Butler Turned To God To Kick Nicotine Habit
2 November 2008 6:02 AM, PST
Movie star Gerard Butler had an epiphany at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, Israel - but it wasn't enough to stop him smoking.
The 300 star turned to prayer after hypnotism and patches failed to work, and for a moment, he thought a higher power had helped end his nicotine addiction.
Butler says, "I'm thinking, 'If this guy (Jesus) can die for mankind, the least I can do is quit smoking.
"I really felt an epiphany was happening. I even thought I saw a light around me. Four hours later, I bought a packet of Marlboro Reds. Who am I kidding? I need a cigarette."
This is something i found on IMDb. I guess it's old news since he has quit smoking by now, yet i found it quite humble and grounded. He's simply human and i love the way he makes fan of himself !
