Gerard Butler on nude scenes, tight buns and romance.
by Judi Davidson and Neva Wearing
Far from fighting Persians in 300, in The Bounty Hunter Gerard Butler is hired to take his bail-jumpingex-wife, played by Jennifer Aniston, tojail. URmagazine sat down with Butler duringthe making of the film, which hits Rogers OnDemand, Channel 100, on July 13.
Tell us about the film.
I play a bounty hunter, and the bounty is my ex-wife. I hate her, and all I want to do is take her ass to jail and watch her suffer. It’s Midnight Run meets The War of the Roses.
Did you train for this role?
I’m a beer-swilling, pizza-eating, waking up with French fries on my face [character]. I’m not supposed to have a fantastic body.
Speaking of your body, you’ve become known for your nude scenes.
I love to show my rear end. I’m thinking it’s becoming a bit of a habit, a bit of a tradition that I have to show my ass in as many movies as I can.
How do you keep it so tight?
Keep my ass so tight? I stick a cork in between there and constantly try to hold it in. No, I’m joking… oh, I shouldn’t say these things... I can’t believe we’re talking about this.
Shooting with Jennifer Aniston meant constant paparazzi. How did you cope?
Unfortunately for poor Jennifer, it’s a [relentless] road show. And then, of course, there were all the rumours about us, just because we’re doing a movie together. I’ve managed to have decent long-term relationships that nobody ever found out about. Meanwhile, apparently, I’m dating Jennifer Aniston... I’m working with Jennifer, so obviously I’m having a thing with her! They’ll have 10,000 photographers just waiting for that moment where we hug, or we look at each other in a certain way... and then suddenly they go, “Yah! Got you, you bastard.”
Do you prefer women to be mysterious?
That’s a good question. In the movie, we’re trying to figure each other out, but, really, we kind of agree to disagree – “I’m never going to figure you out.” But that’s what we love about each other. You know, men frustrate the hell out of women, and women frustrate the hell out of men.
You tend to play a lot of macho roles.
I try to play characters that are vulnerable or lost or crazy.It’s just maybe the macho ones that have been more memorable.
Memorable and sexy?
I’m just damn sexy. I can’t help that.
