Brandi Glanville

Gerard Butler Admited he slept with Brandi Glanville, but forgot her name. "It was a one-afternooner, but it was fun," the Olympus Has Fallen actor, 43, told Howard Stern. "She is wild." But Glanville, 40, made it sound like it was a little longer than that when she went public that they slept together during a Jan. 24 episode of Watch What Happens Live. Glanville said they "had a little week of fun" and gave him an "11" out of ten when rating him as a lover. Butler was informed about Glanville's comments when a paparazzo confronted him as he was walking down a street and reportedly said, "Brandi Glanville says you're great in bed." "And you know what I said: 'Who's Brandi Glanville?'" Butler recalled to Stern. "Because one, I didn't know her last name and two, I didn't know she was a celebrity and I didn't know she was going to f--king tell people about it!" How did he not learn her name? "Here's the thing. You're at a beach party, you're having fun and this girl comes along," he says in his defense. "'So, what do you do?' She says, 'Doesn't matter.' We hung out. We had a little bit of fun." Once Butler figured out who she was, he called Glanville up. "I said one, 'I'm not very happy you did that because there are certain things you keep a little private.' And two, 'I'm sorry I said I didn't know who you were!'"

New Year's resolution

It was a near-death experience that prompted the 43-year-old to re-evaluate his existence. Butler said: "Next year my resolution is to embark on a lot of internal, more spiritual things, and explore that side of my life." "That accident made me reassess a lot of stuff. On the positive side, it made me realise you live from moment to moment. I've had a few close calls but that was probably the closest. So now I regard life as having different chapters, and it's about enjoying each one and that's my focus for 2013."

No Longer a Womanizer

Gerard Butler says that he has given up his past womanizing ways. In the past the Scottish hunk was linked to a bevy of beauties, but now that he’s settled down with girlfriend Madalina Ghenea he is more likely to found tucked up in bed with a good book than out partying. He thinks it’s funny that his reputation is so different from the reality: ”I think I’ve had that going on for a while now. I’m not saying I don’t like to have my fun but I’m nowhere near the wild kid that I once was. Sometimes you’re sitting there, doing your thing. Maybe you’re alone in bed reading your book and thinking, ‘I wish they could see me now! The crazy f***ing womanizing Gerard Butler is in bed reading’.” Speaking on the mistakes he’s made in the past, Gerard says that when he thinks about them, he knows everything happened for a reason because he learned a lesson from each negative experience and believes it has helped him to become a better person over the years: ”I think I’ve been propelled through life from one mistake to another, I can look back and say in my philosophical mode that I needed to make those mistakes and I learnt from all of them. But overall I do think that whatever happens is supposed to happen.”

But we are in touch all the time.” “I am still single because I am waiting for Priyanka Chopra,” he jokingly added.
