My buddy got a film into the film festival in Las Vegas, so I went with him and it turned out it was the same weekend as the Gerard Butler convention,” I had the worst weekend of my life. I thought that if they know I’ve been here and I haven’t turned up, they’ll be furious, but there’s no way I can turn up. So literally I hid in the toilet for two days, my stomach was churning the whole time. “I ended up going,” I ran in and said, ‘Hey, it’s me, thank you, thank you,’ and then ran out. It was just weird! Turning up and going, ‘Yes, I’m Gerard Butler and you’re here for my convention’.”
