Why Gerard Butler Doesn't Get Many Movie Offers Anymore

[@Looper]

What Gerard Butler role was your favorite? The Phantom? Sam Childers? King Leonidas? Mike Banning? Stoick the Vast? Let us know in the comments below!

[@CopperLeagueGaming]

Tullus Aufidius

[@ThomasK96]

Looper the phantom of the opera. ...that what i thank wen i when I hear his name

[@thebarnacle1000]

Law Abiding Citizen! it's Fucking Awesome! why don't you mention it as a positive thing here?

[@miketestani801]

Looper 300

[@deathgrinderb3284]

law abiding citizen was a great movie. one of those movies were you want the bad guy to win in the end or at least not lose.

[@EinlanzerHyuga]

Who else liked Law Abiding Citizen? Next to 300 (in live action roles), that movie is still best I have seen this actor in.

[@TheGalacticGrizzly]

I thought it was great! And I also really enjoyed Gamer. I think Butler is at his best in (historic) action movies.

[@jgreg3596]

Sebastián de Jesús Muñoz Santana I liked him in how to train your dragon better

[@jaymcd8577]

Citizen was awesome, I loved this guy after that 2 solid flicks back to back.. he was on a role. I thought he was the next Mel Gibson then he start doing wussy shitty rom coms, all went down hill from there.

[@phillyblunt1763]

Gamer was my favorite

[@MrKinezos01]

the only film i wished the bad guy won.... his passion for revenge was giving the chills....

[@Box0rz]

Lack of range? Wtf Looper? The man has been in heart-wrenching dramas like Machine Gun Preacher and Dear Frankie, in tear-inducing romantic comedies like P.S. I love you. He has been a convincing action star (300, Olympus Has Fallen, Coriolanus), a great voice actor in How To Train Your Dragon, and on top of all that, he has sung some pretty hard songs in Phantom of the Opera. Not to mention all the other great roles in movies like Law Abiding Citizen and RockNRolla. So yeah, I don't know how much these guys spent doing this video, but their point of view was very biased.

[@maryainsworth5022]

Have loved him and his acting since seeing him in "P.S I love you" Please keep your accent!

[@keiellaart3272]

Good point. And, in my opinion, he MADE Phantom of the Opera so enjoyable. It's not like it's the most amazing movie, but I keep watching it because his performance was so charismatic and his singing so beautiful and gut-wrenching. It takes a good actor, not just a pair of abs, to pull off that performance, especially in a mask. Funny how that completely ignore his Phantom in this video.

[@airtexaco]

Mary Ainsworth I like your name 😊

[@denisemanning4673]

He hasent

[@denisemanning4673]

He has not sold his soul maybe...

[@robynsnest22]

I think Looper is being far too harsh on Gerard Butler. He has much more depth than this guy gives him credit for. I happen to really like his movies. And really that is all that matters to me.

[@elizabethf1591]

robynsnest22 Can't you guess .? Englishman speaking about a Scotsman .

[@jannetcortuna5334]

Just for the sake of views, looper creates allegation and judgement

[@LegandsandLabyrinths]

2016: Gods of Egypt 2016: London Has Fallen 2014: How to Train Your Dragon 2 2013: Olympus Has Fallen 2010: How to Train Your Dragon 2010: Bounty Hunter 2009: Law Abiding Citizen 2009: The Ugly Truth 2008: Nim's Island 2007: P.S. I Love You 2007: 300 2004: Phantom of the Opera 2003: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life These are just movies with $100 million+ in global box office. And he's lined up for another six films between now and 2019. The premise of the video is garbage.

[@medachraf1096]

forgot GAMER i loved that movie

[@doloresnicdao7814]

I will watch any and all movies unless I am 6ft under. Not just movies. Any entertainment medium, he will be great. People will continue to follow his career. Hopefully he will be cast with roles that are appropriate as he ages. I will forever be disappointed he was not the one to be with with the leading lady in/ Phantom.

[@peepeetrain8755]

He's a great actor, Law abiding citizen is proof of that, not sure why it was hardly mentioned in this video.

[@minimac721]

fs87 completely forgot about that role. He was perfect. Sad that he died I wish he won that movie

[@Ram-xw4kj]

fs87 It wasnt mentioned because it is a great movie. They cant bash him if they show good quality work of his ;)

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

cause looper sucks.......

[@davidg4612]

If you do not mention something good it is easier to paint an all in all negative picture. That is why.

Oh i defo agree there, that would be awesome to see him play that character.

[@123martinap]

Yes he definitely was .

[@IVUSER]

Are you kidding me ?! Gods Of Egypt was fucking awful !

[@QuiteTheBadWulf]

I fail to see why a scottish accent should be any less believable than an american accent whent it comes to gods of egypt.

