Gerard Butler has already won my heart with his sexy Scottish accent, his cauliflower ears, his killer biceps and his “I’m Hollywood and I’ll f-ck anything with two legs and a pulse” attitude. But now he’s trying to become my soulmate. Because the way to my soul is through my stomach. Specifically, the way to my soul is through food that is battered and deep fried into oblivion. This is what Gerard likes – or so he admits to OK! Magazine UK. If Gerard had his way, he would live on batter-fried carby goodness and sugary everything forever and ever. I’m not with him on the sugary stuff – as I prefer salty to sweet – but now my sexual fantasies of Gerard will include him feeding me French fries, fried chicken strips and his wang dipped in butter or chocolate (too much?). Our first date will be at a Kentucky Fried Chicken, I just know it. Gerard also talks about how his soul is not only fried in lard, it’s also brooding and Scottish.
Actor Gerard Butler has revealed he craves fried foods popular in his homeland.
The Scottish hunk struggles to stick to the healthy eating plans he has adhere to while shooting movies, and often yearns for the calorific delicacies of his home country.
He said: “I used to live right above a fish and chip shop and I used to live on those fish and chips and the king rib supper. I diet when I have to, but I have big problems, depending on my motivation.”
“That’s the part of Scotland that haunts me – wanting to eat as many carbohydrates and as much sugar as possible.”
Although the 39-year-old screen hunk is a big fan of Scotland’s more unhealthy cuisine, one local dish he has never tried is the notorious deep-fried Mars Bar – which involves the world-famous chocolate bar being battered and fried.
He added: “I’ve never had one! It’s like a phantom to me, I hear about it but I’ve never seen it on a menu in a fish and chip shop.”
As well as pining for Scottish food, Gerard also misses the country – even though he realises he needs to live in the U.S. for the sake of his career.
The Ugly Truth actor – who has homes in New York and Los Angeles – said: “America’s where I live but it never feels like where my soul is.”
“When I come back to Scotland, I go, ‘This is it.’ It’s everything. Everything I am is Scottish. It’s what gave me every part of my personality.”

I’ve never had a deep-fried candy bar either – but I’ve had opportunities. It’s not just a local “delicacy” in Scotland, it’s also pretty popular at fairs and carnivals here in the South. When I do have a taste for something sweet and sugary (you know when, PMSers) even I think a deep-fried candy bar is too much.
So here’s my new Gerard Butler fantasy: I’m lounging around in bed when Gerard walks in, naked and carrying a tray of deep-fried treats… he says, “You’re looking much too thin! You must eat something. I’ll give you a kiss for every French fry you eat!” Mm…
Hey remember how we were worried about Gerard’s moobs? I think we know the cause now. Here are Gerard and his moobs in Manhattan on August 16th. Photos thanks to Pacific Coast News.
Oh Gerard, that’s just the moobs talking.
Ah, the infamous “moobs” pictures. Thanks, Jaybird! They do illustrate the post so well.
Imagine those moobs dipped in butter.
Too much?
oohh. He looks nasty. And not “ew” nasty. It’s a…you know he gets dirty, kind of nasty. LOL dammit! I’m at work people! no more pictures like this!
Oh Gerard, I haven’t the faintest clue who you are but I think you and I are kindred spirits. I must confess I have eaten a deep fried Mars bar, and a deep fried Oreo, and a deep fried Twinkie all presented MN State Fair style… on a stick. Other than the Oreo which was really mushy, they were very tasty. But since they were so darn sweet I felt compelled to wash them down with some fried cheese curds and a corn dog.
Oh baby! i think i need a candy bar!!
Ugghhhh, this is attractive??? I find him absolutely nasty looking – and not in a good way!!! Like blubbery and gross. (And not just in this picture) No thank you for you or your accent, which I usually love as I happen to be Scottish, but do not claim “that” as an example of a hot sexy Scotsman.
@patricia
He’s not normally my favorite side-dish either, but there’s just something about the intensity of the look on his face. Grrrr.
What the heck happened to him? He was so handsome and well built in “300”. He doesn’t even look like the same man. Yucky poo poo!
Ugh. He makes me shudder. I see not one single redeeming feature on this man. I don’t understand his popularity at all. Kind of like Russell Crowe – he always looks to me like he needs to brush his teeth.
MMmmmm, I’d like HIM covered in chocolate!!
“but now my sexual fantasies of Gerard will include him feeding me French fries, fried chicken strips and his wang dipped in butter or chocolate (too much?).”
