Conan: My first guest stared in the movie 300 and PS I Love You, and beginning this Friday he can be seen in the new movie The Ugly Truth. Please welcome Gerard Butler.
Conan: How yeh doing? Thanks so much for being here.
Gerry: You guys can just keep doing that, and I don’t have to worry about saying anything I… I’m great.
Conan: Let me just start out by paying you a compliment. The movie 300 they play that movie, its on all the time, I always watch it, and my wife comes in and she really LOVES that movie and I’m always forced, always forced to say, “You know I could really do that if I really worked at it!” Of course I couldn’t, but uh… it’s an impossible standard you guys set for the rest of us in that movie.
Gerry: Yeah pretty much including for myself. Often people will come up to me and say, “You know you ruined it for me and now in front of a girlfriend I never look the same.” And I say, “Well what about myself? I don’t look like that anymore!” And you know, you see {mumbles} and you’re like whatever’s going on and you’re like should I explain this now? You know I’m not training six hours a day, or just before I take my shirt off…
Conan: Excuse me Miss what your are about to see might frighten you!
Gerry: I’ve sat by swimming pools around the world or on a beach somewhere and you know the person in going, “That’s the guy from 300, what’s going on with that?”
Conan: Things are going very well for you, let me ask you something, if…
Gerry: By the way… Sorry… You guys inspired me all over again so I have to tell you…
Conan: Washing the car?
Gerry: Yeah, washing the car… You set…
Conan: Feeling good though aren’t you?
Gerry: Yeah, you looked amazing!
Conan: We did that for you, we did that for you. You just flew in from filming a movie with the lovely Jennifer Aniston and it’s been all over the tabloids that you guys are together and that you are very serious. What do you have to say for yourself?
Gerry: Yeah, we’re very much in love and especially her and…
Conan: Especially her, right…
Gerry: And we’re making an announcement that we’re actually going to tie the knot next Tuesday or Wednesday… Thursday… One of those days.
Conan: Next Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday… You heard it, this is amazing it’s getting out, this is incredible!
Gerry: This Saturday I will be marrying Cameron Diaz… um who else… Joan Rivers will be next weekend.
Conan: Joan Rivers the following weekend!
Gerry: And so fill out the applications for the next weekend cause all comers welcome.
Conan: Very nice, alright…
Gerry: It’s not true, just so you know.
Conan: Yeah, I’m going to edit that part out… I’m just going to leave it at Joan Rivers, then you have a lot of phone calls to make.
Conan: Lets talk about this; you are - whether you want to admit it, and I’m not trying to embarrass you a sex symbol, women go crazy for you. Are you flattered by this? Do you enjoy this?
Gerry: Do I enjoy it? No… you know… no… I hate it! I’m above it, I don’t need it, I’m a serious actor… That’s what I say in public but I love it, I crave it, I NEED IT! It’s very important to me. Hey listen you would much rather be deemed as… but hey, seriously you want to go, “No it means nothing.” But you’d much rather be deemed as sexy than not. Like, “That Gerard Butler is so ugly, no charisma, no charm!” You know… um so..
Conan: Well what about, I would think, like family, you have friends and people like you grew up with, how are they handling it?
Gerry: They’re handling it just fine. They’re having a ball. My mother she can’t take the whole sexy thing too seriously, she’s my mum she doesn’t find me too sexy… I…I…I hope… but uh…
Conan: That’s not a thing a mom says a lot you know…”YOU’RE SO S-E-X-Y!”
Gerry: And my boys, my buddies from Scotland…
Conan: The guys you grew up with…
Gerry: My pals I grew up with, they can’t take the whole sexy thing too seriously. Actually there’s one of my buddies - a couple of years back, I can’t drink anymore but they do… seriously, and they are who I spent a lot of my time drinking with and having fun. Then my buddy was there and he was drunk and he was like, “You know what, I’m so proud of you Gerry, through all this success I want to say you haven’t changed a bit.” And I’m like, “Oh that is so nice.” And he says, “You are still a prick!”
Conan: Very nice, your friends they know the real you!
Gerry: Yeah friends!
Conan: We’re talking about the whole sexy issue that you and I contend with. But women now, woman I’m imagining are more forward with you if you get in a social situation is that the case, I think it would be true?
Gerry: I have definitely had my ass pinched a lot more than I’ve pinched asses deffinately…
Conan: Women will pinch your butt?
