Oh, poor Jennifer Aniston. It looks like her hopes of getting into Gerard Butler’s pants have been temporarily dashed. Butler traveled all the way to India for the mother of all booty calls… with Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra. There were rumors about Gerard and Priyanka a few months ago, but since then the sort-of relationship seems to have been on the downlow. Gerard is so enamored of Priyanka, he not only traveled halfway around the world, he’s been seen out in public with her, and even stopped by the set of her latest Bollywood film. Gerard also gave a statement, saying how much he loved India. Swoon.
There have been rumors swirling about who the new man in Priyanka Chopra’s life is and one of the names that keeps coming up is Scottish hunkstar Gerard Butler. The two beautiful people met at the opening of the Atlantis hotel in Dubai and reportedly have stayed in touch since. In fact, the two have gotten to be such “good friends” that Gerard recently spent the day on the set of Priyanka’s new film What’s Your Rashee?.
Speaking to [Times of India], Butler said about visiting India, “Every time I come to India, I feel that I haven’t spent enough time here. I love this country. It attracts you towards itself and you can never say no. Last year, I had come to India, and thankfully, no one got to know about it. I’d like to keep it that way this time too. I am planning to stay here till Priyanka’s done with her shoot. Then I have a few places in mind, like Rishikesh, Manali and some parts of Rajasthan, that I’d like to visit.”
He also revealed that he actually auditioned for a part in Lagaan, “I had auditioned for Lagaan, but I didn’t get the role.” Adding jokingly, “I guess they wanted to say that I was too good looking for the role. That I guess can be the only reason.”
Also visiting the set in Jaipur with Butler was Richard LaGravenese director of PS, I Love You. Both men were introduced to Ashutosh Gorwariker and got the chance to talk about Bollywood films. LaGravenese said, “I am enjoying this whole Indian movie shooting. It is an honour, and the director seems like a nice man.”
According to a source after the shoot was complete the two along with Priyanka and others from the film crew went on a sight seeing tour around the city.
Though Priyanka and Gerard maintain that they are just good friends we will have to wait and watch to see if there will be more news to come.

Why doesn’t this news upset me? Gerard’s hookups have broken my heart before - the rumors of him with Paris Hilton, Shanna Moakler and Aniston nearly killed me. I think I’m unfazed because I’m half-Indian, and I really feel like Gerard Butler is working his way to me slowly but surely. Hey, at least I know he’s down with Indian girls. Hurray!
There’s this little factoid, too - Butler might have had other reasons for visiting India. The rumor going around the Indian press is that Gerard and Tom Cruise will be joining forces for a film set completely or partially in India, and that Gerard’s visit might be in his capacity as producer, for scouting locations within India:
Everyone thought that Hollywood hottie Gerard Butler was in Jaipur with some of his friends to explore its beauty and catch up with ‘good friend’ Priyanka Chopra at the same time.
However, friendship or sight-seeing were not the only reasons that brought Gerard to India. There was some serious work on his agenda too – that of scouting for locations for his next film, starring another Hollywood hottie – Tom Cruise.
Says a source on condition of anonymity, “Gerard was in Jaipur with some of his production team members on a location hunt for his upcoming project that features Tom Cruise. He really liked the picturesque locales of Jaipur and has said that he’ll soon come back to shoot here.” During his stay in Hotel Shiv Vilas, Gerard keenly observed the shooting of director Ashutosh Gowarikar’s What’s Your Rashee? that stars Priyanka and Hurman Baweja. Adds the source, “Gerard and his crew members also checked out the hotel from top to bottom – to see whether it’d be suitable for them to shoot there. After being sure about everything, he has finalised the venue for the shoot.”
After soaking in the beauty of the desert state, Gerard, who will stay in India for a few more days, will go to Agra, to see the Taj. Will this also be a ‘location hunting’ trip? Watch this space…
[From The Times of India]
See, it’s like Gerard Butler is searching India for me… like the big, beautiful lug doesn’t understand that I’m in the States! Come back to me, Gerard! I’m right here! You were closer to me in Philadelphia!
Anyhoo, I wonder if there’s anything to this Tom Cruise-Gerard Butler film rumor. IMDB doesn’t have any upcoming films for either actor that would be filmed in India, or any film where they would star with each other. So that part of the story is probably just a rumor, but the hookup with Priyanka Chopra is real.
Here’s Gerard Butler in L.A. in October. Images thanks to Pacific Coast News.

