Lol I live in the area he grew up. He still comes back to visit relatives, and to go to the pub and order all the locals in pizza. I haven't met him myself however I regularly hear of him being here visiting and getting spotted at the local corner shop. He's a great actor, my favourite movie of his is 300. I am very proud of him ❤️ Such a lovely guy ❤️ Makes Paisley Proud ❤️
I always really adored Gerard’s voice in Phantom. It’s the version I probably listen to the most because he has a nice, haunting/gravelly tone to his voice which works to give the character an edge. It maybe isn’t Broadway-style, but it adds something to the film’s performance.
I agree with you since phantom isn't supposed to be trained like others were of his time plus it says in the novel he is more advanced then the other singers of his time, his voice is beautiful
My friend and I used to argue about "Phantom" cause I loved Gerard's voice and she found it "wrong." He's not a trained operatic singer but his voice/style suits the role so well!
I feel ya. I actually prefer actors who will sing over singers who have to act in a film. Especially a film like this. They made the Phantom a self-taught genius, so he didn't have outside direction in is learning to sing (as a character). When you pick it up on your own, you'll have your own peculiarities. So it made sense to me, character wise that he wouldn't have that "perfect" operatic voice. He made up for it with his heightened emotions to stretch his ability. You can FEEL him. I like what he did, and considering how he acted, it makes sense. I thought he did great
This is one of the most wholesome interviews I’ve ever watched. The man genuinely loves what he does and I love that for him. Had a smile on my face the entire time.
It's because the ending is one of the worst of all time. Great movie, sad that the ending was originally much better too. Classic case of executives messing with the directors cut.
it came as complete shocker to me and a mate who sat down to watch it, came out of nowhere with the hard hitting scenes, we were not expecting the torture either.
funny how he can say he cant sing and yet our school literally use this movie as a lesson to teach us about music and theater , we actually reenact this movie!
everyone talking about his role in 300 but he absolutely DEMOLISHED Phantom. The way he seemed to sing with his entire body and soul with such monstrous energy made him a charismatic and terrifying Phantom
I love it! It's fantastic isn't it? I love seeing actors who are so grateful and thankful to be in the position that they're in and that they realize how lucky they are to be able to make a good living out of pretending to be someone else.
He made me sob in phantom of the opera. His rendition of the phantom was so heartbreaking and he gave me chills with his performance. Also his voice suited so well to the phantom. Amazing amazing role. ✨❤

Not only that: It has one of the best parodies of all times: NO JOKE watch this masterpiece: (This video is Pre-SFM) ruclips.net/video/HjGrHBpfqCo/видео.html
The "this is Sparta" line, had it been any different at all, would not have had the same cultural impact that it did. It was completely perfect. It truly is an incredibly influential line that everyone who has seen the movie remembers.
You're only saying that becasue you are used to that delivery. Guaranteed if it was said another way you would be saying "I can't imagine it being shouted".
I learned so much about GB watching this, I had no idea he’d done phantom of the opera. That type of role takes serious confidence. What a likeable guy.
It's hilarious that Gerard improved the yelling and the kick for "THIS IS SPARTA" it is literally one of the most iconic lines in movie history and it will ALWAYS be one of my favorite moments of all time

He doesn’t always pick the best scripts but I still watch whatever he puts out there, cuz he’s always holding up his end and turning in good performances.
The Phantom is still hands down my favorite role of his. He portrayed that character is such a unique way that I truly fell in love with it. In my mind, no other 'Phantom' comes close to Gerard's--singing and acting wise.
100% I think that's where I first saw Gerard ever in a movie besides How to Train Your Dragon. I still listen to that soundtrack. Gerard thinks he doesn't sing good but I believe otherwise
if by "no ohter Phantom comes close to Gerards" you mean the others can ACTUALLY SING, you're right. I love Gerard Butler, but this was one of the greatest miscasts of all time.
