Gerard Butler Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ

[@xengthao6823]

I'm glad he went with his guts, "THIS IS SPARTA!" is an iconic line for sure.

[@varianbond]

An anime I watched made a reference to it once... that’s when you know “iconic” is an understatement 😂

@@joshuamacas3275 I disagree, the phantom is supposed to have an angelic voice but also a booming tenor.

[@luckyDancer100]

I always really adored Gerard’s voice in Phantom. It’s the version I probably listen to the most because he has a nice, haunting/gravelly tone to his voice which works to give the character an edge. It maybe isn’t Broadway-style, but it adds something to the film’s performance.

[@avasdollhouse3088]

I agree with you since phantom isn't supposed to be trained like others were of his time plus it says in the novel he is more advanced then the other singers of his time, his voice is beautiful

[@SometimesAbel]

My friend and I used to argue about "Phantom" cause I loved Gerard's voice and she found it "wrong." He's not a trained operatic singer but his voice/style suits the role so well!

[@tallyp.7643]

I feel ya. I actually prefer actors who will sing over singers who have to act in a film. Especially a film like this. They made the Phantom a self-taught genius, so he didn't have outside direction in is learning to sing (as a character). When you pick it up on your own, you'll have your own peculiarities. So it made sense to me, character wise that he wouldn't have that "perfect" operatic voice. He made up for it with his heightened emotions to stretch his ability. You can FEEL him. I like what he did, and considering how he acted, it makes sense. I thought he did great

Patrick Wilson and Gerard Butler were great in their roles in Phantom of The Opera. Two out of three ain't bad.

I remember seeing Gerry for the first time in Dracula 2000. Not much of a movie, but his great looks hooked me. Never saw much of him after that and then one day I saw him in something else. Can’t remember what it was and sad to say that I hadn’t bothered to find out his name in Dracula 2000. So, I’m watching this guy in Phantom…striking in appearance and who had this peculiar smile that kept haunting me. Who was this guy? I knew I had seen him before, but for the life of me, I couldn’t remember where. For days, I kept running through my mind trying to place this guy. Even after learning his name, it still didn’t register with me, but even with his 1/2 of his face hidden behind a mask, there was that smile. Finally, it hit me. The Phantom guy is the Dracula guy. The way Gerry’s eye teeth sit behind his upper lip are very distinct. To a dentist, they would be considered misaligned, but to me, they give him a uniqueness. Sorta like the gap in Elijah Wood’s teeth. I heard people say some really ugly things about Elijah’s and Gerry’s teeth, but guess what? It was men doing the complaining! Having a perfect face isn’t necessarily what all find as beautiful. I happen to like that little quirky or non-standard look. Elijah Wood has the most gorgeous eyes. I loved him since I first saw him. It also doesn’t hurt that he and my son look so much alike, facially. Smiles such as Elijah and Gerry have are so endearing and both seem like very nice men, although I have heard that Gerry’s a womanizer. Thank goodness for low budget films. So many great actors and actresses have been born there.

[@Khornedevotee]

@shane Nicholas Some actors are better than others and some actors are a poor choice for a certain type of character they're meant to play. Some actors are just bad. Being an actor doesn't mean that one is particularly good at acting although you're more likely to be good at it.

[@ingridmay66]

Yeah, he is awesome as the phantom. No one can play phantom the way he can.

[@firefightszz]

The amount of times I’ve watched how to train your dragon is almost a bad thing. When I clicked on this video and heard his voice my eyes lit up like “that’s the guy” Gerard is one of my favorite actors and I love all of the moves he is in. His performance as Leonidas perfectly encapsulates a Spartans mentality towards war. I just love it.

I loved his voice in Phantom of the Opera. I think a lot of people objected because they were so use to Michael Crawford's rendition, but I'd never seen the performance before the film, so I feel like I was coming in with unbiased eyes. He brought a very masculine feel to it. Can't really get on board with those who complain it doesn't fit with the novel because the musical doesn't fit with it at all either. It's ALW's vision, and he stated in an interview that he had always envisioned a more rock and roll sort of gruff vocal for that part.

[@utterlynice1]

I loved him as the Phantom! He made me love him and i felt so bad for him! My two sons watched this movie about 100 times and i have to say, i wished they would watch something else after that many times but there cannot be another Phantom than Gérard Butler!!

[@mcchristenson]

I'm on a binge watching every one of his movies. This is great in the middle of it. One of the best actors.

I've honestly become such a huge Gerry fan. He's so versatile and he adapts to each role so well. Its a true joy to watch him. And then he's such a likeable and good guy!
