Gerard Butler is ready to settle down, but he has horrible taste in women

_1249863484

There were lots of little pieces of Gerard Butler news and quotes, so I’m just putting it all together for all of us Butler-holics. Over the winter, Gerard filmed Law Abiding Citizen with Jamie Foxx in Philadelphia. At the time, Philadelphia went a little loony for Gerry, especially when it came to those reports that he was wandering around town naked, which still gives me a hot flash. The film is due out in October, and the director just released the teaser posters. They’re pretty hot. You know it’s going to be a good movie when the poster is just Gerry’s big head. According to Cinema Blend, the film is about: “An everyday guy decides to take justice into his own hands after a plea bargain sets his family’s killers free. His target: The district attorney who orchestrated the deal. Judging from the posters looks like Gerard Butler is the everyday guy and Jamie Foxx the DA he’s after.” Sweet. Lets keep our fingers crossed that there’s a lot of nudity.

Meanwhile, Gerard’s promotional duties for The Ugly Truth have pretty much come to a close. He and Katherine Heigl were all over the place for that film, and it’s paid off. The film is a solid success in America, and it’s beating out G.I. Joe in Europe. E! also reported that Butler and Heigl have a fan in Bill Clinton, who asked the studio to deliver a copy of the film, which he got. Bubba’s a closet Heigl fan, I bet. Either that or he totally relates to Gerry’s womanizing character.

Last week, Gerry gave a really unfortunate quote to Fox News. I’m still upset about it actually, because it makes Gerry sound like a tool. When asked what he was looking for in a lady, Gerry said, “I couldn’t actually tell you because it’s different in each woman, but by the way part of it is being smart and part of it is being dumb… Sometimes along the way in my life I don’t want a smart woman right now, I want a dumb woman. But then you think, that doesn’t work, now I want a smart woman. Then you get a smart woman and you go no, that doesn’t work so it’s just killing me right now.” Gah! I hate this so much, because Gerry is verbalizing something I fear most men think – something along the lines of “Smart women are a challenge to my masculinity, and they’re not worth the effort.” Of course, Gerry is also verbalizing something I fear about him all the time – that he’s an idiot. He also spoke to Red Magazine about his dreams for settling down:

Scottish actor Gerard Butler longs to get married and have children – but fears he has left it too late to settle down.

The 300 star turns 40 in November and is currently single. Butler recently admitted his love life is “pretty miserable” because he has problems finding a suitable mate. And he is convinced he needs to sort his relationship issues out soon – before misses his chance at marriage.

He tells Britain’s Red magazine, “I would love to have a wife and kids, but you can’t magic them out of thin air. I’ve never been that ‘seven-year relationship’ kind of guy. (But I’m ready) for the big relationship. I guess I’ve got to settle down soon, but I’m nervous to say it out loud because it might not happen.”

So maybe he’s not an idiot. Maybe he’s just waiting to find me! I’m equal parts dumb and smart, and as I’ve previously stated, I would marry him and get pregnant in a raunchy Scottish second.

In the last piece of Gerard news (and I realize this is an exhaustive, but really, there were many little pieces of news), Gerry was talking more about his dating history. I think these quotes might be from that same Red magazine interview, because they came out the same day. Gerry is discussing some of his more disastrous dates, and he says: “I’ve had some terrible dates. I had a girl throw up once – I’m from Glasgow, people like to get smashed. I went on another date and I ended up getting so drunk that I smashed a glass on my head as a joke and didn’t realise my head was bleeding. Those were my crazy days. I also went on a date once and at the end the girl went to the toilet, so I went to the toilet too but when she came out she thought I’d left and went. That was a pretty abrupt end to a date.” I’m starting to understand a bit more about why Gerry is still single. If these are what his dates are like, he needs me!

Here’s are the promo posters for “Law Abiding Citizen” along with Gerard Butler on the set of “The Bounty,” currently filming on location in New York City yesterday. Images thanks to WENN.com .

