He has been in this neck of the woods before, but a long time ago, under far different circumstances. Now he\u2019s a movie star, a Scottish transplant with a killer crooked smile who slayed as King Leonidas in the epic Spartans vs. Persians bloodfest 300, then went the way of rom-coms and high-octane action films. In the past few years, he\u2019s also had the good fortune to be linked to everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Jennifer Aniston; in fact, he can\u2019t say hello to a woman without it being said they\u2019re a hot-and-bothered item. Plus, he owns houses in New York and L.A., vacations in India and Brazil, usually drives a BMW Z8, and no longer has to do his own grocery shopping. Sweet stuff. Everything\u2019s roses. Right now, as well, he\u2019s got a Coca-Cola in hand and is loving every minute of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s my first one in three days,\u201d he\u2019s saying, happily taking a big swig. \u201cThere are times, though, when I\u2019ll have six in a day. It depends on the mood I\u2019m in, whether I\u2019m Gerry the addict, or Gerry the saint, or Gerry the whatever it may be. Yes, there are way more Gerrys than I would like. There really are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Which brings him back to the last time he was in these surroundings, in the mid-1990s, before he even became an actor. He was midway through law school in Scotland, had come to Venice Beach for an apprenticeship that never materialized and stuck around for a year. He was Gerry the addict then, a big-time drinker and party maniac. \u201cI actually can\u2019t remember those times so well,\u201d he says, squinting with the effort. \u201cThe good old days. I once drove from L.A. to Chicago in this horrible whiteout of a snowstorm \u2014 you could not see one foot in front of you \u2014 and the car, this little Pontiac, was sliding all over the place, making funny noises. It would have been scary if I hadn\u2019t been smashed out of my head. I didn\u2019t say that. I\u2019m kidding! I wasn\u2019t. I really wasn\u2019t. But sometimes I would leave L.A. and wake up in Florida and think, \u2018How did this happen?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While he was in California, lots of other stuff happened too. For instance, he got arrested a number of times, usually because he was drunk and disorderly. At one point, he ended up in a Los Angeles jail, shackled to eight other evildoers, real bad guys with no saint sides to them whatsoever, thinking, \u201cI\u2019m going to die! I\u2019m going to die!\u201d \u2014 at a time when, back home, he was still president of the University of Glasgow Law Society.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s the old Gerry. The new Gerry, at the age of 40, hasn\u2019t had a drink in 13 years. The new Gerry still might get in scrapes with the law. Last year, he was arrested for punching out a paparazzo. But this Gerry does not suffer unduly. He was acquitted.<\/p>\n<p>And so down the road he moves, closer to Neptune\u2019s Net. It\u2019s a place he says he\u2019s never seen before. But he\u2019s heard about it. He\u2019s heard tales. It has a reputation. He wants to go.<\/p>\n<p>Pulling in, he scratches at the stubble on his chin and looks around. The motorcycles. The battered picnic tables. The seagulls and seagull crap. The ocean over there. The Porta-Potties right here. \u201cOh, yeah,\u201d he says, a lightbulb going on somewhere in his head, an old memory illuminated. \u201cI never went in, but I did stop here once before.\u201d He smiles that crazy fractured smile of his, then jumps out of the car and heads toward this place he\u2019s never seen before for the second time in his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014-<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not be coy here. according to the nation\u2019s movie critics, with the exception of 300 and maybe RocknRolla, Butler\u2019s recent movies have generally sucked the big one. Here are some of the adjectives used to describe his three 2009 movies (Gamer, The Ugly Truth, and Law Abiding Citizen): \u201cghastly,\u201d \u201clackluster,\u201d \u201csexually crude,\u201d \u201cinsipid,\u201d \u201cutterly mechanical,\u201d \u201cloathsome,\u201d \u201cpreposterous,\u201d \u201crelentlessly ugly,\u201d \u201cvery nasty,\u201d \u201ccacophonous mess,\u201d \u201coutlandishly crass,\u201d \u201cmiasmic upchuck.\u201d To top things off, early word had it that Butler was going to be nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award, a Razzie, in the always-heated worst actor category (though in the end, mercifully, he wasn\u2019t). But as far as Butler and his career are concerned, here\u2019s the outlandishly preposterous and relentlessly beautiful part: Those movies didn\u2019t flop. In fact, Law Abiding Citizen and The Ugly Truth were outright hits, grossing more than $300 million combined, worldwide. Rarely has the disparity between critical reception and audience response been so pronounced. Even if his newest movie, The Bounty Hunter, an action rom-com co-starring Jennifer Aniston, is another stinker, chances are that Butler will come out of it looking good.