I’m an avid believer of Christine made the right choice by going with Raol except for Gerard’s Phantom cause I wouldn’t have hesitated to stay for his Phantom
I can't believe how humble he talks about himself saying, "i can't believe i get to play this part" while I'm here searching for each and every movie he's been on so i can watch him more and more. He's THE BEST. I LOVE YOU GERARD BUTLER.
Gerard Butler did the most iconic stunt scene himself, including improvising the iconic line, “This is Spartaaaaa!” Amazing actor! He was destined to play that role!
@axertrybal nope. No way. Doesn't have the voice. Way too short. I can't think of anyone with the commanding voice and physical presence Gerard Butler has.
That's what I say especially to my kids do what u like and enjoy it I'm a truck driver after doing construction for over 10 yrs and I tell people I love it I'd do it for free if I could or maybe not 😂 but I love it
Who else posted this exact thing themselves before scrolling down and seeing it? It was awesome...but his movies are pretty bad. (Admit it, you skip through to the fight scenes in 300 too)
@@Gazmus Pretty bad? His Man of Steel and Batman v Superman are some of the best films ever. I'll never understand the lack of appreciation for them. They are great.
Law Abiding Citizen was one of the few movies I could not predict one scene to the next. A rare surprise yet wasnt unpredictable for stupid reasons. That is the closest thing to a perfect movie we have. IMO, 10/10.
GB caught my attention when I saw him in Time Line. The Scene in the river holding on to the raft -- he took the audience to that moment and I said, this guys is going to be big. I have so enjoyed watching him grow in his career and have loved the entertainment along the way. Keep Going GB!
I loved his voice in Phantom of the Opera. I think a lot of people objected because they were so use to Michael Crawford's rendition, but I'd never seen the performance before the film, so I feel like I was coming in with unbiased eyes. He brought a very masculine feel to it. Can't really get on board with those who complain it doesn't fit with the novel because the musical doesn't fit with it at all either. It's ALW's vision, and he stated in an interview that he had always envisioned a more rock and roll sort of gruff vocal for that part.
I loved him as the Phantom! He made me love him and i felt so bad for him! My two sons watched this movie about 100 times and i have to say, i wished they would watch something else after that many times but there cannot be another Phantom than Gérard Butler!!
I wish he could be King Leonidas forever !!!! He played that character so well , it was so believable , i was very proud watching him delivering the spirit and mentality of an ancient Greek hero !!!!
Awe, he's so authentic and salt of the earth guy. His charm and love of his job as an actor really comes across. It's why I love all of his movies, it comes across the screen a lot. My favorite of his is P.S. I Love You and Machine Gun Preacher.
@shane Nicholas Some actors are better than others and some actors are a poor choice for a certain type of character they're meant to play. Some actors are just bad. Being an actor doesn't mean that one is particularly good at acting although you're more likely to be good at it.
Law Abiding Citizen is one of my favorite movies of all time. The "villain" is someone you truly understand why they go down the path they chose and you somewhat root for him to succeed. Absolute genius story writing and acting.
Gerard did a good job for me playing Erick in The Phantom of the Opera. I did not find any fault and I loved how he sang. I am glad that he accepted the role there because I fell in love
He's saying how he got the role for Leonidas.. Had it be any other person... It would never be that legendary... That's like Heath Ledger for Joker, perfection!
DrGreenThumbNZL wtf are you talking about? It sounds like you liked Jared Letos Joker. Heath Ledgers performance in that movie is one of the greatest I’ve ever seen, and his version of the Joker was also really good.
I love how passionate he is about his roles because a lot of people play this fake humility like past roles are whatever and here he matches your energy on being excited about those movies
nandan avadhani meeting him is SUPER underwhelming. Idk why everyone puts him on a pedastool. I mean I get it, Keanu amirite? But I read he doesn’t like being walked up on, so I just casually said what up. Literally just stared at me and said, Hey. 😂
Thanks for the support. It's my pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my movies? I will have to call you My Super Fan
I love how much energy he has describing his roles. It makes its so much more satisfying and fun to see an actor be so genuinely passionate and excited to talk about his roles.