No, Kaiser, with Gerard Butler, it’s JUST right!! 😉
Well it looks like Jennifer Aniston has no chance of a meaningful relationship with him because all she eats is salads.
I hate to admit it, but I love fried anything too! I try to avoid fried anything, but I love it when I get it.
“but now my sexual fantasies of Gerard will include him feeding me French fries, fried chicken strips and his wang dipped in butter or chocolate (too much?)”
Hahahahahaha! Ah Kaiser, never change.
Firestarter,
I know just what you mean. If I can avoid it I do, but when I am at a fair or amusement park with the smells of fried cheese curds, chicken strips, french fries, Pronto Pups, funnel cake, those wonderous little mini donuts, etc. my oft-supressed yet surprisingly dominant junk food gene (which only recognizes the Four Food Groups consisting of Sugar, Carbs, Grease, and Chocolate) takes over, and all bets are off.
Kaiser, you made my day with this! LOL!!
You and me both, buddy.
Yuck!!!! He is looking fat & bloated!
Me to…well back to the gym.
not unusual….gotta remember that Scotland is also known for deep fried pizza amongst other things.
I had a deep fried Mars bar once, at a pub in PEI…i’m not much of a sweets eater, it was ok…I wouldn’t go nuts for it again.
Coming from Nfld…I gotta admit, a fish and chip shop is pretty hard to resist if you live near one. Nflder’s also have a lot of (more traditional) dishes that are fried in pork fat, and then topped with pork scrunchions.
In conclusion, I believe what i’m getting at is that Gerry needs a good Newfoundland girl …. 😉
Gerard news are always welcome and great, but this post made me hungry!
I was just eating eucalyptus gum candy, and all of this talk about deep-fried pizza (here in Argentina is very popular too) made me want to eat something greasy.
but I’m on a weight loss program, and I’ve already managed to lose 16 kg (I think that’s near to 35 pounds) in 3 months and a half, so I’m not giving into temptation so easily this time. I think I never actually missed fried food until now. And now I’m pissed. Thanks.
@Blackwood – You lost 16 kgs in three and a half months? Good on you! Congratulations!!
Can I get him deep-fried and covered in chocolate?
This fool is grotesque, inside and out
Aren’t the Scots known for their rigor and backbone? This guy just has a belly (and yes, Kaiser, something else, too). What the attraction is, I don’t know. I’ll say one thing: women want man candy, not a man eating candy. Give it up, Gerard. There’s no such thing as resting on your laurels in Hollywood. You once had a hot body, and for the millions you’re paid, you can zip it (the mouth, if not the pants). And what’s so appealing about a promiscuous actor, anyway? If he were a woman, there would be a lot of choice words for him. But he’s a guy, so he gets a pass, even from the women. I’ll say it: lose weight or go back to Scotland.
And where in the world are u from??
Deep-fried pizza in Argentina! We have so much luxurious different things to choose from and you want THAT! We must live in different Argentinas I don´t even know where you can buy that poisonuos thing in here. Maybe Gerard,you and I can get together to eat something decent, I´ll give you both a hand on that one. Don´t worry you won´t gain any weight, Gerard and I will take care of you. Hey a girl can dream, right?
Ok well know for a fact im the youngest girl here seems that im only 14. But gerry is my idol he is an amazing actor and seems very nice to his fans ( I only know this from all the youtube videos that people post of him sadly ) but if I ever had the chance to meet him I would be the happiest person on earth. all my friends and family tell me that ill get over my crush cause hes to old for me and it bothers me so much knowing there right 🙁 I know alot about him from all the websites with facts about him on them and im starting a collection of movies with him in them and have seen alot already. In total I Probably watch 10 videos of him a day when im bored and probably 2 movies a day, watching movies with him as the main actor is my fave thing in the world an always will be.
I Love You Gerard James Butler <3
Your youngest and biggest fan EVER! and if anyone knows of a site that i can lave a comment that he actuaily checks pleas leave me a comment
There are some pretty shallow individuals posting on this site. Gerard is not a strapping young lad anymore, he is a grown man, comfortable in is own skin and confident. Those things alone make him incredibly sexy and attractive. Not to mention that he is just down right beautiful… in my opinion. If there’s anything unflattering going on this photo, it’s that he looks tired and who can blame him with the life he’s chosen. I just hope that he’s happy. Well, that and I hope that someday I might have fish and chips with him!!
