Hollywood actor Gerard Butler essays roles of the love-struck dreamboat in PS I Love You and The Ugly Truth with as much ease as he does King Leonidas of 300 screaming, “This is Spartaaa.” His incredible talent would suffice for his fans, but he gives us his drool-worthy blue eyes and chocolate looks that refuse to age, even at 48.

Oh, and that Scottish accent? Sigh.

And if that weren’t enough, he won a bravery award from the Royal Humane Society of Scotland in 1997 for saving a 14-year old boy from drowning in a river during the shooting of Mrs Brown. That’s just one piece of trivia that makes him the dreamboat that he is.

So on his birthday, here’s a gift from us to us – and to all our readers. Take a look at some truly heart-stopping, saliva-dripping, mind-boggling pictures of Gerard Butler:

Gerard Butler has a degree in law from the University of Glasgow. After landing a role in a theatre production, he decided to give it up all and we’ll always be grateful he did. (Photo Courtesy: Pinterest)

At his sister’s wedding, Gerry, in a kilt, sat down forgetting the wardrobe restrictions he had. After realising his mom wasn’t asking him to pray by clasping her hands together, he finally closed his legs, disappointing many in the 400-strong crowd! (Photo Courtesy: Pinterest)

In retrospect, being a lawyer wouldn’t be half bad if it meant he would wear suits like he does ALL the time. (Photo Courtesy: Pinterest)

One photo simply doesn’t suffice.

Oh, sorry. Did we already do Gerry in a suit?

Glamour magazine dubbed him the ‘Sexist Man Alive’ in its 2016 issue and it’s clear why. (Photo courtesy: Pinterest)

So here’s to you, birthday boy. Here’s wishing more movies, great interviews, and sizzling photoshoots! (Photo courtesy: Pinterest)
