All good news to read. But he still needs to eat more cup-cakes!! Oh please no!!! During the Machine Gun Preacher shoot they bitched about his FAKE mullet as if it was his new real life hairdo. Last thing he needs is for the press to write about a cupcake tummy while shooting a surf movie. I trust Gerry's judgment and being a former surfing girl I say he looks fine for the role. I was skinny as hell but with well developed arm and leg muscles. I've never seen a surfer with a bodybuilder neck before!! That would be the absolute wrong look and make him look fake since you don't develop neck muscles during surfing. Do we want Gerry to perform at his best ability or only want him to look the way we feel is right? Great point!!!! Talk about slapping us back to reality with THAT picture!

Thanks Fifi for posting this... I don't know everyone, I like tux Gerry although I give him kudos for the weight loss, I certainly do want to acknowledge how hard that had to be. I just like a meatier man. I also have to say that he absolutely needed to look more like a surfer for this role.... Now about the face.... I can't decide if I like thin faced Gerry better or fuller faced Gerry? We need an in between Gerry. I have been debating the very same thing Dianne and while thin faced Gerry's eyes look bigger, I still prefer those chubby cheeks.

article from blogs.indiewire.com/thompsononhollywood/2011/08/04/golden_globes_lunch_gives_away_1.5_million_to_charities_film_schools/Gerry explains his svelte look and an interesting comment about a new project? " "Gerard Butler, looking very svelte for a new role in Curtis Hanson’s surfer film Mavericks, told me that his career is always twisting and turning. After doing a lot of action films after 300, he headed toward comedies, and then wanted to exercise his acting chops again in Machine Gun Preacher and Coriolanus, which will both play Toronto. Now he’s heading back toward big-budget action, he said. His 2012 releases are Gabriele Mucchino’s family soccer drama Playing the Field, co-starring Jessica Biel and Dennis Quaid, and Movie 43, which stars every working SAG actor on the planet, basically." All good news to read. But he still needs to eat more cup-cakes!! I'm glad others noticed that line too. I mean Mavericks is a sports movie/ drama/ bio-pic.... but big budget action movie? Not really... so I wonder what it is....

Great point!!!! Talk about slapping us back to reality with THAT picture! You're welcome. The press would just rather see this on a board for their own writing amusement I've seen big guys trying to climb on a surfboard. There was nothing more hilarious then the board sinking but really, do we want this for Gerry ............... I can't wait for action Gerry. I'm developing a Ken complex You're right, Tink. But if you look at Frosty Hanson.... His body is pretty much like Gerry's in this pic so that would have been more true to the character. Unfortunately as you say the press would have had a field day with it....

Do we want Gerry to perform at his best ability or only want him to look the way we feel is right? Gerry is looking noticeably thinner in these new photos than in the photo you posted. I think he looks FAB in the photos from Hawaii and Malibu while surfing I think he was at his perfect weight. But, I think in this video from the luncheon you can see the difference between the photos in Hawaii and yesterday. www.gettyimages.com/detail/120586444/Getty-Images-Entertainment-VideoI know the camera can put 10lbs on you, so I can't help but think how thin Gerry must be looking in person.

I'm developing a Ken complex I wonder if he burned those pink trunks. Even with the weight those were an unfortunate style choice.

I'm very concerned, I don't like his hair in these photos, and I can't wait until he's done filming Mavericks ... but I will NEVER EVER give up on him. I saw nothing wrong with the Barbados pics. He looks like a normal guy after a great holiday. Not a big deal, and the media shouldn't have made a big deal out of it. I hope the extreme weight loss is for the movie and nothing else. This pic is a little funny, though .... www.ineedmyfix.com/2011/08/05/gerard-butler-brings-the-awkward-to-hollywood-foreign-press-luncheon-photos/

Those pink trunks and then the Frosty hairdo ..... now that's scary. I wonder if they are going to shave part of Gerry's hair to get it right? Good one Tink! Good one!

