He put in the work, and the results showed. I’ll always think of him in this role.

[@Zedsuss]

"I would feel him coming into me" Lucky bastard

[@Sheisinvisible]

Yup

[@Sarando1]

It worked. Everything he did for this role was awesome.

[@NotASnowflake]

Gerard Butler is so versatile!! He's done everything from comedy, action, drama, thrillers, documentary scenarios, romantic and rom-coms and so forth. Absolute film genius to me.

[@drekon6939]

I remember in an offhand comment I made to someone they got pissy and said "He's just a rage-filled meathead." Pissed me off so bad. I loved Gladiator, may not have been historically or critically accurate but it was damn good. Law Abiding Citizen was fantastic. I liked Olympus Has Fallen. The Quick and The Dead was excellent. It just irks me when people are dismissive because of a few bad choices.

[@NotASnowflake]

[@drekon6939]

@@thedudeman2005 yeah I may have mixed Russell Crowe and Gerard Butler up on that one. I confuse the two sometimes. The best way to remember is Gerard Butler looks fit and Russell Crowe looks like he ate three of himself.

Leonidas was 65 when this actual battle took place. Dude was a beast.

[@maleficent2993]

THAT makes me love this story even more. I had no idea

[@chilling_at_pontiff]

Most people try and disprove that by saying Spartans retire at 60 ,but it's written that he was indeed 65. Showing he served passed his required time ,and died a glorious death. So glorious people still fantasize about it to this day

Dude was not the boogeyman. He was the man you sent to kill the boogeyman.

[@maleficent2993]

300... Top ten best movies of all time. I felt transcended in time- back to those brutal days when the men were men. It makes me think of any soldier no matter the branch, who goes into battle for our country without question or doubt. Words like honor and discipline come to mind. It was this role that caused my undying admiration for Gerard Butler.... Brilliant work

There are times when a caracter looks like is made for an actor and in reality the actor makes such a good work that it is impossible to think in any other person be that caracter.

I swear, Leonidas is almost a different person when he has his helmet on, when he had his helmet oof, he even attempted to reach out to captain Artemis because he cared, and on the first day of the battle when he had his helmet on, he went full rampage mode and killed at least 25 Spartans by himself

[@cameronneal932]

Literally just clicked play for 300😂😂😂

[@Miawmiaw2021]

Give them nothing!!! 😤 But take from them... Everything!!!!!🔥🤬

[@Taeflack]

Remind me of heath ledger's joker , one of my fav movies and actors of all time , 300 truly is an motivational and good movie for history

[@jordanterry6248]

Considering the things Spartans didn’t to prepare for battle, Gerard Butler was probably only one of many men who felt Leonidas come into him.

[@Yung_Lowdown59]

What I'd give to meet Leonidas someday and actually hear real old Greek stories especially what the battle of 300 was really like from the man himself