    • Arianna says:

      Who are you to say that you are not in his everyday life. He’s not perfect , then who really is, but finding the right mate is not ever usually easy. He is masculine and good looking and plus he is a sweet heart. Hopefully he gets what he wants he sure deserves it not just because his good looks but he is a genuine guy which makes him more appealing.

  2. Mairead says:

    Holy Caesaresque-(and-possible-neck-lengthening)-Photoshop, Batman! 😯

  3. mae says:

    He sounds like a freaking macho now and then BUT he’s quite hot !

  4. papier says:

    i am a guy, but what the hell. how is he good looking? i dont get it.

  5. lol says:

    I think he prefers men. he is bisexual.

  6. Firestarter says:

    Papier- IMO, he is NOT goodlooking. He screams of bad breath and stale b.o.

  7. Kaiser says:

    Mairead, I think you’re right about the neck-lengthening. Now that you’ve pointed it out, I’m distracted from his enormous nose.

    Eh. I’d still nail it to the wall, bad breath or not.

  8. Mizz Expert says:

    He just has such a Nancy Boy way with him! Gross…a little too much Russell Crowe fat boy in him. Let him keep his accent, by the way, in his mainstream films~that would go a LONG way towards sexing him up. I wish he was another Sean Connery!

  9. AlaskaJoey says:

    To me, he’s one of those guys who, if you look at the individual features by themselves, they aren’t cute. But put together in one package, it somehow works.

  10. maddie says:

    For some reason in certain pictures, at certain angles he looks like Randy Quaid.

  11. Sharky says:

    maddie: AHAHAHAHAHA! You’re right! I never noticed before, but now, of course, that’s all I’ll see.

  12. whatever says:

    He’s attractive in that caveman sort of way. But, only if you want to be used up and thrown away. Definitely not long term material.

  13. anon says:

    The guy is finally saying publicly what people in LA have known for a long time–he’s a screwed up, sex addict who can’t be in a normal relationship. His constant foolin’ around is catching up to him. I’m sure more stories will be coming out now that he’s getting more famous.

  14. Dorothy L says:

    He most definitely has what it takes. I call that sex appeal.

    His problem is he has too many women to choose from and that has got to be very confusing. Like a kid in a candy store told you can take one thing and come back for more, until you find what you like the best, but only one at a time… The kid would never be satisfied …he would keep returning, never to settle just in case he misses out on the best thing.

    I personally would not want to date an actor…no way.

  15. Marriage Counsellor says:

    Yes, The Butler has very bad taste in women. If he could stop dating sleazy nobody who cannot even get themselves a respected reputation in modeling and who cannot even have a decent career once he breaks up with her (I’m thinking of a certain notorious model posing with him in 2006) or any slutty girl he meets in bars in LaLaLand, then he might actually find the right person for him.

    Just because a woman is not in the Industry, either modeling or acting, it doesn’t mean she cannot cope with how hectic his life is. Actually some actors/athletes who have entered into relationships with women out of the media glare have had very strong long-lasting marriages and a happy family life.

    So Gerry, stay away from any model who cannot make a name for herself through her hard work, that also implies any floozy met in a bar. The perfect wife is not found getting drunk or high in a bar and sleeping with everybody who pays her a drink or a line of crack.

  16. Magsy says:

    He looks like a guy with a bad rug.

  17. Snoopchew says:

    If I were 122 years younger, Gerry would be in trouble!

  18. carol says:

    Why trash Mr. Butler, he’s a fine example of a man. Rugged good looks, likes his drink and has an eye for the ladies. That is no reason to hate him. He is a beautiful and talented man who simply hasn’t found the right girl. When he does, if he does, you wont need to insult him anymore. Besides he’s not perfect his name is Gerard Butler, not Jesus Christ. Gotta love him.

  19. HAHA says:

    If his name were Jesus Christ, could we crucify him then?

  20. sally hansen says:

    How can anyone say Gerard Butler isn’t good looking? That is the handsomest man I’ve ever seen. What a beautiful face this man has. We have never had such a handsome leading man. His face is just beautiful. His body is incredable. If you don’t think so you better get some glasses. I suppose some of you just like the cutsy pie looking guys that I can’t stand.
