Gerard Butler was spotted arriving in Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday (December 24). He took some time off from his new movie "Of Men and Mavericks" to make the trip, putting family before career.
When he went home to Scotland for Christmas, he managed to get out of washing any dishes.
"There were a couple of times when I saw people in the kitchen and I thought I could be doing a little bit more. ‘Do you know what I’ve just been through? You’re lucky I’m here. And you’re going to ask me - it’s washing up! It’s water! I can’t even see the water, any kind of foam - it’s too much, what if I fall in?’"
He flew to London after his New Year holiday in Scotland to attend a special screening of his new movie Coriolanus on January 5th. Gerard Butler was seen at The Box nightclub on Friday (January 6) in London, England.

He was joined on the carpet by his Machine Gun Preacher co-star Michelle Monaghan, who was honored with an award during the evening. That evening, Gerard also checked out the premiere of the film Rampart during the festival.
Gerard recently spoke with the Los Angeles Times and teared up while discussing the film.
"This happened to me a lot when we were filming. I would just be overcome. I feel every emotion. I haven’t talked much about this movie in a while, and I did the other day, and I just started crying. I cried for about five minutes," he explained. "I think it was a great responsibility for Gerry to play the role of a guy who is alive, a guy who is as dynamic as Sam with a story that’s so incredible,” Jason told the LAT. “During the sessions, and even when we were filming, I saw him going deeper and deeper [into the role]. It was an incredible burden [for him]."
On September 11th, Gerard Butler and his Coriolanus co-star Jessica Chastain attend the Killer Joe party at the Toronto International Film Festival at vitaminwater Rooftop in Toronto, Canada.

Gerard Butler was admitted in the private clinic "Ristic" in Belgrade Monday evening. "Press" learned that the actor who is in the Serbian capital for two weeks for the filming of Coriolanus, was taken to the clinic by the producers of the film. He was immediately admitted by the doctor on duty and after a thorough examination was found out that he had very high blood pressure.
"The actor came to the clinic around 6pm and after being examined and had a blood test, had blood transfusion. The doctors found out the elevated blood pressure was due to the consumption of large quantities of food and drinks, which led to mild poisoning, because he is not used to our kitchen. He was very tired because during the last few days, along with the shooting of the movie, he enjoy the charm of the Belgrade nightlife. Butler made a good impression on the clinic staff and did not behave like a star. After he felt better, he was taken to his apartment in hotel "Hyatt" and he continued shooting the next day, " a spokesman of "Press" said. The "Ristic"'s department of Public Relations refused to comment. Sanya Mardanov, head of the department neither confirmed nor denied whether or not Butler was admitted by them.
"The position of our institution is clear - we respect the privacy of all our patients, no matter if they are ordinary citizens or famous celebrities," Sanya Mardanov said.