[@jenabernardo7738]

QuiteTheBadWolf Ha ha You said exactly what I was thinking ..... I didn't hear any Egyptian accents coming from any other actor either.... Lol

[@charliepoppyful]

I actually thought he was American after seeing the Ugly Truth till I looked him up

[@kylemiller2414]

True ... I guess it just made the whitewashing seem that more apparent at the time. Which it was obvious they simply wanted a white cast. Why? Idk. But it was obvious.

[@petetong9725]

Should be an Arabic sounding accent with lots of phlegm like middle eastern

[@michaelyearwood6422]

Lol not Arabic since the Arabs didn't leave the peninsula until the ADs

[@deannpembrook1448]

I don't know where you're coming from w/ this biased review of Butlers talents? I loved him way back in Attila, Beowolf & Dracula 2000, Phantom of the Opera, Law Abiding Citizen, Dear Frankie, Timeline, Harrison's Flowers, Rock n Rolla..... etc... etc.... his accent is distinctive, I don't think he should change it , Sean Connery didn't have to. I find it odd that the only thing you critics consider as talent is the box office draw. Thanks but I will think for myself & I think Butler is just fine.

[@jamiemcvay4053]

De'ann Pembrook Hollywood has no good actors....... I PRAY THEY ALL GET KILLED TODAY & I PROMISE YOU NOBODY WOULD MISS THEM

[@Scorch428]

Box Office Draw isnt necessarily an indicator of talent, but it IS the only thing that matters to the people fronting the money for his next film, unfortunately.

[@missy1607]

[@nintendoplayer5175]

my favorite movie with him in was gamer.

[@annhumphrey5232]

[@michelleg7360]

He popped onto the screen in Tomb Raider and Phantom of the Opera, way before 300.

[@Jared_Wignall]

Michelle Grenier yes, but 300 made him the star he is today.

[@michelleg7360]

300 might have catapulted him into the action star he is today. There was also Law Abiding Citizen and The Ugly Truth.

[@Jared_Wignall]

Michelle Grenier yeah, but 300 was a huge film that garnered him acclaimed that he didn't have before. The other films you've listed were either mixed to negative reviewed.

[@animanga9597]

jared I always saw him as the phantom more than Leonidas.

[@Jared_Wignall]

I think the thing with 300 is it not only was a good and fun action film, but it had some memorable lines that he said. People don't really quote any other films he's been in, but "This is Sparta!" is something everyone's heard of and knows it's from 300, regardless if they've seen the movie or not.

[@cupofcozy708]

I really enjoy him as an actor, and really enjoy the movies he's in

[@reddchan]

The hate is strong with this one.

[@justinw1765]

There's still a certain amount of English prejudice against the Scottish to be found. It's been a long habit that is hard to kick. The English long have thought the Scots were barbaric, primitive, uncivilized, uncouth, and the like. At some points in history, they viewed and treated them almost as badly as the white America did to black people. Granted, many English have grown up since then and don't hold onto any of this, but just like racism in America, especially in the south, there are still undercurrents in the Isles--especially since there is often a fair amount of people in Scotland that want to break away from English control. With all that said, I don't think Butler is a "great" actor by any means, and I do somewhat agree that there is a limit of range compared to some of the more practiced and/or talented, but I would say he is at least a decent actor most of the time, and sometimes good.

[@danarahman6281]

Robert Channels facts my friend !!! Don’t hate appreciate rite?

[@sandwichninja]

Justin W "There's still a certain amount of English prejudice against the Scottish to be found." Let me bring this sentence into reality... "There's still a certain amount of Jewish prejudice against whites to be found." All done!

[@kylemiller2414]

The video was fairly fair I thought. Gerard is awesome and really hot but he’s been on the backburner for a while now and almost seems like TV movie actor at this point. Or maybe I’m just a hater.

[@mikakoivunen3456]

[@EF-zy3nr]

As an American, I'm not sure why foreign actors have to do general American accents, nobody fucking talks like that outside of tv. Sometimes it is pointless to have this or that accent when it doesn't affect the story. As long as the audience can understand them is whats important, walk around any major city street and you will find Americans with a dozen different accents. Also, whenever Hollywood does a fantasy movie or a movie set in historical ancient times, why the fuck does everyone have to sound English? Romans, Hebrews, Vikings, ancient Greeks,& Egyptians.... didnt speak english and since no one was alive to hear how they pronounced words, it shouldn't matter how they fucking sound. They definitely did not speak with a English accent that no one in England has either. English accent doesnt = ancient.

This review and the critics have no effect on people's personal preferences.. I think he is a very good actor and critics have never dictate me which actor should I like. Law Abiding Citizen is one of his best... Looper I think you dropped the ball on this one.. I don't care about the accent.... Who the heck are these so called critics.. Are they actors? can they act at all? can they direct a film? can they do anything other than sit their fat ass around and judge other people's work??????

