Crush Of The Day: Gerard Butler

Playing For Keeps hits UK cinemas today, so that’s a good reason to take a look at some hot pics of Gerard Butler. The actor has been around for quite a while, starting out in small roles in the likes of Mrs. Brown and Tomorrow Never Dies.

Although he soon began to get larger parts, such as the title role in Dracula 2001 and playing Creedy in Reign Of Fire, nobody really played much attention to him until he scored the villain role in Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Cradle Of Life. That led to the likes of Timeline and The Phantom Of The Opera, but it wasn’t until 300 that he broke out into the Hollywood mainstream.

Unfortunately, since then he’s spent most of his time in middling movies such as The Ugly Truth and The Bounty Hunter, along with plenty of generic action films such as Law Abiding Citizen and Gamer. Indeed he’s in need of a bit of a hit, as in the the last few months the US releases of Chasing Mavericks and Playing For Keeps have both bombed. He’ll be hoping for better from the upcoming White House hostage flick Olympus Has Fallen, which arrives in cinemas this spring.

However, while his films haven’t always been great, Gerard’s always looked good in them, and so we’ve gathered some of his best pics below. Click on them to enlarge.
