Gerard Butler talks about his many nude scenes

Every gay blogger in town and out of town seems to have picked up on this Gerard Butler item and I can see why!

In a new interview with Associated Press, the hunky star of 300, RocknRolla and The Ugly Truth talked about appearing nude in so many of his movies including his latest Law Abiding Citizen which is out Friday

“I love to show my rear end in roles. I fear it’s becoming a bit of a habit, a tradition that I have to show my ass in every movie that I can,” said the actor.  “This was always a great scene in the movie and actually speaks volumes about this character and part of the wackiness and unexpectedness that happens… He’s completely unpredictable and so when he strips off it makes sense.”

“I mean there’s a genius behind that and if it means I have to bare my ass again than so be it. I’ve always had a skinny, tight ass but I had to bulk up for this film; I was inspired by watching (Robert) DeNiro in Taxi Driver during the scene where he’s doing the push-ups and he’s so cut. A lot more is said in that than somebody just being big and kind of a meathead…Whenever I make those decisions to be naked, I go, ‘Oh shit here’s another three months of being on a diet and getting that body back!'”

Okay, I’m still trying to process the “skinny, tight ass” remark. I think we’re all rather intrigued!
