Gerard Butler thinks people are "insane" for calling him "sexy".
The Scottish actor - who bulked up for comic book movie '300' in 2007 - finds it weird people want him to show off his toned torso, but he always gives any flesh baring scenes his all.
He said: "I do tend to get asked to take my clothes off in films quite a lot. Trust me, if I could leave my clothes on in a movie, I'd rather do that any time. But if I'm going to get undressed I'm going to do it as well as I can. Whenever I hear people say that's sexy... for the few people that say that, I think, 'Are you insane?' "
I'm in New York right now filming and I'm in heaven
The 39-year-old hunk is rumoured to be dating his 'The Bounty' co-star Jennifer Aniston.
Although neither Gerard or Jennifer are yet to give anything away regarding a possible romance, the actor admits it has been "heaven" working with the former 'Friends' star.
He said: "She is one classy lady. Everyday I go to work with her I'm always surprised about how cool, easy and down to earth and real she is.
"I'm in New York right now filming and I'm in heaven. I can't always say that about movies."
After being a bit unhappy with some of the portrayals in Knocked Up, what does Katherine Heigl do? She signs on to star in a new romcom called The Ugly Truth, which Christopher Campbell told you about in November. The flick will focus on a "romantically challenged" morning show producer who deals with a chauvinistic correspondent trying to teach her how to find love. There's nothing like saying Knocked Up is sexist and then signing up for a movie where she gets taught love by a chauvinist.
Now Variety reports that Gerard Butler will be the guy to "guide" her. He's going to play a man called Mike Alexander, who is the "host of a TV segment titled 'The Ugly Truth.'" Heigl's character is "reluctantly embroiled by her chauvinistic correspondent (Butler) in a series of outrageous tests to prove his theories on relationships and help her find love." Well, I guess he was just done with all that uber thoughtfulness from P.S. I Love You.
To give a little credit to the project -- it's teaming director Robert Luketic with writers Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith -- they're the team behind Legally Blonde, which was a surprisingly fun film that cut through a lot of stereotypes. But still. A film where a man who finds women, or whose behavior indicates that he finds them, to be inferior teaches a smart, successful, and attractive woman how to find love is condescendingly passe.
If, however, the description is painting a falsely poor light on the film, I sure hope they correct it soon.
