Sounds about right, though? Too cold to keep surfing. Lots to do for next year. What at least 4 projects next year not to mention premiers. Looks like he's working there now for one those projects. Hope he survives the nasty weather that I've been reading about.

If Gerard shows up in Cali in the next week or so then most likely Lynette has a worthless autograph or taking the piss.
We are certainly not aware of any filming to take place in Scotland. Anon suggests PTF. Lyla says it has been previewed. I tend to think of that as test screening so maybe they thought they needed something extra or maybe there is a photoshoot or some such involving the Celtics if this has any plausibility though I thought they did that already and they have a whole match to take footage from.
Also possible that maybe Gerry has business in London and then was going to drive onto Scotland, nothing like a good drive to clear your head and I think the poor boy does need some head clearing and especially if you have the time.
However it would seem there is more to be done with Mavericks unless he is done or maybe he is going home now because he has to be back for Mavericks right before Xmas or start work perhaps on Thunder Run. My guess is that Thunder Run will all be done in a studio in LA. Maybe he is setting something up for filming in Scotland.
The other possibility is did he need to get home quick, one would hope everyone in the family is OK but you never know.

Veronica, Mavericks are traditionally at their best in the cold and cold never stops surfers. That is why they invented heated wetsuits. The problem has been the waves have been flat there not sufficient for decent surfing let alone spectacular filming.
I know that the organizers of the annual contest which has been postponed to January 1 - March 31 2012 are planning a day in December to get a bunch of the big wave surfers out just as a prelude to the contest.
The contest is called pretty much on 24 - 48 hours notice depending on the swell forecast. I imagine that the filmmakers would like to try to get some of that footage if possible or even just at some point when the waves are impressive if not the contest.
If Gerry is filming Thunder Run in LA as I think he will be next, they've already started the animation part of that film, been working on it for 3 years already he could be available for part of that window if they need him for set up shots because of course real surfers are going to stand in to surf the Mavericks when they are impressive.

Wow! Like I said busy. Now I wish he is on holiday break!! Maybe we are going through Gerry-withdraws with no recent pics of him.

Do you think maybe he just gave the filming comment as an excuse since he was sighted? Ya know, to get the fans or paps off his trail? I'm sorry, I'm just suspicious about EVERYTHING. LOL I think it's the "Scorpio" in me. I guess I'm suspicious about it because the last time he was in London, he disappeared for a week. We got the pics of him with that 'mystery brunette' outside of that London club and then that was it until he surfaced up in Santa Cruz. Could he be there for a personal reason? I'm not really sure what to think unless he REALLY is there to work, but the comment on FB seemed to indicate he was on his way to Scotland to see family and to film there (meaning in Scotland). So what is he doing in Strood or Kent or wherever that is? Hmmmmmm. I guess we'll 'need' another sighting to see if this was legit or what he's actually doing there!!

Which makes sense, unless it was HIS actual double LOL, so you have to wonder if that person thought that was Gerard Butler who was it really or was it the horse trainer LOL maybe he has a film going on in Scotland something to do with horses though I believe he is Irish, so in the step dancing guy or why would someone pretend to be Gerard or why would someone make up a post like that?

I'm more inclined to believe the poster was trying to make a joke or get attention from some friends. Make them jealous?
It would be sad if someone actually tried to impersonate Gerry and gave an autograph.

I watched a programme about a month ago about surfing competition invery hard weather conditions in Scotland!! I was shocked but they showed the place (sorry dont remeber the name). It's very important surfing competiton with high reputation among surfers. Maybe all crew flew to Scotland to make some scenes in extreme weather conditions? It could make sense because we got almost 2 weeks to Xmas and I dont believe that Gerry has already free time..  |

Could be the 'double' that they saw surfing especially if it was from a distance out on the water??? It does seem too early for him to be in the UK, but I'm more inclined to believe the UK sighting. Unless they ARE indeed joking about it, why give that much information about him on his way to spend Christmas with his family, etc?? It sounds like he had at least a short conversation with this girl. The only thing that will confirm the UK thing is another sighting and a pic which would be great.

well remember that Scots and Brits both seem to like to pull people's legs about sightings...we had a number of false sightings and detailed fake situations around this time last year too. i would be skeptical that this is real, just because of that.
also, if that FB person was telling the truth about "waking" Gerry, they would most likely have to be reasonably close, although probably not right up on him.

yes we had a number of Scots and Brits, some for sure we knew it was a big joke one does think maybe Gerard has a some cousin trading on his resemblance maybe to get free stuff because for reasons I'll never understand people will give free stuff to people who can afford to pay for it because they are famous.
Also too probably a lot of guys running around Ireland and Scotland with the same name. if not the same look.

yeah, neither Gerard nor Butler are uncommon in the U.K.

Now in terms of New Years, Gerry's friend Ronnie Madra who owns 1Oak in NYC is opening up a new club under the 1Oak name in Las Vegas and their big opening night is New Year's Eve. I am sure he'll be invited but whether he goes who knows.
