Gerard Butler: Coriolanus Muscle Man

Gerard Butler shows off his tree trunk arms while shooting his new movie, Coriolanus, in Belgrade, Serbia on Wednesday (April 28).

The 40-year-old Scottish stud will play Tullus Aufidius, commander of the Volscian army, in a contemporary version of Shakespeare’s Rome-set political play.

Coriolanus is actor Ralph Fiennes’ directorial debut (he also stars in the movie). William Hurt, Eddie Marsan, Jessica Chastain and Vanessa Redgrave also star.

This project is full circle for Gerry. While pursuing a degree in law many years ago, the opportunity to pursue his passion for acting came when he auditioned for a stage production of Coriolanus.

Gerry looks like he’s getting back into 300 shape!
