The radical change of Gerard Butler at 53 years old: From the abs of ‘300’ to now
Gerard Butler is one of the most charismatic actors in Hollywood, and also one of the highest paid. His career skyrocketed with abs in the movie ‘300’ and just turned 53, he is back in fashion in the movies.
He has become one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood, his image continues to be a hook for viewers and they say that you can now see his best film on Netflix: ‘Olympus under fire’.
Logically, Gerard Butler no longer has the muscles of Leonidas in ‘300’, which premiered in 2006, almost 20 years have passed! But he maintains himself very well physically and the directors and producers raffle him off for his projects.
His most recent titles are ‘The Pilot’ and ‘Operation Kandahar’. And his name in the cinema is now synonymous with action films and wild special effects.

Gerard Butler: “I am more interested in the goodness of people than perfection”
And although he no longer trains like a true Spartan, the Scottish actor still goes to the gym regularly and eats healthy to look perfect on the big screen.
“The idea of perfection is always with us, but I am more interested in thinking that there is goodness in the worst of us and a little evil in the best of us. That we can do good or do evil, but perhaps for the right reasons.
I think that humans care about each other because we carry it in our DNA. I see it in my environment, in my friends. What makes them powerful as heroes is that they don’t know that they are.
Many times it is others, their companions, husbands, family members, wives, those who know that this capacity for protection is there. And that’s why he chooses films in which he saves the world, almost… An example, Gerard Butler!
