Gerard Butler

Butler was born in Glasgow, Scotland, the son of Margaret and Edward Butler. His great-grandparents were from Ireland. Butler was raised in a Catholic working-class family. For the first two years of his life, he lived in Montreal, Quebec. When his parents divorced, his mother took him and his siblings, Lynn and Brian, back to Scotland, to her hometown of Paisley. He had no further contact with his father until he was sixteen years old. His father died of cancer when Gerard was 22.

Butler currently splits his time between London, Los Angeles and New York City.

Bulter is a die hard Celtic F.C. supporter.

Butler was a heavy smoker but quit smoking in 2007 when he played Gerry Kennedy in PS, I Love You. "I was smoking a huge amount and having real bad premonitions and then I got this role where the guy dies of cancer," Butler said. "The film made me contemplate death and realize I was playing Russian roulette with my health. I've stopped smoking since".

He was dating Yuliya Mayarchuk, Josie D'arby in 2005 and Rosario Dawson in 2007 and has since broken up with all. He was dating South African model Bianca Christians in 2006-2007 and has been dating NYC based Cuban-American model Jasmine Burgess since 2007, but considers himself "somewhat single" according to a recent Marie Claire UK article.

He has a pug named Lolita.
