Gerard Butler: Reebok Hightops Hottie

he is a high school graduate and he has a graduate degree. He is philosophical and she is self-indulgent. I can’t imagine what a conversation between the two would be like.
**********************************
For his good education and post grad law degree I dunno Manless. I don’t think a conversation with Nippy would be any less substantive than one he’d have with any of the stick insects he cycles through his life. I give him credit for his intellectual pursuits of his youth, but that was a loooong time ago. He’s dumbed himself down to the lowest common denominator in Hollywood; he fits right in. I bet he’s just as self-indulgent as JA really, just IMHO

@ amen
I think good scripts nowadays are few and far between and are offered to much better seasoned actors like Russell Crow, Tom Hanks, etc. I loved The Jury and Mrs. Brown, although the latter didn’t showcase too much of Gerry’s talent with the role he had. Apart from Burns there doesn’t seem to be too many good Scots around that he could play. I guess time will tell where his career takes him; I really don’t think The Bounty is going to help him, and if Aniston uses him as her fall guy he may end up regretting the day he ever took the role.

I dont think Buts is gay but i also dont think he has some mystery chick.
I think that he and The Man are for real.

@sugar. who is together? This thread has lost its thread as all do finally. I can’t see LAC saving GB’s career. It seems like just another bomb-filled action flick maybe a step above “Gamer.” Face it. He is starting to look the same in every movie and grunt out the same role with the same facial expressions.

@sugar
Butler or John Mayer? John, PLEASE take her!

perez confirmed that jen and gerry are together. He might make a mistake about castro because that’s politics. But we are talking about Hollywood which is his area of expertise if you like

Oh my. Perez confirmed it? What has that loser confirmed that was true? JA and GB may be together, but I’m not going to believe anything he confirms. These sites breed off each other.

I’ll wait till I hear it out of Gerry’s mouth.

come on people lay off me. Why are these rumours not dying down. There is always smoke to every fire!!!

if you’ve forgotten why you fell for gerry this should remind you

Why does everyone seem to “assume” that Gerry is dating Jennifer Aniston. Because it is proclaimed in a gossip rag, such as the Star and others (and most especially Perez Hilton), that actually is more of an indication that it is NOT TRUE than being true. Has anyone actually seen them out together, other than on the movie shoot, or in the case of being at dinner with a whole group of people, never alone? Although Ms. Aniston has not ever denied a relationship other than a working one, it is so obvious that she has been riding on the heels of Gerry all this time for PR purposes and nothing more. She does this with every costar she makes a movie with, insinuates herself as being coupled with them, just for the publicity it gets her. She cannot seem to get any substantial PR just on her own merit, she has to ride the coattails of someone else. Gerry, on the other hand, has denied multiple times (I lost count around 11 or 12) that there is anything between them other than friendship and a working relationship. He has also said that he is not ashamed of her, and would admit it if he were dating her. He has no reason to lie about it. And the idea of him holding off anything until after LAC premieres, to fool his fans is utterly preposterous. Gerry has alway said and done exactly what HE wanted to, not what his fans wanted him to do. He’s not one to let his fans dictate his life. It’s clear that they became good friends while making “The Bounty,” but it’s also clear that that is all they are. Gerry has been seen with other women in the interim, and his KNOWN association with her since the movie has been very minimal and obviously related to movie business. As for him going to a barbecue at Courtney Cox and David Arquette’s house…he has been friends with David for years, has mentioned him before, and apparently was not there with or for Aniston, as he said in one of his press junket interviews for “Gamer” that he actually left the party for over an hour and took a walk on the beach, running into Justin Timberlake. That doesn’t sound like someone on a date with Aniston, or anyone else. Gerry has many friends that he associates with, and in reading interviews with HIS OWN WORDS, and hearing recorded interviews, this includes Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore among others, and so many of the Hollywood A, B and C listers all run in the same circles, so naturally, he’s going to be in association with a wide variety of people, as he seems to be popular enough now to be asked to various functions around both Hollywood and New York City, but none of it is indicative of him “dating” Jennifer Aniston or anyone else in particular. Gerry is just having a good time with his life now, he can afford to do that. He’s off and running in all different directions, with no real committments (as indicated by his flirty nature, and being reported here and there with various women, and not one in particular). None of us really know the real truth about Gerry, NONE OF US, and we probably never will. But in going by his own words and denials on the Jennifer Aniston issue, I think it is pretty safe to say that there is nothing there of any serious nature, and that is going by what he, himself, has said numerous times over the past weeks. I’ll take his denial as the truth, not Perez Hilton’s proclimation of anything. And certainly not the gossip mongers who seem to want to keep this thing going when there is nothing there to substantiate any of it. Take your best shots, folks, I know you are going to. I really don’t care, you peopel mean absolutely nothing to me. But I’m entitled to what I think the same as anyone else, and apparently I’m the only one that gives a damn about anything. At least I don’t have such a miserable life as to constantly attack someone just because they like Gerry and are not constantly running him down or finding fault in everything he does.

@Stinkylouise: Well said Stinky – I have been more than a little interested in what Frank Darabont has had to say! I think that ‘LAC’ HAD (past tense definitely) the potential to be a shocking and telling denunciation of the prision system – something that could have been a real poke to the awards panels and the movie going in general. But reading recently that G didn’t lke the direction that the movie was going and parted company with Darabont seems the flaw at the centre of the project.
It seems that GB himself rewrote chunks of the character to be more likeable and human – and that the whole plot was redrafted to be a ‘wild-ride white knuckle thriller’ rather than a Darabont classic, and that whilst he had originally wanted to play the Jamie Foxx role, that the production couldn’t actually find an actor who was willing to play the role that GB now does opposite Gerry. I, like you have been disappointed in the trailers, in that it all looks like the Gerry we have seen in other things like ‘Shattered’/ Gamer/ 300 etc etc.

It would appear that GB has turned the opportunity to be in a really interesting serious movie, in order to be a litte bit edgy, in another version of the ‘same old same old, blow up/shoot up thriller’ that doesn’t interfere too much with his ‘leading man/hottie/stud/paparazzi image’.

I am not holding out for anything other than a rather longer than usual TV crime story.

PS: The UK thinks that Alan should go too!

@markasite madame:

I think what you are telling makes sence only jennifer aniston had denied that she is in a relationship with him in people magazine, her words were “But when it comes to working with Butler, “They get along really well, but Jen only likes him as a friend,” says a source. “She can’t see herself dating him.”

So she denied it and still the tabloids are making things up. The tabs want her to be with someone first it was pitt because he was in the same city, then gerard butler because they worked together, now they are going back to john mayer.

If i were her i would stop also with reacting to every story because they just don’t stop.

@the view from: Re Gamer … “miasmic upchuck of techno sludge …” is my new favorite line of any review. Too funny. My first Gerry film that I have decided to ignore.

I too am not impressed with the trailers from LAC – it looks like a lot of dialogue we’ve heard many times before. So much potential in the supporting cast, but if the story has indeed been diminished intellectually to tv crime drama level, I will be very disappointed.

IMO Paul Bettany is doing the most interesting roles right now. Loved his character in Ink Heart, and thought he was terrific in The Secret Life of Bees. He brought some pathos to a repellent character in that one. These are all roles that Butler could have gone for as well. It would have been interesting to see what he would have done with them.
