Gerard Butler was spotted partaking in numerous festivities at the Cannes Film Festival.
He got all dressed up in a tux and bow tie on Friday evening (May 18) to attend the Haiti Carnival festival with other A-listers including, Sean Penn and Jada Pinkett Smith.
While inside the Armani presented event, which benefited J/P HRO Artists for Peace and Justice & Happy Hearts Fund, he was spotted laughing and chatting it up with friends, while giving a go at a traditional Haitian music instrument.
Gerard was brought onstage by filmmaker Paul Haggis, who included tea with the actor as part of a big prize - a Golden Globe weekend pass. The final bidder ended up buying the impressive package for more than $125,000, but insisted that he didn't want Gerard as part of the prize. The star laughed off the snub, and says it was all in good fun.
The auction raised more than $2million for the relief cause in the earthquake-torn country.
The Hollywood star attended the Hollywood Domino charity event, where guests were treated to champagne aboard a luxury yacht. However, Gerard skipped the bubbles for fizzy water from the drink-making machine, which proved a hit with the ladies. Gerard was spotted "offering one lady a sip from his plastic cup" - and was seen leaving with her a couple of hours later.
He ended Cannes with a 'wild' party. The black tie affair was held at a private mansion and attracted a crowd of stars including Zac Efron, Karolina Kurková and Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld.

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.
