You can hear Gerard Butler\u2019s grave, Scottish accent echoed by raucous laughter before he even enters the room. It would appear that the actor is always in the middle of telling a joke or story, complete with voices, animated facial expressions, and cliff-hanging pauses for good measure. It\u2019s fair to say that the actor is a captivating character.<\/p>\n

Butler (who was in fact on a career path to becoming a lawyer until he did an about face to pursue his childhood dreams of making it as an actor) is considered to be a thoroughly modern man\u2019s man and certainly one of the thrill-seeking variety. He performs his own stunts, which means buffing up for movie roles like King Leonidas in 300<\/em>. The delight he has in regaling tales about his near death experiences during filming aptly illustrates his sense of adventure. For his latest role as the ambassador for Hugo Boss Boss Bottled fragrance<\/a> and the newly launched Boss Bottled Intense<\/a>, Butler headlines as \u201cthe man of today.\u201d On his recent whistle stop trip to Dubai to commemorate the launch of Boss Bottle Intense at Paris Gallery in The Dubai Mall, we talked to Butler to find out what truly makes him fit the profile.<\/p>\n

What are some of the physical challenges that you have overcome on set?<\/strong>
\nThere have been so many. My last film was a space movie so I had to spend a lot of time weightless. There was one day where I was held upside down wearing a 65lb space suit for 12 hours. That was an intense five weeks. I actually wanted to rip off the suit after the first five minutes. Another time, for a surf movie, I had to battle some seriously dangerous waves and I nearly drowned as a result. I had to spend a night in hospital having my heart put back in the right place. When I was underwater, I remember thinking, \u201cThis is it; I\u2019m done.\u201d Frankly, I\u2019ve got to learn to get less involved in my stunts, but it\u2019s all part of the fun.<\/p>\n

What motivates you?<\/strong>
\nThe fear of being terrible at things is a big motivator. When you\u2019re working hard and creating then great things happen. I did [work hard] to get to be an actor\u2014the job I dreamed of having as a child.<\/p>\n

What character traits define the modern man?<\/strong>
\nWhat helps me is that I\u2019m very driven, very ambitious, and quite courageous. I think to be in my line of work you have to be. Now that I\u2019m getting older, I realize it\u2019s important to understand the beauty of success, but not at all costs. It\u2019s important to ask yourself, \u201cWhat do I contribute to life?\u201d and to remember to be compassionate and caring in your daily life. I read an article recently, which asked, \u201cAre men the new women?\u201d Isn\u2019t that just hilarious?<\/p>\n

If the acting world didn\u2019t exist, what would you be doing?<\/strong>
\nMaybe it\u2019s because I come from Scotland or maybe because I\u2019m constantly surrounded by people\u2014I like to get away from it all. Now I live on a ranch in Malibu, in the middle of nowhere, so I think if I wasn\u2019t an actor, maybe I would be a forestry commissioner. I like the thought of having a job that forces you to be in nature.<\/p>\n

What do you like to do when you\u2019ve finished wrapping a film?<\/strong>
\nI get on my motorbike, or pack a tent in the car, and go. I\u2019ve ridden through Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. I once did a trip from Louisiana to New York with a friend and it took us hours to go five feet because we were always getting into trouble.<\/p>\n

What do you love most about what you do?<\/strong>
\nI love telling stories. I love the challenges of how you turn a script into a movie and watching films at the cinema and seeing people\u2019s reactions to the moments you have created. Whether it\u2019s to make them laugh or make them turn away in revoltion, I love that.<\/p>\n
