Gerard Butler got angry after hearing chiefs at the NHS (National HealthService) Greater Glasgow and Clyde health board are threatening to axe the kids' ward at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, near Glasgow.
He said: "I keep in touch with what's going on at home through my mother. This proposed closure is shocking and I'm happy to lend what support I can. Various members of my family have reasons to be thankful for ward 15. For the ward to close, and for the RAH to lose the skills and jobs that would go along with it, is a blow Paisley can do without. I am happy to support this campaign in its efforts in whatever way possible."
The health board said: "There will be full public consultation before any final decision is reached and, ultimately, ministerial approval."

According to Serbian site svet.rs Gerard Butler was admitted in a hospital this Monday.
Here's what the site says:
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.

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.
