Is this the big, fat potato face that will sell millions of bottles of cologne? Not so much. This Gerard Butler leaving a radio interview yesterday – look at his eyes. The photo caption at INF says he has “bloodshot eyes” but I think we’re looking at something a lot more serious. This sh-t looks like he burst a blood vessel, or he’s got a horrible case of pinkeye. I had pinkeye once – it really is no joke, and it looks a lot worse than this. My guess is a burst blood vessel, which from what I hear is also very painful. Anyway, Gerard is in London promoting Law Abiding Citizen, and he waxes rhapsodic about how he would like to join the ranks of Ewan McGregor and Clive Owen in being the “face” of a cologne. Yeah… that’s not going to happen, Pinkeye.
Scottish actor Gerard Butler is jealous of actors like Clive Owen and Ewan McGregor who have their own fragrances and is keen to develop his own signature scent. Gerard admits there’s a lot of work to be done before the perfume is released because he’s got no idea what he wants it to smell like.
“I need a perfume,” the 40-year-old star told BBC Radio 1’s Scott Mills Show. “I need to tell my publicist to get on that. He’s not got me any worthwhile branding. Clive Owen has his aftershave, Ewan McGregor has cologne. What do I have? Nothing. I don’t know what it would be like, but I need one.”
Gerard is famous for his rugged good looks, but he recently revealed it takes him “hours” to achieve his trademark dishevelled appearance.
He said: “It’s amazing how much time and effort it takes for me to look rumpled.”

Hahahaha…gross. Take a bath, jerk. I mean, I love my guy, my future husband, my immortal beloved and everything, but he seriously needs to shower, shave and gargle with some mouthwash. I’ll totally get on that when we’re married. As for Ewan and Clive – well, they’re hot and sexy, and they always look clean, you know? Especially Clive. In Clive’s Lancome Hypnose ads, you can just know that motherf-cker smells good. Ewan has his moments where he looks like he sort of smells, but his Davidoff ads play into his sort of rugged, “I’ll do you in the woods and you’ll love it” mystique.
In other Gerard news, he joked around with photographers by “pulling a Michael Jackson” and dangling a blanket-covered fake baby out of his hotel window (photographs here). Now people are all up in arms, saying sh-t like “it’s too soon” and “respect the dead, dude”. I think Gerry’s getting a bad rap on that one – I mean, when Michael Jackson did, the world sort of imploded and everyone criticized him for it. Gerry was just having a little fun. Instead of playing around with the paparazzi, though, he should try using his hotel room to, you know, take a shower.

sounds like his talk of wanting a perfume was in jest, but it was still cute.
“Take a bath, jerk.” Tough love, Kaiser!

It does look like he burst a blood vessel in his eye. I have done that before- except it was all of the vessels and while it looked super creepy, its not painful at all… so don’t worry Kaiser, I’m sure your future husband is fine!

He should start with a shower gel and use it himself.

That ain’t pink-eye, that’s broken blood vessels. He’s either whacked his eye (or somebody else did) but he’s got no black eye so that’s not it.
My theory? He’s (still) drinking (again) because that kind of burst blood vessels comes from puking my friends – puking HARD.

Imagine the scents: barroom floor at closing time… Backalley garbage can during a sanitation strike…

And that’s why I love clean-cut Matt Damon.

Bill: Yeah, I agree that excessive boozing is most likely the culprit. Both in regards to the burst vessel, and the fact that he looks like shit, overall.

Kaiser I listened to the interview and he was totally joking about it.
Having said that, indeed he needs a good bath… and some sleep.
as for the MJ thing, people need to chill out. He shouldn’t have done it but it was funny.

That Davidoff ad with Ewan is HOT.

A broken blood vessel in the eye can be caused by things as simple as stress and lack of sleep.
Given the relentless PR push he’s just been on, this is likely the cause.

I woke up with one of those this past Saturday, naturally on the day of a big event. It wasn’t at all painful, but it was ugly as hell and Visine only cleared it very slightly. I just told the family I was visiting that I went to bed an average woman and woke up Nosferatu.

Does he wear contacts? I burst a blood vessel in my eyes once trying to get my contact out. It was a very My Big Fat Greek Wedding contact moment.

I broke blood vessels in my eye by blowing my nose too hard. Luckily for me, it happened days before Halloween so I had a built-in costume. Was not painful at all but I spent two weeks cringing with anxiety everytime I had to look up from my counter to serve a customer. Their looks of utter horror/disgust became harder to deal with

#1- he was joking in the interview
#2- the Michael J improv hanging baby off balcony was funny shiz, albeit he has a goofy sense of humor (much like mine)
#3- broken blood vessel, can also be caused by rubbing your eye in your sleep
Mari out.

I’m with Mari and all three. I would have loved to see the fake baby off the balcony. LOL.

More like his own liquor brand. Your man can look like Gerard Butler if you drink enough of it. Oh – wait – Boonesfarm already has that nailed…
