Hunk of The Week 14/9/09 - Gerard Butler ver 2

[WillsBabe]

Auntiehill tells me that Gerry hasn't been on a date since week 21. Since it's week 125 of our Hunk o' the Week, I thought he could do with another outing!

Gerard James Butler was born 13th November in 1969. He's a Scottish actor most famous for his portrayal of King Leonidas in 300. Other notable roles are as the Phantom in The Phantom and PS, I Love You.

In the early part of his film and tv career his most notable work was in The Jury, a critically acclaimed UK TV miniseries. In Timeline (2003) he starred with Billy Connolly. Also in 2003, he starred as Terry Sheridan opposite Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life. The following year he was cast in the title role of Joel Schumacher's film of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera.

Severl films later, in 2005 Butler began production of 300, also starring Terminator: Sarah Connor Chroncile's Lena Headey. The film was released in 2007 and tells the story of the events surrounding the 480 (BC) story of the Battle of Thermopylae .

Butler's films are cross-genre affairs from violent actioners (The Gamer)[advertising banner to be seen soon at the top of a BBS page near you] to rom-coms (The Ugly Truth). He's soon to be seen with Jamie Foxx in Law Abiding Citizen, and with Jennifer Anninston (a pairing the tabloids seem desparate to make real) in The Bounty.

Gerry is said to be a reformed heavy smoker. He shares his life with Lolita, his pug dog and splits his time between the UK and LA.

Hey, if you're going to duplicate, then duplicate the good stuff, right?

This man definitely gets a thumbs-up from me. Here's one of my favorite pictures of him, from 300.

HOLY MAMA.......

And one of my favorite movies of his is Dear Frankie, where he plays the mysterious stranger.

See, I knew that I hadn't post enough pictures. Here are another few random pics:

HOT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RJDiogenes]

Well, I've never seen him in anything, but he's obviously a hunk; and I like the kilt and leather jacket combo.

 

[JustKate]

I have not seen most of these things he's been in, but...yeah. Just on looks alone, he gets a thumbs up from me. If I find out he has a squeaky voice or comes across as a jackass or a prima donna or a shallow bore, you guys are gonna owe me, though.

 

[Joy]

OMG. His niece with the red hair looks EXACTLY like my step-niece. WOAH.

I give him two thumbs and two big toes up! Hottie hot hottie!

I'm just a sucker for these Scottish men...

[auntiehill]

That is a GREAT picture! *swoon*

 

[sidious618]

I give him the thumbs up.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Nah. Homely and potato-faced.

Waitaminute, have we done Zach Quinto yet? I honestly cannot recall.

 

[HighteeHeller]

^Yes, i did him. haha.

Man, if we get to do repeats i'm doing the next HOTW thread! Betcha can't guess.

Obviously thumbs up, the man oozes sexy out of every pore.

 

[auntiehill]

Let me check....*checks list. checks it twice. Going to find out who...Oh never mind.*

That fellow in your av was #2 on our hunks list. If you want to do the Hunk thread next week, you are more than welcome to do repeat. As long as it's someone who hasn't been done in awhile (say, someone in the first 40 or so)--and you feel really strongly about it---I'm cool with it.

It would be nice if we didn't repeat, and I appreciate it when we don't, but damn, it gets really difficult to come up with someone new every week.

I'll be gone most of this week, so if you are volunteering, it's all yours!

edited to add: I will gone most of next week, too, so if you want to do the thread next week, go right ahead.

 

[WillsBabe]

Nah. Homely and potato-faced.

Man, I love potatoes!

Waitaminute, have we done Zach Quinto yet? I honestly cannot recall.

I dunno. I know someone on this board posted a great picture of him on a motorbike. That might have been from Hunk of the Week.

 

[HighteeHeller]

^I did Quinto a few weeks ago.

Gerard Butler is the first time i've seen a repeat though. But hey if they are that hot then we might as well look at em as much as we can right?

Sure i will take the next few weeks.

 

[Joy]

Has David Tennant been featured in this Hunk of the Week thing yet?

Now there's another Scottish hottie.

Man, I have varying tastes; quite a bit of difference from Gerard Butler to David Tennant, eh? LOL

Joy *skipping off to look at more Gerard Butler piccies*

 

[HighteeHeller]

Ya, Tennant has been done as well.

Cool. This week is covered, but you can do you-know-who for next week.

 

[WillsBabe]

Joy *skipping off to look at more Gerard Butler piccies*

My work here is done.

Just so folks know, the reason that this week is a duplicate is because I wasn't in the rota and auntiehill pm'd me to see if I could play. Gerry was a last minute entry.

 

[HighteeHeller]

^Who cares, he's hot.

Here is a somewhat complete list of all the hunks we have done. This was compiled just before the retro hunks started. I think auntiehill would know or have a more complete list.

 

[auntiehill]

Yes, I have a complete list. I'm out of town right now, but I should be back Saturday. I'll post it then, if you like.