In all fairness that Barbados photo that was posted earlier in this thread was the worst of the bunch; the angle was beyond bad and unflattering. Some of the others were better especially if you like some meat on a guy. And just look at those legs; my oh my! But I have to agree with Tink that he needs his new body to play the surfer even if the real character looked more like Gerry in Barbados than Gerry the way he is now. People and critics seem to always expect perfection from Gerry [both regarding his body and his films] and when they get disappointed they shred him to pieces. Very few will bother to look up frosty and give credit to Gerry for tryin to look like him. They will crucify him if he shows up with a surfing board and a less than perfect body. Tink was right about that. So he does what he has to do. I just hope that he doesn't take it too far. Even Greek sites which are usually indifferent noted today that he is way too thin. Like this one: www.zougla.gr/page.ashx?pid=2&aid=359247&cid=11"The famous Scottish actor, Gerard Butler, last year was in the magazines with the extra pounds he had "put on" and this summer he made this appearance. We hardly recognized "Leonidas", who was a guest at a dinner organized by the Association of the Hollywood Hotel in Beverly Hills yesterday afternoon. The 41 year old actor was photographed at the hotel entrance and surprised everyone with his new extremely thin look. Did you have to take it so far Gerard?"

Love this.... "Below the neck I have to say mommy likes. Gerard Butler is looking most delicious and cut. The color of that suit makes his eyes pop and my panties drop." Mommy likes!

www.popsugar.com/Leonardo-DiCaprio-Taylor-Lautner-HFPA-Lunch-Pictures-18595555Among the Hollywood Heartthrobs at the HFPA Annual LuncheonPosted August 4, 2011 3:10 pm by Lindsay Miller Several big stars stepped out this afternoon for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's annual luncheon. Leonardo DiCaprio, Taylor Lautner, Gerard Butler, and Mark Wahlberg all took the podium inside the yearly event. The lunch gives the HFPA, the voting body behind the Golden Globe Awards, the opportunity to recognize its officers and raise money for entertainment nonprofits. It wasn't only the men of Hollywood who were on hand for the festivities — Lea Michele, Elizabeth Olsen, and Elisabeth Moss also walked the red carpet. We had a chance to catch up with rising star Elizabeth Olsen, who told us that while it's too early to talk about Very Good Girls, in which she's reportedly starring opposite Dakota Fanning, the two actually know each other outside of work. In fact, the two met when Elizabeth gave Dakota a tour of her North Hollywood high school, where Dakota ended up going. We also chatted with Jessica Chastain, who costars in The Help, about the role. She told us her grandmother was a big fan of the book, so she's planning to bring her along to the premiere next week, and is actually a little nervous to see how she likes the big-screen adaptation! For even more of our red-carpet coverage from today's event, including our full interviews with Jessica and Elizabeth, stay tuned to PopSugar Rush.

Thanks to Mrs. Butler Gerard Butler Brings The Awkward To Hollywood Foreign Press Luncheon PHOTOS August 5th, 2011 at 9:56 am by Anne Gerard Butler Brings The Awkward To Hollywood Foreign Press Luncheon PHOTOS Gerard Butler brings the awkward to yesterday’s 2011 Hollywood Foreign Press Association Luncheon held at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Now before you send me hate mail and death threats (and get your panties in a bunch assuming they are still on at this point), what I mean is his stance is very awkward in this photo. Clearly it’s but a moment in time but it’s kind of funny. And awkward. I’m not sure how I feel about his hair. He’s growing it out and it looks like it got lighter. Perhaps it was from being out in the sun in Italy this past summer, but I’m not sure if it’s working for me. Is it working for you? What I don’t like is he doesn’t seem very happy. Maybe he misses me, I dunno. Below the neck I have to say mommy likes. Gerard Butler is looking most delicious and cut. The color of that suit makes his eyes pop and my panties drop.

He's got a mint or something in his mouth.