The amount of times I’ve watched how to train your dragon is almost a bad thing. When I clicked on this video and heard his voice my eyes lit up like “that’s the guy” Gerard is one of my favorite actors and I love all of the moves he is in. His performance as Leonidas perfectly encapsulates a Spartans mentality towards war. I just love it.
I remember first seeing him in Dracula 2000. Not a big speaking part, but his energy on the screen made me swoon in my seat. And then when he sang in Phantom... Yeah, he's an amazing actor and nothing will convince me otherwise.
Thanks for the love and support. I decided to take out time today out of my busy schedule to get close to my fans and know their thoughts towards my career and I came across you through my official RUclips CHANNEL insight.
I can't imagine the line "THIS IS SPARTA!" being delivered any other way than it was in the final film. It's one of the greatest moments in movie history.
As an opera singer he did 10 out 10 for an actor , but as King Leonidas he delivered in an amazing way !!! I would say 20 out of 10 . He was into it fully and i loved him for that because i am Greek !!!
It's too bad the ending is so weak compared to the rest of the film. Clyde should've won instead of being killed off just because Jamie's character needed to win.
I'm glad he went with his guts, "THIS IS SPARTA!" is an iconic line for sure.
An anime I watched made a reference to it once... that’s when you know “iconic” is an understatement 😂
Isnt it trippy to think something so iconic could have not been if he chose to act it out differently and it could have not been so iconic
Agree!!
Yeah. It is so overtop that it went beyond what we find ridiculous and gets into the unexpected zone.

He seems like a genuinely joyful bloke. I bet he's fun to hang out with.
@jeff deathrage I notice you, we see you Jeff. You exist.
jeff deathrage we want you, but we are scared, that you don’t know nagnullat. You’re amazing
Nagnullat he is I met him and he’s genuine
He's so passionate in acting, it's really fun to watch
I loved his voice in Phantom of the Opera. I think a lot of people objected because they were so use to Michael Crawford's rendition, but I'd never seen the performance before the film, so I feel like I was coming in with unbiased eyes. He brought a very masculine feel to it. Can't really get on board with those who complain it doesn't fit with the novel because the musical doesn't fit with it at all either. It's ALW's vision, and he stated in an interview that he had always envisioned a more rock and roll sort of gruff vocal for that part.
I loved him as the Phantom! He made me love him and i felt so bad for him! My two sons watched this movie about 100 times and i have to say, i wished they would watch something else after that many times but there cannot be another Phantom than Gérard Butler!!
I cant imagine an other actor in 300. This was no acting, this was love.
“I could feel Leonidas coming into me”
Gerald Butler, 2020
I would love to feel that too 😉😉
Everyone relax 😂
You had to say that!
@@jasminnemcdonald94A Lol
@@lolaweiskopf Dude, you need a doctor.
He's such a likable person. I've always liked him as an actor.
Gerard Butler seems like he's always on the verge of burping.
Dylan Murphy 😂😂😂
Dylan Murphy thats how all of us Scots are😂
I never realized that until you said that!!! I laughed so hard I burped!! Well played ... well played🤣🤣
Um yeah. He's Scottish XD
Dylan Murphy 😂😂😂
Love the EXCITEMENT Gerard has in just reminiscing about his roles . The love he has for what he does is addictive!!! Big FAN!!!!
"This is Sparta" - his performance on 300 was epic and phenomenal.
I absolutely loved his Phantom of the Opera role 😲
The way he could sing so sweet and the next moment growl like a madman was so amazing
Mi sha he was so dreamy! Makes me want to choose the phantom ❤️❤️❤️
Me to
I could watch him talk forever. He just seems to be such an honest and humble personality.
I wish he could be King Leonidas forever !!!! He played that character so well , it was so believable , i was very proud watching him delivering the spirit and mentality of an ancient Greek hero !!!!
