DJ: Gerard Butler your on the air with John Jay and Rich.
Gerry: OH MY GOD, I…I…I’ve never heard anything like that before that is insane….ummm… Hello.
DJ: Hello, look at all the cool stuff you’ve been part of already.
Gerry: I…I…I t-tell you, it was a cross from being amazed by how much work you put into it and wonder if I’m the worst actor on the planet.
DJ’s together: You’re awesome…No you’re real cool!
DJ: We had you on our program once and I think it was right before the 300 opening you were at the airport going through security check-out on your cell phone. You were on the phone with us and you had to turn of the phone to go through security check-out and then you called us back and you had trained in Tucson we were in Arizona we were in Portland and Arizona Springs we were in Phoenix and Tucson and you had trained the guy at Brendan Ranch.
Gerry: Brendan yeah.
DJ: Yeah, so we were all excited we had Brandon on and we had you on and it was just.. it was just kinda cool because since then I had seen you in Phantom of the Opera but I didn’t know you that much and then I see 300 and I see you everywhere dude so its kinda cool. So I’m like, “Yeah, I know that guy I know the guy that made those abs."
Gerry: Ha! I remember that, I remember that, that was Brandon my training officer. That’s right, oh my God this is true, but I have to tell you I can’t believe you guys did that, it’s awesome, nobody’s put in that kind of work for a…a…a…radio interview so thank you that was umm… that was very, very cool.
DJ: that would be really cool then if you were around town if you could pop into the studio and you’d know that we care about Gerard Butler.
Gerry: Exactly, I wouldn’t miss that I would be there. I’ll be there with bells on I swear.
DJ: I like the way you attach yourself to these really cool movies. I don’t know if you know how big they’re going to be like the Beowulf and the 300 just these epic sort of bad ass movies that’s…What gives you the instinct to go for something like that?
Gerry: Well my instinct is going with something that could be real cool and real have a powerful message lying beneath it especially when it comes to those epic style movies where whether its Spartans or Vikings… and their kind of… it was all… it was kind of fantasy that I..that I kind of dug when I was a kid. It’s been fun too.. kind of fun to delve into that, and never thinking they were going to be big. I never thought Beowulf was going to be big.
DJ: <breathy female> it was massive.
Gerry: It was more of an art house movie, but yep 300, I hoped that it could be ground breaking and big and all at the same time and it was so… It’s more exciting to takes risks though I think. T…t…to do movies where you think you have no idea then play it safe where you have no idea really and at the end of the day if you being <mumbles> how they’re going to turn out.
DJ: I guess you can’t do a sequel to 300 but has anybody talked to you about a prequel and then what would you call it?
Gerry: They have actually talked about a sequel as well which I umm… I really don’t know what they’re going to do ummm…. A prequel, what would you call a prequel?
DJ: That would be like 250.
Gerry: 250 umm no in actual fact it would probably be called 10,000 because apparently there were 10,000 but only 300 marched to the Hot Gates which they were called.
DJ: But lets say you were going to do a sequel though and lets say you were all excited and they said they were going to give you twenty million dollars to do a sequel would you kind of go because I’ve been working out lately for the last year or so pretty heavy and you know how hard it took because I saw the video where you took those big old tires and flipping over the tire and jumping into the tire and jumping out, I mean would you be like, “I have to do that again?”
Gerry: Yeah I would be <mumbles> and I don’t think I would be and I…I…I… don’t think I would be capable of doing what I did in 300. I just did it for another movie and after that not quite as intense. But 300 I have to tell you I gave…I…I…I felt I gave so much to that…I kind of burned myself and to be that size and to be that strong…ummm…never again..not like that.
DJ: Hey, what is Rock-n-Rolla about?
Gerry: It’s a…It’s a Guy Richie film umm if anyone has seen snatch or knows about Lock Stock you will know. It’s kind of hard for me to explain how the story goes because it involves a few different strands and it involves some different gangs from the criminal element of London and we play actually a bunch of good guys called the Wild Bunch up to some various different activities, some legal some illegal. But in the beginning of the movie we are messed over by ummm…you would describe them as the villain I guess Tom Wilkinson. We spend the rest of the movie trying to dig ourselves out of the hole by ripping off other people who then blame other people that aren’t us and then of course we get ourselves in all kinds of issues. It’s a very, very funny film just a hard movie to describe.
DJ: Oh right, just like snatch. I thought snatch was so great and I still really cannot talk about it was just really cool.
DJ: that’s true it just had a cool vibe to it all the way through. It just interconnects in its own little way. I think that’s where the Guy Richie stuff or the films that he does just are the coolest.
