Gerard Butler law school University of Glasgow

Gerard Butler law school University of Glasgow,  Born in Paisley, Scotland, to Margaret and Edward Butler, Gerard Butler was raised along, with his older brother and sister, in his hometown of Paisley, Scotland. He also spent some of his youth in Canada.

His parents divorced when he was a child, and he and his siblings were raised primarily by their mother, who later remarried. He had no contact with his father between the ages of two and 16 years old, after which time they became close. His father passed away when Gerard was in his early 20s. Butler went on to attend Glasgow University, where he studied to be a lawyer/solicitor. He was president of the school’s law society, thanks to his outgoing personality and great social skills.

His acting career began when he was approached in a London coffee shop by actor Steven Berkoff, who later appeared alongside Butler in Attila, le Hun (2001/I) (TV), who gave him a role in a stage production of “Coriolanus”. After that, Butler decided to give up law for acting. He was cast as Ewan McGregor’s character “Renton” in the stage adaptation of [i]Trainspotting[/i]. His film debut was as Billy Connolly’s younger brother in La dame de Windsor (1997). While filming the movie in Scotland, he was enjoying a picnic with his mother, near the River Tay, when they heard the shouts of a young boy, who had been swimming with a friend, who was in some trouble. Butler jumped in and saved the young boy from drowning. He received a Certificate of Bravery from the Royal Humane Society. He felt he only did what anyone in the situation would have done.

He is Scottish, but is of partial Irish ancestry. He has also mentioned that, because of this, his family does not have a tartan.

First stage role was in Coriolanus. Poked in the eye with a wooden stake during rehearsals for the play.

On the first day of shooting his film debut in La dame de Windsor (1997), he had to run naked into a freezing sea and, as a result, developed hypothermia. Later during the filming, he saved a young boy from drowning in the river Tay and received a Certificate Of Bravery from The Royal Humane Society.

Graduated from Glasgow University with a law degree

Did not see his father from the age of 2 until he turned 16.

Was once rumored to be the next James Bond (after Pierce Brosnan). [April 2001]

Was confirmed for a role in Profession profiler (2004), but chose to drop out of it because of his prior commitment to Prisonniers du temps (2003). The filming schedules of the two films overlapped. Jonny Lee Miller with whom Butler co-starred in Dracula 2001 (2000) stepped in to take his Mindhunter role.
