In the interview above [trivia], music, Gerard speaks of incredible synchronicities. Wish I knew a little psychology but thought this was interesting about Steven Berkoff who gave Gerard his start and then stared with him as his uncle in the tv movie Attila. It seems that both have experienced their father's rejection, not the same but rejection nevertheless. .
I often wondered if they knew this about each other. Not an unheard of combination of actor and person seeking approval, as both have sought most of their lives, but it has made them the people they are.
Father's rejection still affects actor Steven Berkoff
3 September 2013 Last updated at 09:28 BST
Actor, writer and director, Steven Berkoff, has told HARDtalk's Allan Little that being rejected by his father has shaped his personality.
Mr Berkoff said his father had not wanted a second child and did not want him to be conceived.
He said the rejection still affects him and leads him to seek other people's approval. "If the guy is a decent director, I will do anything for them. I will get on my knees, I will clean the floor, I will do anything to show I am a loyal worker," he said.

Steven Berkoff on Gerard ButlerBerkoff says: "It was his first break - it was the first time he'd stepped on the stage. I had a casting woman and I was looking for actors for Coriolanus because I was replacing a few actors who couldn't do it.
"My casting woman Sue said, 'I've brought along this chap just to read'. When he read, he did it with such enthusiasm and earnestness that he was far better than the principal actors who we were auditioning and yet he wasn't even an actor then.
"He just had a desire for it and an intelligence, a quickness of wit and of course that wonderful Scottish brogue. He was so defined as a warrior for a Roman play.
"So then I said he could be in it. Sue said, 'Are you sure? He's never even done anything. He's just a beginner'.
"So I said, 'Yes, I'm quite sure'. Then he came in and that's how it all started. He took to it like a duck to water.
"He was still going through some torments when he was working with me, but I could see him improving."
Berkoff says he was "gobsmacked" by Gerard's success, but urged him to be more selective in the films he chooses. He says: "I usually work with actors who've got very strong focus and are courageous so a lot of them do really well. Gerry wouldn't be the first one. Even so, I'm gobsmacked by his success. I think he's progressed very well but he's got to be a bit more selective now.
"He's got to chose roles that have greater depth. I don't like him doing those romantic comedies.
"The only time I really saw him have tremendous charisma and depth was in 300. He came over absolutely phenomenally. It was an absolutely fantastic performance. That's what he should be doing - not these quick one-liners and cutesy roles.
"Sometimes though it's not what you choose but what you get offered. If he can choose, and he chooses the right films, I think he can go a long way.
"He is very, very self-disciplined and focused. He has a tremendous energy and a real power."
Berkoff adds: "I don't speak to him at all now because he's a Hollywood boy, isn't he? I last met him about three or four years ago.
"But he has expressed his gratitude to me and I'm thankful for that. He's a good working class Scottish lad and has an integrity about him."

It's nice to see some people in the business have faith in Gerry's acting ability. I also agree he needs the meaty roles to showcase his talent.

That was a good interview. He needs to be more selective on his roles. I've said this from the very smiley-dance008beginning.

a little part from the fueradeserie interview. (by Google translate)
Bachelor of gold has not yet been known steady partner, at age 45, but have awarded him a few that have been denied their girlfriends. A few that have come to be estimated at 300, perhaps because the figure was the title of one of his blockbuster films, in which he plays Leonidas, king of Sparta. Digit up or down, flirt fame nobody takes it to the Scottish. But, what about you? "I've had a couple of stable and long life in relationships, but I got the press did not realize, however, when they see me with a famous woman once awarded me as a girlfriend." Conclusion, Gerard Butler does not frequent personal with colleagues fame and activity prefers anonymous.
Peter Pan
If we review the latest list of winners in July will be associated with a television producer named Carmella Cassinelli California. They were hunted down lovingly at Disneyland. It was given this name after their last relationship with the supermodel Romanian Madalina Ghenea. It is said that she wanted to walk down the aisle and Butler showed himself reluctant to commit. "I keep seeing very young," he recently said, asked a thousand times when no longer pretend to be Peter Pan. Apparently, during the period of this relationship, let not visit another of their tops preferred, Alexia Rivavenkova, sources of American tabloids, also ascribes romances with Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Biel, Ashley Green, Rosario Dawson and Jennifer Aniston. Join or 300 to date, the fact is that if we simply July 2014 to August, paparazzi realized another hot romance with a blonde on the beaches of Malibu. Only it was not until October to hunt again, this time with a brunette, with paddle surfing (by the way), again in the waters of Malibu.

www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3019869/Gerard-Butler-reveals-surfing-stunt-nearly-ended-life-admits-likes-fun-risks-set.html?login#article-3019869'I got trapped and almost drowned': Gerard Butler reveals a surfing stunt nearly ended his life... but admits he still likes to take 'fun' risks on setBy Nola Ojomu for MailOnline 15:51 31 Mar 2015, updated 16:17 31 Mar 2015 He is one of the many stars who likes to get as involved as possible with their film stunts. But Gerard Butler has revealed that one close call during filming has made him step back and be a bit less eager when filming risky stunts. Speaking to Esquire Middle East, the 45-year-old explained: ‘On the surf movie, Chasing Mavericks, I had to surf one of the most dangerous waves in the world and I got trapped under it – I almost drowned as a result.’ He continued: ‘I remember thinking when I was underwater, “This is actually it, I’m done.” ‘I’ve got to learn to be a little less dedicated sometimes – a little less involved in the stunts, but it’s all part of the fun.’ The 2012 surfing film followed young Jay Moriarity when he discovers that the mythic Mavericks surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, exists just miles from his Santa Cruz home. He enlists the help of local legend Frosty Hesson (Butler) to train him to survive it. When asked what he thought the profession he might have taken in a world where acting did not exist, he replied: ‘I’d probably be at home going, “What am I doing with my life, I need to do something!” He added: ‘I’m surrounded by a lot of people when I’m working, and when I’m not acting I like to sometimes be away from everybody. ‘I live on a ranch in Malibu in the middle of nowhere and I love it. I’ve often thought if I wasn’t an actor I would like to be a forest commissioner.' The Olympus Has Fallen star mused: ‘Maybe it’s just a romantic notion but I do like the idea of being forced to interact, for that to be your home and for the cities to be your visits. I like the idea of that.’ Gerard is bad in the firing line for the follow up to his hit movie Olympus Has Fallen and he has been shooting scenes for London Has Fallen outside some of the capital's best known landmarks. The actor reprises his role as secret service agent Mike Banning for the film, and it looks like he's going into battle again after saving the president from North Korean terrorists in the first movie. You can read the full interview on the Esquire Middle East website.