Gerry: Exactly. That’s what makes it great but it is also what makes it very difficult for an actor or one of the actors in it to actually tell you what it’s about. <laughs> Every time someone says tells us about Rock-n-Rolla I kind of like, “Oh God here we go. How do I get through this one?”
DJ: Well is it bloody?
Gerry: It’s pretty bloody but the least bloody of all his movies. If I look back there is a fair amount of violence in it…ummm…It wouldn’t be Guy Richie if it didn’t have that but it’s done… but I have to tell you I don’t think there’s any violence in it that isn’t very funny, very kooky, and weird. There’s the longest most insane chase sequence that I think you guys will appreciate and…and a very strange dance sequence I’m in with Tandy Newton that I can’t say whether it’s the coolest thing or just the worst or most embarrassing thing I’ve ever been involves in other than the various clips you just played there.
DJ: Those are all cool man, you should be proud of those.
DJ: Do you know there’s a group of women called Arizona Tarts and they’re Gerard Butler fans and they are going to and all the Arizona Tarts are gathering this weekend to go to see Rock-n-Rolla.
Gerry: <Laughs> Well uhh.. I…uhh there…there…that’s the name for the members of Gerard Butler Dot Net Fan Club and they call themselves Tarts part means Tarts and part means Tartans Scotland and they’ve been …umm… they’ve been probably my most devout fans they’ve been going since I been <mumbles> They had conventions all over the world. They’ve had them in Glasgow they’ve had them in Arizona and they’ve had them in Colorado and they do a lot of charity work they are really amazing people. It’s a big honor to have those guy support me I
DJ: When do you think that started, did it start with Phantom?
Gerry: No I think it originally started with Attila the Hun, which you played a little bit from ummm when my Scottish accent was a lot thicker than it is now. I Think that um.. I played those roles and people are like they go, “Oh God that’s awful!” or they’re really get into it.. if you..if you get touched by something and epic character like that and its normally pretty powerful but I think that it got much bigger with the Phantom of the Opera definitely.
DJ: Hey what’s it like Gerard Butler? Cause you’re like Gerard Butler you’re like this big sex symbol…<mumbles> but we figured it out there is the Paparazzi and a big picture of you with Jennifer Aniston right? And its like you Jennifer Aniston and some dude and we’re like it was probably a business meeting and they’re planning a movie together or something but all of a sudden its like Gerard and Jennifer Aniston.
Gerry: <talks off the phone..garbled> What’s it like being like that?
DJ: Okay who did you ask to do you a favor? Are you in your bedroom right now…?
Gerry: <Laughs> NO! I’m in my front room.
DJ: Where are you?
Gerry: It’s too long a story…too long…
DJ: Was that Jennifer Aniston in your front room. <girl> Yeah you got to tell us! Just tell us who you’re talking too just paint a picture for us… come on it’s a radio show you have to paint a picture..<Girl> Ut oh…unless its someone he can’t talk about.
Gerry: Uh know…I can’t….I can’t… I hate doing interviews first with anyone in the room because I feel like they’re listening and I…I…I hate listening to myself and I hate that anyone is close to me listening.
DJ: So did you just ask Jennifer to leave the room?
Gerry: <mumbles> Ahhh…do you want me to go away?
Dj: So You’re moving them out…that’s awesome… So were you getting rid of them so you can tell us the real deal about the meeting?
Gerry: <Whispers> Oh yeah so I am seeing Jen Aniston…No, no, no… no I’m joking I am not. So its umm no its not true at all. Actually that rumor came from a seven minute conversation at the Toronto film festival. We both have the same agents and we were at the same party so they said, “Hey guys say hello to each other.” So we said Hello and the next day it was in the papers that we were seeing each other.
DJ: Okay, so what about Shana Moakler? Cause I saw picture…<guy> yeah you guys were making out!
Gerry: No, no…you never saw pictures of that..
DJ: I swear…
other DJ: It doesn’t matter.
Gerry: You may have seen pictures but you didn’t see them of us making out. I have known Shana since 2000 we used to all hang out in the same crowd but actually the opening night and it was the first time I had seen her in three years.
DJ: < Mumbles>
Gerry: That’s the thing you said you saw pictures then you turn it into pictures of us making out. We never made out and you never seen pictures of it so that’s how these rumors start.
DJ: I did in my head. So you advanced to make out…I liked you and Jennifer Aniston together that works for me. Well Cheryl Burke, I know you had something with her. Do you still live in the same complex as her because we had her on the other day?
Gerry: No, no, I bought a house just to get away from Cheryl Burke.
DJ: Oh you’re silly.
DJ: Thank you Gerard Butler.
This was hard to find a link and get it to work... I will give you this link but you will have to scroll down to find it.... October 31. As of tonight it is number 15....