Gerry: Oh yeah, yeah, and I find there might be a little more space in a corridor and they still manage to rubbing themselves up against you to get past you. I don’t… I’d like to be offended, I’m not going to complain too much about this… umm…
Conan: It sounds fantastic!
Gerry: It is kind of amazing!
Conan: It sounds absolutely fantastic! Id be waiting for an elevator and a woman would just be rubbing her body against mine.
Gerry: Yeah, yeah, it used to be me rubbing myself against them but um..
Conan: I’ve rubbed myself against mannequins in department stores! So I don’t want to hear you complaining about anything! No ones around and I’m Grrrrrrrrrrr… I DON’T DO THAT!
Gerry: I do! Yeah well there’s a bit of that going on at the moment and it’s always delightful to observe but in a couple of years it won’t be happening anymore.
Conan: No, no, no, it will. I can see the future and it will. There was a picture of you a while ago in a magazine. You were with your dog and it was a very teeny tiny, one of those little dogs that you can hold in the palm of your hand. And I was, well it was one of those things where you’re a little surprised; big tough guy and you see this little dog. Was that something you did, you got that dog on purpose? Does the dog make you feel bigger, you the dog? I mean I don’t want to… you tell me… Why should I speak when you can speak?
Gerry: I well, I... cause I’m talking rubbish all the time so you should speak… No, I well... I got the dog, I got the dog before 300 big mistake… no I love my dog, but she was so tiny and I guess I didn’t realize that when she grew up she was still going to be tiny. But she was just the cutest thing, and I know you’re not supposed to buy, or get your dogs from a pet store but I used to pass this pet store in the Beverly Center and every time I’d go in I’d be like, “Oh God these things are amazing!” And there was this little pug one day and she was literally pawing at the glass and I put my finger - and she hasn’t done this since, but she had one eye open and her tongue hanging out and she fell backward as I, as I, she kind of put her paw up and fell backwards. It was all for show, and now she doesn’t care. So I got her out…
Conan: You never got the dog to do that again?
Gerry: NO! Never again, but um you know, I got her and then you know, 300 came out and it suddenly became a whole different kettle of fish, walking around with my little pug going…(the guy from 300 has this little thing).
Conan: Do guys give you a hard time? “There’s the guy from 300 with the little dog!”
Gerry: Absolutely, the same with the body, no matter what you do, you know, “There’s the guy from 300 and he’s not the guy we thought he was!”
Conan: You can’t drink a girlie drink, anything like that?
Gerry: No exactly, now it’s all changed. It all a pretense having to stay the man. No but she’s great, I’ve tried to give her away, sell her, but {mumble} nobody wants her they all…
Conan: What’s the dogs name? Is it Fufu-Belle, is that the name? You can’t even change the dogs name.
Gerry: Lolita.
Conan: Lolita…
Gerry: Little Lolita…
Conan: Now lets talk about the movie, The Ugly Truth. This is a wonderful movie, I got to see this last night with my wife, we both enjoyed it. You’re with the lovely Katherine Heigel in this film.
Gerry: Yeah.
Conan: You seem like you have a great chemistry in this movie and it looks like it’s a fun character for you to play.
Gerry: Yeah, it was a great role. I actually did another movie with the same guys who made this and every night we’d be telling jokes at the dinner table and he’d say to me, “Ugly Truth, Ugly Truth.” And I didn’t know what he was talking about until I read the script and I’m like, “Okay, I get it.” The character I’m playing is very much a jokester, he’s chauvinistic but its all for fun, he’s charming, outspoken and outrageous and that’s great for me to get my teeth into. I read this script and it’s hilarious and you’ll all go see it, every single one of you and then you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Conan: We have a clip here and I believe you’re asking Katherine Heigel’s character who I believe is a little uptight and you are trying to help her out to get her a man.
Gerry: Yes.
Conan: If she know how to flirt I believe…
Gerry: You saw this movie last night so he remembers more about the movie than I do. That’s exactly what’s happening right now in this clip, yeah.
Conan: I’m glad I’m here let’s take a look….
Conan: You should add her to the list! Add her to the list! The Ugly Truth opens Friday July 24th Gerard Butler, thank you very much, Gerry Butler.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I so want to do this man right now! I just saw the interview and I am in lust all over again!!!! If he pointed at me like he did at Lolita I would drop over on my back too! Hopefully he'd take advantage of me. I could close one eye and stick my tongue out to seal the deal if he would like.
PS I will get the interview and text up soon.
