Was Gerard Butler using painkillers to keep up with his sexual performance?

Gerard Butler did undercover rehab for approximately three weeks, by most accounts. Allegedly, he was having problems with prescription pills and maybe cocaine too. Unfortunately, I have some misgivings about this whole situation – I’ll buy that Gerard was having a pill problem, and I’ll buy that he was having issues with recreational drugs too. But why did he only go to rehab for three weeks? Did he leave early so he could make it to the post-Oscar Vanity Fair party? And what does it mean if Gerard’s first week out of rehab involves not only huge (cocaine-soaked) Oscar parties, but also a trip to a nightclub AND an event for the launch of a new rum? Sketchy, right?

Anyway, we got a tip about this somewhat random gossip story about Gerard and his pills. According to one of Gerard’s ex-lovers, The Butler was only poppin’ pills to dull his back pain… because he wanted to keep on screwin’.

Randy Gerard Butler got hooked on painkillers after using them to fuel his sex life, his gorgeous ex has revealed.

Trainer Alicia Marie dated the Scot, who recently came out of rehab, in 2009 and said she never had it so good in the bedroom.

But she claimed his desire to be the best lover meant he made his agonising back injury — picked up on the set of 2006 movie 300 — much worse, which led to him using more medication. She said: “He didn’t want to make any sacrifices in the bedroom, [making] his pain issues so much worse.”

I actually went on one of The Butler’s fan-forums (those bitches make my Fassbender-lunacy look quaint), and they identify this Alicia Marie woman as someone Butler was seeing somewhere in the summer/fall of 2009. I wonder if he remembers her name? Anyway, the more I hear about The Butler, the more I think my years-long jokes/assumptions are dead-on. The man has addiction issues, but maybe he’s not dealing with one of his biggest addiction issues: sex addiction. When you’re popping painkillers right and left all because you want to keep bonin’ and bonin’, maybe the problem isn’t JUST the pills, you know? Gerard Butler is living the movie Shame. Sigh… and now I’m thinking about Fassy again.

      “I actually went on one of The Butler’s fan-forums (those bitches make my Fassbender-lunacy look quaint)” couldnt stop laughing,I used to be part of that group till Fassy make his entrance on inglorious bastard (shame on me :()

    I can’t believe I’m about to admit this…I love his hair. L-O-V-E it. My husband’s hair is really thick, wavy, and salt-n-pepper. I wonder if I could show him a picture and get him to grow it out…

  3. Hautie says:

    And I was under the impression that pain killers and alcohol… will give you a serious case of limp dick.

    So I find the entire PR story, given about his rehab stay, a little questionable.

    • TrollyDolly says:

      not if you pop a viagra – and a bit of cocaine – coke and a poke.

    • The Truth Fairy says:

      I was thinking the same thing – pain killers are downers, just like alcohol, which delay sexual response. Maybe that’s why he did coke too? Pills kill the back pain and cocaine keeps Little Gerry awake.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I think it depends-yeah if you’re mixing a TON of alcohol and a bunch of pills you’re probably not going to be able to get it up but a couple opiates and a few cocktails and he would probably be ok to perform. Amazing how so many people don’t realize (or care?) how dangerous that combo is…

    • OriginalTiffany says:

      OK, from experience. Any painkillers delay orgasm. Or make it unable to happen.

      I am a chronic pain patient, now that I am off the stuff, I feel myself “guarding” during sexy time. It’s hard to relax because everything hurts. So, you are always tense. Which makes the above happen again. In my experience anti-depressants are the worst, killing all libido.
      I’d rather be a bit blue sometimes than not be hitting it in the bedroom.
      I actually buy this story from personal experience, I can understand why a man or woman who has a chronic injury would take painkillers before sex. Its murder on the low back.
      The Coke? No idea.

  4. Mary says:

    He scares me lol. Especially in the 2nd picture. Please someone explain to me why he is considered attractive.

    • carrie says:

      nice hair ,blue eyes,scottish accent?
      he looks better when he’s more heathly (he was too skinny since one year)

    • Jane says:

      I don’t know if you have seen him in an interview, but he is funny! He tells good stories and tells them on himself. Too bad he is wasting all that personality on random women. He seems a little old to let his nether regions lead his life to that extent.

    • Zoe says:

      He’s looking rough lately. Lost too much weight, drugged/strung out. A gorgeous, tall man, great hair, with a cute accent when he first entered the Hollywood scene. He’s destroying his body by acting like a 20 year in a 40+ year body.

