Gerard Butler could be seen playing a cheeky leprechaun in an upcoming all-star fantasy movie. The Scottish actor will be digitally shrunk for the as-yet-untitled film.
The film boasts a strong starcast, including Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet and Naomi Watts. And the plot sees Butler''s character being kidnapped by Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott''s on-screen baddies, who want to steal his treasure.
"I play the most perverse, disturbing, disgusting, foul-mouthed leprechaun you could ever imagine. I've been kidnapped by Johnny and Seann so they can get their pot of gold. But they don't quite realise what they've bargained for.”
