Gerard Butler opens up about new romance (SF GATE)

Scottish movie star Gerard Butler has opened up about his relationship with Romanian model/actress Madalina Ghenea, insisting he is “happier and calmer” since they started dating.

The “300″ hunk fell for the European beauty when she was hired to help him promote a new razor for the Dubai-based Super Max brand last year, and the couple was first rumoured to be romantically involved in May.

Ghenea played down the claims at the time, stating, “Gerard is a friend of mine. We are friends and nothing more” – but Butler has now openly gushed about the beauty.

Pierce Brosnan kicked Gerard Butler’s ass while filming “Shuttered” Follow us: @IrishCentral on Twitter | IrishCentral on Facebook (IRISH CENTRAL)

Scottish actor Gerard Butler recalls getting all banged up by his Irish counterpart Pierce Brosnan a few years back when they were filming Butterfly on a Wheel, which was renamed Shuttered for its 2007 U.S. release.

Though the film didn’t make much of an impression, Butler was left with a painful remembrance long after production shut down – a busted neck and some broken ribs.

Brosnan and Butler were shooting a chase scene in Vancouver, with Pierce behind the wheel of a Range Rover.  Pierce wound up losing control of the fancy car and crashing right into a wall, and Butler still vividly recalls the pain.

"Pierce ended up driving straight towards a wall and didn't apply the brakes in time and smashed right into it," Butler explains. "Initially we were fine, but I quickly realized my neck was out, my ribs came out, pretty painful stuff.”

Why Movie Cads (Lookin' at You, Gerard Butler) Are Actually Good For Us (GLAMOUR)

by Megan Angelo

This is a photo of Gerard Butler in Playing for Keeps

It would also make a perfect image for a textbook on cads, if such textbooks existed. Let me break this down for you, Girl Scout style, because you can avoid cads the same way you do poisonous plants—by knowing their markings.

You’ll notice several things. There’s the winning smile emerging from a background of don’t-give-a-#@$! stubble. A real giveaway here: the profusion of leather bracelets. Finally, there’s the longish, greasy hair. Though it would simply look dirty on, say, a well-adjusted accountant, it is curiously appealing on the cad.

Dangerous stuff.
