The other weekend, Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl were at the Los Angeles Four Seasons Hotel where they had to evacuate because of a telephoned bomb threat. I will be honest in that when I heard that, I had to wonder if it was a crazed fan hoping to catch a glimpse of him. I can’t be the only one who thought that, right?
They were promoting The Ugly Truth which opens tomorrow. Gerard sat down with the Los Angeles Times and gives advice to ‘pretty girls’:
“Pretty girls, lose the attitude,” “Who needs it? Life’s too short. You’re not a brain surgeon. In Los Angeles and New York, where there’s definitely a high concentration of beautiful women . . . a lot of them take themselves way too seriously. Their beauty feels like it’s become a weapon. There’s nothing more attractive to a guy than a beautiful woman who has her defenses down.”
On second thought:
“Well, maybe not that. That sounds animalistic, like you’re on the prowl.” He then clarifies.
The most alluring thing about a woman:
“a beautiful woman who seems unaware of it.”
When asked why he is often cast as a hero of yore:
“I think it’s because of my incredible power and charisma as a person.” “I don’t know,” ”I’m fascinated with history in a dreamy way. . . . To take on these roles, when you dress up and go on these locations. . . . I find it exciting and incredibly profound.”
He admits to having met costar Katherine Heigl only two days before filming and was very impressed:
“From the second we met, I was bowled over. I always felt that Katie keeps me on my toes. I had to be on my game all the time. “Your nerve endings,” he says, relishing the memory, “they bristle a little more.” “To be honest, I think I have chemistry with everybody,”
Did you read that? He has chemistry with everyone. We all stand a chance, ladies. Will you be seeing The Ugly Truth on Friday?