  5. shaniqua nunyadambidness says:

    He’s clinging to youth like the Cracken clings to a man with a bank roll in his pocket. Poor Jerry…just put the grecian formula and the sex swing down, buddy. I’ll still daydream about licking your mooblies.

  6. Jayna says:

    Silliest comment in the world by his ex. Sure, he probably used painkillers to stop the pain while sex. But that is a small portion of your day. As someone who has had severe back problems before, you are taking the painkillers just to get through the day or get through your workday, because the pain is unbearable and taking away your quality of life.

    Secondly, three weeks in rehab. LOL All that is is just detoxing him, basically, helping him through the withdrawal stage of getting off the pills.

    • Sweettart says:

      I totally agree.

      I think his ex just put out the story to put attention on herself. Who would know who she was otherwise?

  7. DeeVine says:

    There’s been blinds recently about how he can’t get it up. So maybe this story is planted to rehab his studly image?

    • mln76 says:

      wasn’t the blinds’ point that not only he can’t get it up but that he’s a bit lacking in the size department??

      Sorry Kaiser.

      • DeeVine says:

        Yes, and to dating teens who can’t complain much about performance issues.

        Best to stick to the Fassbender fantasies…

  8. Jen34 says:

    I believe every word of this, except the part where he is heaven in bed. That part is questionable. I bet he alternates between heaven and performance issues.

  9. Chickie Baby says:

    Sad as it sounds, these stories amuse me to no end. I still love the man, no matter what he does. His (alleged?) antics have kept me entertained for a long time now.

  10. HadleyB says:

    I think it’s a dumb story thats planted to make it seem like he’s still a hot stud .. he took painkiller ONLY to keep having hot sex because his back was hurting ? Please .. So we are to assume he’s so addicted to SEX he became addicted to pills? I don’t buy it.

    I think he got addicted to pills because his dick gave up long before he got addicted to pills, he can’t stand getting older, his career never got past 300, his looks never got past 300, he was going nowhere fast except ho’s who didn’t have a clue because they probably were coked out, and when you give up… you stop dying your hair, stop washing yourself, have the dead look in your eyes, and he had it ALL. He was addicted, depressed, angry, and probably much more we don’t know.

    Being addicted to pills because his d-ck was so great sounds like oh he’s such a MAN, a BAD BOY .. but I don’t buy it. He’s approaching old man road, won’t take the off ramp gracefully and there is nothing wrong with him being older .. he just seems to have a hard with it .. try being an older women in the industry..

  11. operagirl says:

    That last pic shows how terribly skinny he got last year. Not a good look for him, he has always been a muscular, “thicker” but not pudgy man (well, off and on, LOL). He’s not meant for the skin and bones look — it sucks away his hotness. A sign of the cocaine use, maybe?

    • Mari says:

      I think you’re right. I also think the “skin and bones” look arose from stress, unhealthy eating habits, lack of sleep and the combo of pills/coke. I think he needs to detox from Hollywood for a while.

  12. Stacie says:

    I love them Both Fassy and Gerry . I guess this could be believable .

  13. SFRowGuy says:

    That’s a lie. Gerard doesn’t need pills. He’s just fine in bed… in the kitchen… in the living room… out on the patio… @.@

  14. Jaxx says:

    I can’t believe that mophead in the pictures above is the same man I sighed over in 300. Now he just grosses me out.

    But the thing that really killed all attraction to him was seeing him on talk shows. I didn’t think he was funny at all. He was like watching a frat pledge make a total fool of himself while thinking he was the funniest thing on legs.

    I saw him on some late night show with a Scottish pal, can’t remember his name and they were so all over each other that I got a very strong gay vibe.

    • Maria_Spain says:

      The late late show with Craig ferguson?
      I saw one time gerry read ferguson´s book and I pee on myself absolutley funny moment XD

  15. Amber says:

    If Alicia Marie said she never had it so good in the bedroom, why would she lie?

  16. Zoe says:

    *those bitches make my Fassbender-lunacy look quaint*

    ..You almost made hot cocoa go up my nose, lol. Oh Kaiser how I love visiting the boards because of your posts 🙂

  17. dcypher1 says:

    Ahh yes I think we all fancy the fassy he’s so georgous u can’t stop staring at him. Oh I also read Gerard has the monster so sad he used to be the fassy before there was the Fassy.

  18. Kelly says:

    I wonder if anyone has thought about the possibility that the “ex” had a very LARGE sexual appetite and in order to keep HER happy in the bedroom, he took the pain pills? Always so quick to think the worst of someone and point fingers aren’t we. How would you feel if it was YOU everyone was gossiping about???

  19. pato says:

    he`s so hot. the third pic kills me.