It doesn’t matter who he is seeing (or not seeing). Aniston’s PR machine will plant stories they’re a couple anyway, and the rags will pick it up with glee. His only chance is to be seen with a different woman every day of their film shoot. Or call Aaron Eckhardt, he was successful in not being “attached” to Aniston during their shoot so I’m sure he’ll have good advice for Gerry.
-
Some people seem really invested in Aniston.
-
Kaiser,Far be it for me to break your heart with anything remotely negative about your imaginary boytoy, Gerard, but I must say he looks awful in the first picture. His face looks puffy, he has man boobs and his body looks pudgy. A true test of your love would be to stand by him in his chubby phase. I trust you are up to the task.
-
He looks like he lives on deep-fried mars bars.
-
Wow, she is really pretty and I would rather see him with Ms. Bollywood than the ever-desperate Aniston.
-
That is a very unflattering picture of him!
-
J. Ferber - I know, I know. My boy isn’t aging well, but he’s still cute as a button (to me)!
I will stand by him. I would rip that ugly track suit off of him so fast…
-
Id pick her over Aniston in a heartbeat. Yea Aniston comes with the free PR, but she seems crazy.
-
He looks like road kill-bloated and smelly.
-
Why do people keep linking him with Aniston? They could never be more than a quick fling at best.
Sightseers and Sun-worshippers just aren’t meant to be together
-
What happened to the frat boy who Gerard beat up to get that necklace?
-
I think this title is ridiculous. Gerard gets around, but from the article it sounds like he’s pursuing her — not just sleeping with her. Seems like they are really into each other.
What’s motivation this dismissive title?
-
He definitely has the European difference, which I think is part of his appeal (though I agree he’s got his scroungy moments). I’ve seen pictures of him pre-”300″ with lots of non-Caucasian women, whom he seems to really appreciate. I can’t think of another actor who got fairly close to approaching A-list for awhile who so often dates women of different races. That I like. The man-whoring in general, not so much.
-
LOL @ j. ferber “Your mission, Kaiser, should you choose to accept it…” LOL
-
Jen’s big pr team messed up again. So many pr tricks are getting too old.
-
So he’d rather fly halfway around the world than give a facial to Jennifer Aniston… That’s GOTTA HURT!
-
Manwhore! He is the male version of Paris Hilton. ;P Yuck
-
Oh darn another one got away from Jen and her publicist. Whats an old girl to do these days when men run from you because you lie on them so much.
Jen will be lucky if a man ever come near her again after what she do to all her ex’s. Plus she is high maintenance and stuck on herself. -
I don’t believe Gerard and Jennifer were a couple anyway! The woman is a workaholic she has no time for romance.
-
My God! What are these boobs!
-
there’s a possibility he was taking some form of steroids to get into the shape he was in for 300. Which in some cases, depending on what type, increases the production of estrogen as well as testosterone. Hence the moobs, lol.
-
P.S. There are designer steroids available now that are designed to decrease levels of estrogen while increasing testosterone levels.

Mom of 4-
Tell us more about the Montreal affair. You or your step sis should post on justjared.com. Search: Gerard Butler, then post whatever you like on threads dated March 29 or April 13. They have the best info. The March thread says the most about GB’s “issues”. -
I loved him in “Phantom Of The Opera” which he filmed years ago. I see him as this incredible hunk of a man with half a face. He convinced me with his talent (acting and singing) that he was someone to be reckoned with. To hell with his personal life. I hope he still lives for his talent in the arts.
-
Sadly, his career lately isn’t as interesting as his personal life. And that’s his fault. Bad movie choices and whoring himself in plain view of papz for attention have left little to talk about except his PL.
-

He is really something else - my step-sister had a fling with him while filming 300 in Montreal. Basically he had her holed up a his hotel for a summer and then took off.
