XLSemanal. <\/span>It is the image of Hugo Boss fragrance whose slogan is “Today’s man.” <\/span>Do you feel it? <\/span>Are you a man today?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nGerard Butler. <\/span>I hope so. <\/span>For me it is someone passionate, intense, strong but also sensitive and emotions. <\/span>And authentic. <\/span>So I changed course in the middle of my life I was a lawyer and became an actor. <\/span>I followed my heart. <\/span>Part of that definition of man today is to feel the freedom to do what you really want to do.<\/span><\/p>\nXL. <\/span>How did this change of life actor lawyer?<\/span><\/p>\nU.K. <\/span>My life changed completely. <\/span>I still sometimes dream I’m back in the office as a lawyer, and I feel relieved to wake up because I did not like that. <\/span>When I put on my suit and tie and went into the office the first day, I felt out of place. <\/span>I remember very well the first six months worked on tax issues.<\/span><\/p>\nXL. <\/span>\u00bfAffairs too serious?<\/span><\/p>\nU.K. <\/span>Exactly, that’s the thing. <\/span>But I’ve learned a lot about being an actor in my two years as a lawyer because to be somebody quite smarter and more interesting than I was. <\/span>I did not like what he did.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nXL. <\/span>How do you end this?
\n<\/span>U.K. <\/span>I got fired. <\/span>So I wonder where to go and decided to follow my dream. <\/span>So the morning after my dismissal, that morning, I packed my bags and moved to London.
\n<\/span>XL. <\/span>Attila, Leonidas, Mike Banning … Do you get papers hero because he saved a child from drowning in the River Tay?
\n<\/span>U.K. <\/span>[Series]. <\/span>It is true that I have been in crazy situations up trucks on fire and things like that, maybe it’s a matter of my Scottish blood. <\/span>The Scots are very warriors. <\/span>I’ve always been like that.
\n<\/span>XL. <\/span>Would you go these papers?
\n<\/span>U.K. <\/span>I’ve always known how you feel that integrity, that nobility, courage, courage meaning a classical way, traditional. <\/span>I understand and enjoy playing.
\n<\/span>XL. <\/span>The ghost of the opera or 300? <\/span>What movie has been more decisive in your career?
\n<\/span>U.K. <\/span>300, because it was a huge success and changed my career. <\/span>But the ghost … was a very important experience in my life so I dove in that role … I felt his pain, his loneliness, so very much that the character never left me. <\/span>And it was a very difficult role, came home after midnight and I had to get up at half past three in the morning to return. <\/span>No time at all: six hours spent in makeup. <\/span>Towards the end of the shoot I worked nine consecutive days sleeping three hours a day, I was losing my mind. <\/span>I ended up exhausted.
\n<\/span>XL. <\/span>Also hard was it 300?
\n<\/span>U.K. <\/span>I trained for eight months, the last four before we started filming trained six hours a day. <\/span>I trained much because he thought: “They fought to the death, how can I do something equivalent in the film?”.
\n<\/span>XL. <\/span>The transformation was amazing.
\n<\/span>U.K. <\/span>He had to. <\/span>There were the best specialists in film dubbing, extraordinary people who normally think that the actors are not the strongest. <\/span>I wanted them to see me so hard I thought, “This guy I respect, I would.”<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n
XL. <\/span>Still you are watching the muscles?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nU.K. <\/span>I still like to train. <\/span>But this style of training is over for me. <\/span>300 I destroyed. <\/span>It was too much. <\/span>Also, when you get to that end to sculpt the figure, it is a matter of vanity. <\/span>If it is not because the role requires, I find no reason to do so.<\/span><\/p>\nXL. <\/span>Are the perks of being a star.<\/span><\/p>\nU.K. <\/span>If a star I try to focus only on the positive.<\/span><\/p>\nXL. <\/span>What is it negative?<\/span><\/p>\nU.K. <\/span>When you become famous, you have your conflicts and your lows: you must get used to being judged constantly and you wrong, and you have to be careful. <\/span>But there comes a time when you take the precautions you should take. <\/span>I prefer to concentrate on the benefits that gives you fame.<\/span><\/p>\nXL. <\/span>That are…?<\/span><\/p>\nU.K. <\/span>You mean something in the lives of others, you can make them laugh or make them think about things that inspire them. <\/span>I am fulfilling a dream and it’s a great life.<\/span><\/p>\nXL. <\/span>How do you celebrate Christmas? <\/span>Are dresses especially for dinner?<\/span><\/p>\nU.K. <\/span>We meet in Scotland in the Highlands, the whole family: my mother, my stepfather, my brothers and sisters, all my nephews … We cooked a big dinner and then we went for a walk in the countryside. <\/span>No matter what the weather is: we live in a beautiful place and we walk. <\/span>Oh, and at dinner I have no choice but to get any of the sweaters that my family always gives me at Christmas: are convinced that I like. <\/span>So I sweat without stopping because the heat is high and sweaters are very fat; <\/span>I also tend to give away shoes, I must have a hundred pairs.<\/span><\/p>\nXL. <\/span>Would you touch the dishes?<\/span><\/p>\nU.K. <\/span>Sneak attempt, but not wash. <\/span>My mother does not allow it, forcing me.<\/span><\/p>\nXL. <\/span>His mother helps him fame not let it go to your head.<\/span><\/p>\nU.K. <\/span>Of course. <\/span>Sometimes I say, “Mom, I’m a Hollywood star, I can not do the dishes,” but will not wash. <\/span>He says: “Shut up and come to scrub.”<\/span><\/p>\nXL. <\/span>Do you like star’s life?<\/span><\/p>\nU.K. <\/span>Malibu live in a huge castle … Just kidding. <\/span>I live as normal as always. <\/span>The only thing that has changed is that when I go to a mall and is busy, try to do my errands faster, but I usually walk or bike, like everyone else. <\/span>It must be so: if not, I would not.<\/span><\/p>\nXL. <\/span>In Spain it has been several times.<\/span><\/p>\nU.K. <\/span>Yes, a lot, for business and leisure travelers. <\/span>When I was little, I had a great time in Mojacar and that was impressive, more than 40 degrees heat, but then I got on very well, something rare in a Scottish. <\/span>Now would not hold much heat.<\/span><\/p>\n
