seen what success can do to people illequiped to deal, & lately the paps & press have shown little-to-no control/respect, & so get none back. It’s worse than ever for everyone to deal with. I think Butler might be trying to not take it too seriously for his own sake. Also, if you don’t get him, don’t watch. There are other Scottish actors, tho I’m sure they’re human too. James McAvoy is a great actor (married), as is Ewan McGregor. Ewan, tho spends mos away from his wife & kids while he travels the globe w/his buddy on motorcycle trips. Guess he’s not away from them enough while he’s filming. I like his acting & he has a good sense of humor. I just don’t care. And Kay is right: Butler has openly spoken to the gossip and said he has not dated any of these women, nor is he buddies with the men mentioned here. He lives in the same bldg in LA as de la Fuente, & he made a movie with Brosnan (but they don’t hang together). If you’d mentioned director Ariel Vromen as a friend I might have believed some of this junk. Btw, Vromen is the director resp for the short film “Jewel of the Sahara”, taken after an old joke in which a camel conspicuously figures, which might explain why Butler always refers to it in a laughing manner. It was A J-O-K-E. I saw “RockNRolla” several wks ago & thought it was fun. But I wouldn’t call Guy Ritchie an artist. His scripts and characters are cookie cutter. The only reason that movie was worth watching was b/c of the good job done by all the actors involved. They rose above the material, incl Butler. He usually does a solid acting job & is quite capable of doing a great acting job. I don’t know, it just seems that everyone: celebs, press, & fans; need to believe 1/2 of what they see & hear, & keep a solid perspective on life.

I thought he was smoking hot in Tomb Raider, started reading up on him and then I read his press interviews were he was talking trash about Angelina Jolie (his co-star) and how he didn’t understand why everyone thought she was so great.

People tend to fall in love/lust with the character and then are crazy disappointed they are not the same in real life. Case in point - Colin Firth. Dreamy as Darcy, jerk in real life.

Good eye candy, but typical actor.

I find it highly amusing on how everyone is jumping on the band wagon.  It does not matter whether you are a supporter of Gerard or not.  The truth is the truth, and the only one whom turly knows what is going on is Gerard.  The fact the people are willing to believe whatever another person will say about someone is just another proof of the sheer audacity of the media.

I wonder….what these same nay-sayers would feel like if the same things were said about them.

By the way…I have lusted after the Scott since I saw him in 2001.  And yes, I say lust.  Only a fool would love someone that they have never met, let alone may never meet.

That’s funny. Gerard suppose to have gone out with a Italian Cougar named Raquelia Fioravante that was suppose to be from Italy and born in 1961? I believe Fioravante is really Rachelia Leone from Levittown Pa. born in 1954 in Bucks County Pa. She was a local artist for awhile in Pa. before moving to Del Rey Beach Florida. She does massage by trade I believe. So Funny!
