Gerard Butler secretly jetted into Scotland to be the surprise guest at his parents' 25th wedding anniversary celebrations. He walked into a restaurant near the family home in Comrie, Perthshire, on Saturday evening as the party was in full swing and surprised his mother Margaret and stepfather Alex Coll.
Gerard and a male lawyer pal from his Glasgow University days turned up at the city's Boho nightclub at midnight. Gerry stayed until 2.45am, then headed back to a hotel in the city's west end.

Gerard Butler still has reservations about becoming a dad. He
worries his career would get in the way of family life.
"Some days I think it would be great, but other days I don't because my job takes me all over the place," Gerard tells Now. "I wouldn't necessarily be around for them that much. But I can definitely imagine it happening one day. I love being an uncle and I get on well with kids."

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.
