The Daily Record just announced Gerry is the hottest Scot of 2009
MEN: Gerard Butler
Last Year (31)
A MASSIVE jump for the 40-year-old Paisley star but then Gerry, as he's known to his pals, has had some year.
Not only has he had hits with blockbusters Law Abiding Citizen and The Ugly Truth, he's also been linked with Hollywood beauty Jennifer Aniston.
Gerard started his career in Mrs Brown more than 10 years ago but it seemed with duds like The Phantom Of The Opera and beefcake roles that Gerard was going to be a jobbing actor. That was until 2006's epic 300, when Tinseltown woke up to his talent. He's since balanced rom-coms with action films.
HE'S SIZZLING BECAUSE
This year Gerard was voted the best British actor in Hollywood and International Star of the Year by Variety magazine . However, he hasn't forgotten his roots and chose Glasgow for the UK premiere of Law Abiding Citizen.

Born in Paisley, Scotland, to Margaret and Edward Butler, Gerard Butler was raised along with his older brother and sister in his hometown of Paisley, Scotland. He also spent some of his youth in Canada. His parents divorced when he was a child, and he and his siblings were raised primarily by their mother, who later remarried.
film debut was as Billy Connolly's younger brother in "Mrs. Brown (1997)". His film career continued with small roles, first in the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and then Russell Mulcahy's Tale of the Mummy (1998). In 2000, Butler was cast in two breakthrough roles, the first being Attila the Hun in the USA film Attila (2001/I) and Wes Craven's new take on the Dracula legacy - Dracula 2000 (2000).
The role that garnered him most attention from both moviegoers and movie makers alike was that of Andre Marek in the big-screen adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel Timeline (2003). He appeared in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical The Phantom of the Opera (2004), playing the title character in the successful adaptation of the stage musical. It was a role that brought him much international attention. Other projects include Dear Frankie (2004), The Game of Their Lives (2005) and Beowulf & Grendel (2005).
In 2007 he starred as Spartan King Leonidas in the Warner Bros. production 300 (2006), based on the Frank Miller graphic novel, which brought him into the A-list sphere.