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s only one explanation for this, of course: Butler himself. But what, exactly, is his appeal?<\/p>\n<p>Today, inside Neptune\u2019s Net, all is revealed in a matter of seconds. He\u2019s standing in line, looking at the menu, when a nice-looking middle-aged woman and her man friend come up to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExcuse me,\u201d the woman says, \u201cI don\u2019t mean to interrupt you\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Butler wheels on her. \u201cWell, don\u2019t, then. I just learned that I could be up for a Razzie. This is an important moment for me as an actor. I almost feel like crying. I feel like I just won an Oscar but the other way around. Should I kill myself? Should I kill everyone else? What?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The woman blinks furiously, trying to piece all this together. His words, his snorting laughter, his dancing blue-green eyes, the Scottish burr compounding everything. He\u2019s a big guy, too, more than six feet tall, and thick. Blithely, she goes on, \u201cI\u2019m very impressed with you! P.S. I Love You is our favorite!\u201d (2007 rom-com: \u201cgrating,\u201d \u201cexcruciating\u201d). She nods at her man friend. \u201cWell, not his, mine. And did you do all of the singing in Phantom of the Opera?\u201d (2004 musical: \u201cbloated,\u201d \u201ctedious\u201d). \u201cOh, that\u2019s where I fell in love with you. And, well, Dear Frankie, I love you in that, too\u201d (2004 drama: \u201cheartwarming,\u201d \u201ctouching,\u201d \u201csolid storytelling and subdued acting,\u201d \u201cundeniably sweet,\u201d \u201ca lasting love letter,\u201d \u201cterrific performances\u201d \u2014 let\u2019s give credit where credit is due). \u201cYou were fabulous!\u201d She shoves a wine bottle in his direction. \u201cWould you sign this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely, of course,\u201d says Butler. Then he lowers his voice and says, \u201cI\u2019m doing an interview right now, but if I wasn\u2019t, I\u2019d be like, \u2018F**k off, f**k off, f**k off, f**k all of you!\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Butler\u2019s kidding again, but the woman takes a step back.<\/p>\n<p>He scrawls on the wine bottle, returns it.<\/p>\n<p>The woman frowns. \u201cThat\u2019s awesome,\u201d she says, \u201cbut what does it say?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt says, \u2018Gerry Butler,\u2019 \u201d Butler says, pointing. \u201cI\u2019m signing a f**king wine bottle, it\u2019s not the easiest thing in the world, all right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That noted, he gives her a great big hug, wrapping his arms around her, and you can see her melt into him. And there it is in a nutshell, the key to Butler\u2019s appeal. He\u2019s a take-charge, foul-mouthed joker with a willingness to hug. \u201cThat\u2019s the way he is in person, and that\u2019s the way he comes across in his movies,\u201d says 300 director Zack Snyder.<\/p>\n<p>And he\u2019s just so many other damned things besides. He\u2019s athletic, loves his mountain biking, his skiing, and his surfing, his latest new pastime. (He used to be a ferocious badminton player, too.) He\u2019s the kind of fellow who likes to pee in the shower and says that sometimes, while visiting friends, he\u2019ll take a crap in a pot and hide it for them to find later. (He\u2019s kidding about that, he says, but the way he says it, you never know.) Finally, if he puts on a few pounds, develops a gut and guy boobs, he does not keep his shirt on and stay off the beach, out of the paparazzi\u2019s sight. He lets it all hang out. Now that\u2019s a man. And that\u2019s why, despite certain of his movies, he is currently being called \u201ceveryone\u2019s favorite Scottish hunk,\u201d not to mention general-purpose all-around-town bon vivant and ladies\u2019 man of a very high order.<\/p>\n<p>He is sitting at a table now, over fish-and-chips and another Coke, legs jangling as he looks at a list of names on a sheet of paper that has been slid in front of him. Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Naomi Campbell, Jessica Simpson, Cheryl Burke, Lindsay Lohan, and Shanna Moakler, all names that have been appended to his in one way or another. It would be churlish to ask him to name names, but how about a number \u2014 of those seven, how many has he in fact slept with?<\/p>\n<p>He barks out a laugh, takes up a pen, makes a mark, pushes the paper back across the table. The number is one.