[@pathtopublishing4121]

Law Abiding Citizen is my absolute favorite. But I watch all of his movies. He is my #1 favorite actor. I love his accent, his accent, and of course, his six-pack. I own every movie he has created. I really think this narrator dropped the ball and has no freaking clue. I am so excited for his Angel Has Fallen movie in 2019!!!!

I enjoy watching any movies with Gerald Bulter, his accent grabs a person's attention, why does he have to have an American accent? Olympus has fallen was a great movie, I would like to see him in more movies. When he acts he draws the audience into his character. I loved his romance comedies, he is very masculine which you don't see very often/ His accent reminds me of another Scottish man that was in movies for years, I give you a hint, 007? Bond, James Bond?

[@madmatmp]

This is such a BS video. He is a good actor and that's fact. The Rock is a bad actor, fact. Now as far as accent is concerned, it is a Hollywood producers whim, that they want uk actors to portray a us accent. This is ludicrous and is completely out of touch with modern film goers. It has no bearing on the Film whatsoever. In fact, of late, this is now changing. Is it so hard to believe that Americans can appreciate someone from the UK living in the US, like it wouldn't make sense. This dumbing down for American audiences has long been the established belief that Americans need to be dumbed down to. I don't remember Sean Connery ever succumbing to this BS. Finally remember Robin Hood with Kevin Costner, the biggest box office hit of all the many versions made. It was brilliant with Kevin's Midwest tone and audiences didn't care, and rightly so. Conversely, Russel Crows stupid attempt at a Yorkshire accent, destroyed the whole integrity of the film and the success as well. So there you go, as an actor it's not important to use an accent, Stanislavski, the creator of The Method Actor said, always keep part of who you are in the role you play, even keeping the way you speak. He said we are not mimickers, we are Actors, and this is a completely different thing altogether. Leave mimicking to fools and playboys. 🌞

No mention of " Coriolanus " and "Mrs Brown". Relatively small parts especially in Mrs Brown, but he was excellent in both of them which goes to show you, the way Hollwood is marketing him and consequently his choice of roles have a lot to do with the negative reviews. One more thing ; since when does a thick Scottish accent have anything to do with it ? Sean Conery has never had to imitate any accent and he is revered and still a box office draw. Not trying to compare the 2 but the Scottish accent isn't really an issue.

What bollocks, he's inbetween films. see IMDB for upcoming films in 2017,18 and 19. and at $25,000,000 he doesnt need many. Just the one will do

[@susandudak59]

Another series Gerard did in England when he was younger was "The Jury". It was a series on BBC. I have the tapes - takes 6 hours to watch. He was younger and fantastic. Showed his huge range of talent - no one can cry like Gerard. I would recommend seeing it if you can find it.

[@StephanieJohnson-qf4zv]

I don't care what anyone says, Gerry is an amazing actor. My favorite movie of his is Phantom Of The Opera. Just watched it the other day. Give us more movies Gerry

Bullshit. Phantom of the Opera was 3 years before 300. Watch him portray a tortured social outcast with a BEAUTIFUL singing voice and then say he has no talent. Also, a movie's success or failure can't be solely attributed to the lead actor's performance.

[@Billygoatsgrruff]

agreed. He was amazing as the phantom

[@lisaridgway3315]

I love his movies - even with his shirt on -

None of these factors seem to have held Sean Connery back.

[@scubarick1]

he should be the next Bond IMO

[@foxxxyyyh7013]

They probably didn’t mention anything about him in the phantom of the opera because he freaking nailed that movie so hard so there weren’t anything to criticize about!

Hi, thanks for supporting geraldbutler, you are a good fan of me, I would like to know you more

I love Butler. I think he's a great actor and I love his Scottish accent. Fuck all that bullshit criticism...

[@gavingwinn773]

Gerard Butler is my favorite actor. I hope he plays as Kraven the Hunter in a Spiderman sequel.

[@Nickalzz]

There are plenty of leading actors who can't act.

[@DingKong]

Tom Cruise.

[@clorox1676]

Arnold, Cruise, Butler, Milla Jovovich, Angelina Jolie...they may no be great actors but they are good entertainers.

[@jrnbautista82]

Splendido Splendente Jolie won an oscar. Seriously.

[@halifaxx55]

Jennifer Lawrence is bearable and decent but that's about it.

[@MegaMesozoic]

And Charlton Heston won oscars - seriously!

[@wednesdayattoms529]

About four or five years ago, in an interview I watched, he was asked what kind of movie he’d like to do next. He’s response was he’d like to not act so much, anymore, as he gets older. He’d like to chill a bit. He has a production company with his manager, so he can play puppet master, while hiring others to perform, if he chooses not to act anymore.