Awe, he's so authentic and salt of the earth guy. His charm and love of his job as an actor really comes across. It's why I love all of his movies, it comes across the screen a lot. My favorite of his is P.S. I Love You and Machine Gun Preacher.
When I found out the actor for the Phantom of the Opera also played the leading role in 300, my mind was blown
NinjaMDA Same here. I was blown away
same!
Very versatile actor
That's me with P.S. I Love You... I was like what?!!! He's the phantom??? Lol
@shane Nicholas Some actors are better than others and some actors are a poor choice for a certain type of character they're meant to play. Some actors are just bad. Being an actor doesn't mean that one is particularly good at acting although you're more likely to be good at it.
Law Abiding Citizen is one of my favorite movies of all time. The "villain" is someone you truly understand why they go down the path they chose and you somewhat root for him to succeed. Absolute genius story writing and acting.
Should have called the video: “Fall in Love With Gerard Butler in 15 Minutes or Less”
More like fall DEEPER in love!🤣
Thanks for your love and support
Message on whatsapp +1(267) 477-4023
every video would be called that
He seems so down to earth. He speaks with such realness and passion. Time to binge on some Gerard Butler movies!
@@02167631 i did the same thing when i first watched this!! >.
Gerard did a good job for me playing Erick in The Phantom of the Opera. I did not find any fault and I loved how he sang. I am glad that he accepted the role there because I fell in love
you can tell he is so deeply in love with what he does. the process, the teamwork, the technicalities, all of it. so invigorating!
He was great in Phantom, I was really surprised to find out A: that HE was the Phantom, and B: that he did his own singing.
He's saying how he got the role for Leonidas.. Had it be any other person... It would never be that legendary... That's like Heath Ledger for Joker, perfection!
Lol heath ledgers joker sucked , that movie sucked , you dipshits just follow the fad because he died
DrGreenThumbNZL wtf are you talking about? It sounds like you liked Jared Letos Joker. Heath Ledgers performance in that movie is one of the greatest I’ve ever seen, and his version of the Joker was also really good.
@@PaPaCaKeZZ you and oli should hook up and watch brokeback mountain together
I'm on a binge watching every one of his movies. This is great in the middle of it. One of the best actors.
When I saw him as the phantom my life changed forever. My 13 year older heart was like “this is it. It’s over for me.”
Hello my Lady
Thank you for liking and supportIng my movies and I hope to bring you more entertainment ☺️
Yo SAME he was my first celebrity crush
Love how he jokes about not being able to sing, but I absolutely loved his performance in the Phantom of the Opera
Yeah, he is awesome as the phantom. No one can play phantom the way he can.
I love how passionate he is about his roles because a lot of people play this fake humility like past roles are whatever and here he matches your energy on being excited about those movies
My favorite of your movies is Phantom of the Opera. Beautiful movie. I cried 😢.
Get keanu reeves to do this it would be amazing
Keanu doesnt do roles, he does Keanu. He isnt acting, just being his badass self
As this point, im starting to think he is jesus
nandan avadhani meeting him is SUPER underwhelming. Idk why everyone puts him on a pedastool. I mean I get it, Keanu amirite?
But I read he doesn’t like being walked up on, so I just casually said what up. Literally just stared at me and said, Hey. 😂
Reanu Keeves is waiting.
Just don't kill his dog.
He loves his job so much! I love how jovial he is
Thanks a lot I will like to talk to you
@I'm AnesonOD as if it is , just another youtube fraudster
Thanks alot,I feel loved
Thanks for the support. It's my pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my movies? I will have to call you My Super Fan
If you like Gerard Butler do yourself a huge favor and watch Rocknrolla. It also features Tom Hardy and Edris Elba.
Such a good movie!!
Idris
Gerard and Hardy in the same movie?
I was so excited for the real rocknrolla. Sadly it never happened.
Also Toby kebbell!
Patrick Wilson and Gerard Butler were great in their roles in Phantom of The Opera. Two out of three ain't bad.