<\/p>\n<p>This is, of course, terribly disappointing. It\u2019s a travesty is what it is. He\u2019s single, they\u2019re (mostly) single. He should be out there making hay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah,\u201d he says almost sheepishly. \u201cI think I get laid less now than I used to, because I\u2019m way more paranoid now. Look at f**king Tiger Woods! I mean, I\u2019m nowhere near as naughty as I used to be, partly because I did a lot of that when I was drinking. I\u2019m not saying I\u2019ve cut that part out. I\u2019m certainly no angel. There\u2019s no smoke without fire. But here\u2019s the thing: While they\u2019re accusing me of that, I\u2019ve probably been off somewhere else doing damage with someone else. I\u2019m pretty smart like that. I know how to get away with these things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014-<\/p>\n<p>Given where he comes from, and what he\u2019s been through, he\u2019s probably right about that. His father, Edward, was a bookie and a scoundrel in his hometown of Paisley, a run-down cotton-mill community a few miles west of Glasgow on the northern edge of the Gleniffer Braes, and while Butler was still in utero, his father fled to Canada, having bankrupted the family by taking on too many risky bets. He, his mom, Margaret, and his two older siblings, Brian and Lynn, eventually joined him there; but after two years living in a failed marriage, his mom gathered the kids up and returned to Paisley, $4 in her pocket, where she put herself through secretarial school and raised them herself. \u201cI was born into a world of anxiety,\u201d Butler says. He spent most of his early years avoiding trouble in the streets by pretending he was in the army and out on maneuvers. \u201cI was a very, very feeling boy,\u201d he recalls. \u201cI know that sounds weird. But my memories are mostly of feeling the intensity of things, especially in sports \u2014 football, badminton, or volleyball \u2014 and thinking I was going to explode.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, he was an excellent student and in his senior year at high school became \u201chead boy,\u201d an elected position in which he was supposed to act as primary role model for the younger boys. By that time, he was already drinking and trying to figure out what to do next. Briefly, he thought about medicine but then realized, \u201cI\u2019d be the surgeon who would do 10 great operations, then manage to stab somebody in the brain while they were getting their tonsils out. I was the kind of person who could do great things but also come up with some fu**up of ginormous proportions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, it only made sense for him to become a lawyer, which is what he set about doing, earning an honor\u2019s degree from Glasgow University. Around this time, his father, with whom he\u2019d been reunited since the age of 16, died of cancer, sending Butler into a tailspin that led to his long, hard-core partying break in California. That out of his system, he returned to Edinburgh to join a law-trainee program at the buttoned-down firm of Morton, Fraser &amp; Milligan. He couldn\u2019t stand it, hated it, stayed drunk most of the time, skipped work whenever it suited him, and kept wondering to himself, \u201cWhat the fuck happened?\u201d leaving the partners no choice but to fire him \u2014 with only one week left in the program. And with that, he jettisoned seven years of work and preparation, with no thought as to what he would do next, other than to go out and down his next pint.<\/p>\n<p>He was quite the carouser. \u201cI was kind of crazy when I was drunk,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was never really brawling \u2014 I mean, if it was, it was with myself. \u2018Check this out, this is funny,\u2019 and I\u2019d hit myself in the head with a bottle and wake up with lumps everywhere. Or I\u2019d want to climb up a building, or jump off something, or play chicken with cars. And whatever I say I used to do is probably only 5 percent of what I really used to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few days before getting canned, however, Butler saw a stage production of Trainspotting at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and now decided, just like that, that he was going to become an actor. He\u2019d done a bit of acting as a kid, as a myrrh-carrying king in a Christmas pageant and a street urchin in Oliver!, and during a five-week drama course at the Scottish Youth Theatre, but other than that, not much. Nonetheless, at the age of 25, he moved to London, worked odd jobs, and eventually found his way into the theater (first play, Coriolanus, 1996: \u201cstylized,\u201d \u201cfilmic,\u201d \u201cvisually rewarding\u201d), then into British movies (his first, Mrs. Brown, 1997: \u201chighly resonant,\u201d \u201cextremely well acted\u201d), then into Hollywood movies (his first biggie, Lara Croft Tomb Raider, 2003, with Angelina Jolie: \u201cno reason to exist,\u201d \u201cshoddy,\u201d \u201cegregiously insipid\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>And then, in 2007, came 300.