Gerard Butler Salutes the Youth

Actor Gerard Butler attends The 23rd Annual “Salute to Youth” Benefit And Venetian Masquerade at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Thursday.

At the benefit, Gerard presented an award to honoree Ryan Kavanaugh.

Gerard has been rumored to be dating Dancing with the Stars‘ Cheryl Burke, but she shot down those rumors on Ryan Seacrest‘s KIIS-FM morning show.

The 38-year-old actor can be seen this October in RocknRolla as One Two, a street-smart mobster who runs a real estate scam that makes millions and draws the attention of London’s criminal underworld.