I love how much energy he has describing his roles. It makes its so much more satisfying and fun to see an actor be so genuinely passionate and excited to talk about his roles.
A BAND OF THIEVES
GREAT FLICK!
He will always be Leonidas.
I skipped over everything else and just watched the 300 part. He will always be Leonidas.
Just like Heath Ledger will always be the Joker lol? Leonidas will always be Leonidas. Gerard Butler will always be Gerard Butler.
@@segwolfxviii2919 shutup cornball
@@xdmobb17x17 btw Askren isn't Cringe. Fighters like Ferguson and Masvidal are.
The fact that he said: "to make Leonidas proud." Awesome.
The amount of times I’ve watched how to train your dragon is almost a bad thing. When I clicked on this video and heard his voice my eyes lit up like “that’s the guy” Gerard is one of my favorite actors and I love all of the moves he is in. His performance as Leonidas perfectly encapsulates a Spartans mentality towards war. I just love it.
He should have won in *Law Abiding Citizen.*
I didn't like Jamie foxxs character, wanted butler to get away with everything
@@princesspancakes01 wait, Jamie foxes character was the good guy?
They're pretty careful about letting the 'bad guy' win in movies like this. They don't wanna incite or endorse anything.
Love that movie. I wish that Butler's character got away with it at the end, instead of Foxx's character figuring it out.
@@princesspancakes01 he was the good guy.
I remember first seeing him in Dracula 2000. Not a big speaking part, but his energy on the screen made me swoon in my seat. And then when he sang in Phantom... Yeah, he's an amazing actor and nothing will convince me otherwise.
Thanks for the love and support. I decided to take out time today out of my busy schedule to get close to my fans and know their thoughts towards my career and I came across you through my official RUclips CHANNEL insight.
I was rooting for Gerard the whole time in Law abiding citizen...
Silver Kyo same I loved his character and I felt bad for him too
Yeah, you and everybody else. I have never met a man who said "Oh no, I rooted for the lawyer and his bunch"
He should if played of his death
So was everyone else. I still can't believe in the other fool got him in the end.
Lord Hades
Pft. They only did it cuz the good guy has to win. Smh.
❤️ *300 (Also Zack direction was amazing and glad he pitched it to WB), How To Train A Dragon 1 & 2 and Law Abiding Citizen.*
We demand Kurt Russell Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters!
That would be a long and wonderful video.
Snake Plissken !
If its not two hours or more I call BS
Including his Disney roles
Jack Burton and the Porkchop Express
I can't imagine the line "THIS IS SPARTA!" being delivered any other way than it was in the final film. It's one of the greatest moments in movie history.
As the Phantom, his voice just... STOLE ME!!!
BlueHoodieGamer132 same here. It took me off guard and it was rough in a good way. I thought it worked great with the atmosphere of the film
Gerard was perfect for Leonidas with his accents and menacing presence i can’t imagine anyone playing Leonidas besides him
Man he loves his job.. Such a contagious energy
He can't sing and he's definitely not greek.
- Proceeds to be a great Phantom and an epic Leonidas.
Cobalt he would have been a great Phantom in a different version... like a movie based on the book rather than the musical. He can’t sing the part.
@@katiekirby5319 Sure, he's not as good as an actual singer but still good enough. I'd really like to see him in an movie based on the book though.
As an opera singer he did 10 out 10 for an actor , but as King Leonidas he delivered in an amazing way !!! I would say 20 out of 10 . He was into it fully and i loved him for that because i am Greek !!!
He knows how to play the flute and like to go Greek though...
I wanted him to knock it out of the park. But he’s just not a Lyric tenor. He’s a classic baritone, like most men are.
Ummm, Gerrard, you were the hero in law abiding citizen.
Definitely !!!
It's too bad the ending is so weak compared to the rest of the film. Clyde should've won instead of being killed off just because Jamie's character needed to win.
There was absolutely no hero in that movie. You people gotta stop this.
he really wasn't
Word
Mr butler is a jolly guy and amazing actor ,I loved gods of Egypt