<\/p>\n<p>He first met 300 director Zack Snyder at a Peet\u2019s coffee shop on Ventura Boulevard, and he arrived prepared, with a copy of the graphic novel and a head full of ideas for how King Leonidas should be played. Snyder remembers it well: \u201cHe got superexcited. He stood up \u2014 he\u2019s not shy \u2014 and he was showing me exactly what it would be like and did not hold back. He didn\u2019t quite jump on the table, but he was close to it, and everyone\u2019s looking at him like, Oh, jeez.\u201d Says Butler, \u201cYou talk about the different Gerrys. I walked into that meeting a monster, really a warrior. I was totally into that sense of flow, jumping around, raving on, where there\u2019s no self-image, no thinking about who\u2019s looking, no worrying about anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning, Warner Bros. wanted a bigger name for the part. \u201cThey didn\u2019t say Tobey Maguire,\u201d says Snyder, \u201cbut it\u2019s like that, right? He\u2019s awesome, but he\u2019s not Leonidas. Leonidas has to be a man. I was like, \u2018This is the king we\u2019re talking about.\u2019 And then they were cool with Gerry. He\u2019s a big guy. He\u2019s got a deep voice. He\u2019s scrappy. I believe he was perfect in that part.\u201d So he got the job, firmed up his abs, donned a toga, lifted a sword, and made mincemeat out of the Persians, to a gross of more than $450 million \u2014 and his immediate arrival as a movie star and gossip-column regular.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014-<\/p>\n<p>As it happens, Butler has a good bit of endearing weirdness to him. He\u2019s always saying outrageous things, then thinking better of them, and trying to pull them back, full of regret. For instance, did he become friends with Jennifer Aniston during the making of The Bounty Hunter? \u201cVery much so,\u201d he says. \u201cOver Christmas, she had a tree-trimming party that I went to. Yeah, I trimmed her bush. S**t. Please don\u2019t put that in.\u201d Iced tea \u2014 he hates it (\u201cI hate iced tea!\u201d). Sleeping on his left side \u2014 he loves it (\u201cI love sleeping on my left side!\u201d). Biting his toenails \u2014 he used to, but he can no longer get his foot up to his mouth. Heroics \u2014 he\u2019s your man. While on a picnic once with his mom in Scotland, he heard the screams of a young boy about to drown in the River Tay; he jumped in, rescued the lad, and was later awarded a certificate of bravery from the Royal Humane Society. And he wasn\u2019t even famous yet.<\/p>\n<p>Sensitive? Sure. Just ask Aniston. \u201cYou don\u2019t get more of a full-blown guy than Gerry,\u201d she says. \u201cBut what makes him so appealing is that he\u2019s also really vulnerable. And without pretense. He\u2019ll be the first person to joke about the fact that he\u2019s been on a cleanse for five days and a cupcake just went by and he just couldn\u2019t help himself. He\u2019s unbelievably likable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fielding intrusive questions? Yup, he can do that, too, albeit with a yelp.<\/p>\n<p>Is he comfortable with the size of his penis?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the f**ing Christ kind of thing is that to ask?\u201d he barks. But then he warms to the question nicely. \u201cI am, actually, yeah. It\u2019s maybe the one area of my life where my confidence surpasses the reason to be so. I remember at school the joking about penis size: \u2018Oh, I have to wrap it around my waist and stick it in my pocket!\u2019 I\u2019d joke about mine being tiny, because I knew mine wasn\u2019t tiny, but I knew theirs didn\u2019t go to the moon either. So when we all turned up in the showers, they\u2019d be looking down at theirs \u2014 \u2018Maybe I can\u2019t wrap it around my waist; maybe it won\u2019t even reach my hip\u2019 \u2014 while I\u2019m like, \u2018This is just fine.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s his smile. His smile is totally weird, this off-slant, half-downward-sloping slash without which it\u2019d be hard to imagine him. And yet he wasn\u2019t born with it. It came later, some time after his 10th year, when he developed an ear infection that led to surgery, a case of tinnitus (which he still suffers from, minorly), and the loss of half the hearing in his right ear. The episode had two other consequences. One he didn\u2019t find out about until he was filming Tomb Raider. \u201cI was born with two sticking-out ears, and after the operation one ear was really thrown back in, but I didn\u2019t realize it until I had to shave my head for that movie. Everybody went, \u2018Holy f**k, one ear sticks out way more than the other one!\u2019 And we literally had to glue it back.