Since the beginning of the year, my imaginary boyfriend Gerard Butler has been in and around Philadelphia filming Law Abiding Citizen with Jamie Foxx. It’s been a relatively tight set, believe me – I’ve been trolling the Philadelphia media outlets for any hint of what’s happening with my boy. The biggest “scoop” I’ve seen was Gerry’s comments at some event where the Philadelphia mayor honored the cast and crew. Gerry mentioned to the press that he likes a woman who can talk dirty to him. Yowzah.
The NBC affiliate in Philadelphia put up a nice, funny little story about the film production. Whoever authored this piece sells it as “Gerard Butler naked and giving away massages” which made me squeal a little bit, I’ll admit. Here are the details:
All right, I know I’ve gotten your attention by selling the story like a cheap, cheap whore. So let me be clear:
1.) Gerard Butler is naked in the Philadephia area [Friday].
2.) Gerard Butler is a kind man who brings a masseuse on set for the tired and sore crew members.
Butler stars in Law Abiding Citizen, the F. Gary Gray movie that has been filming all over Philadelphia in the past two months, with co-star Jamie Foxx. [Friday] Butler [was] filming nude scenes on a closed set in New Hope. Though the movie has also filmed at prisons in the Northeast and Delaware County, Butler’s nudity is not for a dropping-of-the-soap prison scene. Our source said that the nudity in question is for a scene in which police break into Butler’s character’s home.
Our confidential informant has yet to answer whether or not Butler is still in “300” shape, or tell us any other naked truths. Our informant is a very, very straight man. Which is annoying in this situation.
As for the massages, Butler personally paid for a masseuse to come on set last week so that the exhausted crew, which has been working days and nights, could relax a bit.
Butler is the Scottish actor best known for his role of King Leonidas in 300 and also starred in Phantom of the Opera and that Hillary Swank chick flick P.S. I Love You (P.S. It’s horrible. But we won’t hold that one against him.).

Oh. My. God. This movie has a scene in which a naked Gerard Butler is running away from the police? Please, please, God, don’t let this scene be cut. This scene makes my life. This scene gives me hope for a just world. This scene could stop wars. This scene could help the sick. The sick of mind, I mean. The kind of sickness that only a naked Gerard Butler can cure.
As far as the massages go, that just seems like a really nice thing to do. I’ve read that Sandra Bullock does something very similar on every film she produces, she hires two massage therapists to help the whole cast and crew. Gerard Butler is such a sweetheart. A naked sweetheart. Running from the police. God, I can’t wait for this film.
Here’s Gerard as close to naked as I could get him: on vacation in Florida in January. Images thanks to BauerGriffinOnline.