[@59Alaskan]

What?? I haven't seen a film that I didn't like!!! Love him! Now I am going to watch more!

[@kenhill4565]

According to the headline, it makes it seem like Gerard's just sitting on his but not getting any work at all! He's just simply not working right now as in, he doesn't have a film out. From the looks of things, he's actually working his tail off. Unless you're Samuel L. Jackson, you can't be working and have a film out at the same time! That's why Sam will never die, he'll be too busy working!

[@SeventhMarch]

He is good. i like his movies. apart from the awesome direction of London Has Fallen, i liked his individual personality. thank you Looper for the video :)

[@Looper]

And thank you for watching!

Fun Fact: Gerard Butler made a short appearance in the 007 movie 'Tomorrow Never Dies' as the leading seaman aboard HMS Devonshire.

jamie dornan would be perfect as james bond he can spank and whip the bad guys

[@edillynorquiza5807]

I really never seen all the movies of Mr. Gerard Butler but what I've seen in his other movies tells all. His passionate on his work and he is flexible. His not just into action but an artist, a singer, a comedienne and a dramatic actor. As if his doing a movie like it was his last so he gave it all not just his best but with a heart and a soul in it. Love his scottish accent. God blessed you Mr. Gerard Butler sir!

[@habebe54]

Love Gerard Butler in all of his movies. First one I saw was Phantom of the Opera. He was awesome! Love him, he’s the bomb! Best looking actor, too, as far as I’m concerned!! Hubba hubba!! ❤️👍🏽

[@anydae]

😍😍😍😍 Gerald Butler.... no matter what!!!

[@gerardbutler7786]

I appreciate this a lot. Thanks 😊

[@s0uldr4ke]

I think it isn't fair to reduce Butler only to his role in 300! Especially in Law Abiding Citizen he proofed that he is able to mix great action with emotion in a role and these are the roles he should keep playing! Moreover you can view the movies who failed terribly on two ways one is and there is definetly some truth in it that Butler wasn't able to play the soft hearted guy very good but all the scripts lacked a good storytelling as well in my perspective! It is like getting leonardo di caprio as the protagonist in after earth he could have done his best but the movie would still be a load of crap. I think Gerard Butler was just unlucky with his decisions like many other actors in Hollywood as well

[@Wheelz2012]

Casual racism?.

[@DeeboX-vv8ji]

Law abiding citizen was awesome, he made me root for him and he was the bad guy. Sean Connery had problems with his accent as well. I loved The Ugly Truth also. Olympus and London has Fallen are very good movies.

[@captainjakemerica4579]

One of his movie get's torn apart for no reason that being The Phantom of The Opera

[@DDDhorus]

i love gerard butlers movies, hes so awesome, one of the best actors ever

[@eneurianerwin2287]

since this was published on mar 20 2017. of what lack of offers is looper speaking? Gerard just wrapped den of thieves 3 days ago, keepers begins principal in about a week, there are headhunter, hunter killer, and geostorm in the can awaitng release, angel has fallen, snow ponies, dragon 3, and at least 4 more in various stages of production. 12-14 movies in 2-3 years is working your bleeding arse off. does looper know anything about this industry? or is it just some dork sitting in his mom's basement ordering netflix

[@MaricaAmbrosius]

Viggo Mortensen started when he was twenty-four.

[@АндреяТеодосиева-ш2н]

Bruh the Ugly truth is one of the best and most perfect rom-coms ever, dunno what critics bashed it, its amazing

[@alty5214]

Check him out in Dear Frankie. This man can act. He can pull at your heartstrings quite well. He did very well in Phantom too. Wish people would give the singing and accent issues a break. His physique and looks notwithstanding, he's a gem!

[@Arun-nv8zi]

Butler would make a great 007.

[@Arun-nv8zi]

C'mon, Connery reborn?!

[@rcstg]

Hey Looper, can you find a narrator that can actually speak and be understood?

[@teresavanloggerenberg3615]

All of Gerrys movie s are my favorite s

[@o0Avalon0o]

Dang, this video seems to gloss over his successful career and insane work ethic. Just glancing at the number of films he's worked on is spectacular.

[@aidenlopez530]

Gerard Butler as The Phantom, was a big deal and role. He was outstanding and even gived the audience the expirience of how it felt to be in The Phantom's shoes. He actual felt The Phantom's pain, and made that view vivid enough for us (the audience) to see that.

This talented and charismatic actor has proved himself adaptable to approach his diverse roles with great clarity and passion. He is a down to earth Scottish man with a great sense of humour who seems to stay grounded and humble. He is far from a Hollywood diva .Judging by the comments below he is respected and well loved . Your negative comments are uncalled for.