\u201d The other consequence was his smile. \u201cI know a couple of other people with crooked smiles, and it turns out they\u2019re hard of hearing in one ear.\u201d That\u2019s his most current explanation for it. He\u2019s had others. \u201cWhen I was younger, I looked like I had a stroke \u2014 I mean, you never know \u2014 and because my mind sometimes feels like it\u2019s melted down, I\u2019d think, \u2018Maybe I did have a stroke!\u2019 That would sure explain a lot of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Butler is surprisingly open about this sometimes melted-down-feeling mind of his. Late in the day at Neptune\u2019s Net, he says, \u201cI am slightly addicted to anxiety. When I\u2019m feeling anxious, I\u2019ll create more anxiety for myself. Like I might call all these people about what\u2019s fun to do tonight and end up with four different options, which in itself would put me into a blind panic; but then I\u2019ll make another four calls just to make it 10 times more anxiety-ridden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He looks at his watch. In 20 minutes, he has a business appointment that will take him an hour to get to. It\u2019s with Marc Foster, the director of his next movie, Machine Gun Preacher, which actually sounds like a good one, the true story of a former drug-dealing biker type who found God and went on the war path to save Sudan\u2019s child soldiers. Butler really should get up and get the heck out of here. Instead, he continues talking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat I got through all that I got through to be where I am, it doesn\u2019t make sense \u2014 this kind of lost soul studying law in Scotland and then moving to London with no experience as an actor, and with his morals not about him, who couldn\u2019t keep his sh**t together, who couldn\u2019t even feed himself properly, and to get ahead in a career like this, which is probably one of if not the most difficult professions to get ahead in \u2014 nothing else makes sense except to think that I was being guided and all this was meant to be, the same way you see the crooked smile as a blemish or imperfection, or being fired as a lawyer horrific, when those are the very things that end up helping you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy thing now is to appreciate the cosmic beauty of everything that\u2019s happened. But then again, do I spend a lot of time in my own head judging myself? Absolutely. Have I ever thought I was a fraud? Maybe 18 hours a day. Do I spend more time damning myself than promoting myself? Absolutely. In the last five years since coming out here, I\u2019ve had two relationships. I\u2019m not a big relationship guy. One of my vices is, I\u2019m too wrapped up in myself and not always in a good way. It\u2019s not like I walk around going, \u2018Hey, I\u2019m amazing; I\u2019m Gerry Butler!\u2019 But I am too caught up in my own sh**, good and bad. The whole banging-the-bottle-against-my-head thing that I did as a kid \u2014 it\u2019s a metaphor for how I\u2019ve loved to cause myself pain. I\u2019ve spent a lot of time taking the path of most resistance instead of least.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe I have an important meeting,\u201d he continues. \u201cI don\u2019t consciously turn up late, but I will find that I subconsciously create circumstances that\u2019ll make me so late that on the way I\u2019m going, \u2018Why would you do this? This is so f**ked!\u2019 And by the time you\u2019re in the meeting, you\u2019re in negative land and you have to try to fight yourself into positive land. I\u2019m always battling that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Outside Neptune\u2019s Net, it\u2019s dark, and a million lights glow in the distance. Having talked himself silly without taking a break, Butler heads off to the Porta-Potties, where a guy lurking about gets him to sign his shirt. The minutes are ticking by. He hasn\u2019t even looked at his watch. He is so f**ked. And he doesn\u2019t even know it. But here\u2019s the great thing about being Butler. It won\u2019t matter how late he is. It\u2019ll all work out fine, and soon enough he\u2019ll have yet another good reason to sit back and once again appreciate the cosmic beauty of everything that\u2019s happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014-<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mensjournal.com\/gerry-the-sinner-gerry-the-saint\">April 2010 issue of <\/a><\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mensjournal.com\/gerry-the-sinner-gerry-the-saint\">Men\u2019s Journal<\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source:Men&#8217;s Journal Author: Erik Hedegaard Read the Article at: Men&#8217;s Journal Published in Men&#8217;s Journal: April 2010 Published on-line at MensJournal.com: March 29, 2010 Photos by: Jim Wright Gerard Butler is a foul-mouthed rake who bangs everything in sight.
