GERARD BUTLER, 39
Butler currently splits his time between Los Angeles and New York City. He has a pug named Lolita.
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 realise I was playing Russian roulette with my health. I've stopped smoking since".[citation needed]
Butler also prefers many people calling him Gerry. The main reason, as he told Jay Leno during an appearance on The Tonight Show, was because he disliked the way people, Americans especially, pronounced Gerard.[citation needed]
Butler said in an Esquire interview in 2009 that he abstains from alcohol. Gerard Butler is rumored to be in a relationship with Jennifer Aniston, which he also denied in the interview, saying that every time he is seen with a woman near him he is assumed to be with her.
In a 2004 interview with Movieline, Butler admitted to having been in relationships with both women and men, and chooses to keep his sexuality open and unlabeled.
