Meanwhile, Gerard made headlines for the last time after revealing that co-star Hilary Swank was actually seriously injured during the filming of the 2007 romantic drama PS I Love You.
The 300 actor appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show earlier this year, telling the story of the on-set accident that sent Swank to the hospital and left him standing alone in boxers.
“She’s so cool and so great to work with that I almost killed her,” he explained to Barrymore.
The actor explained that his character, Gerry Kennedy, was going to be hit in the face with a crocodile suspender clip while undressing, but the metal clasp ricocheted in the opposite direction and “cut” Swank in the head.
“The cameramen had plastic faceplates to protect themselves from this alligator clip, it was so dangerous, I had to ping it and it went past my face.
“This time I crawl to the bed, it gets stuck, it lets go, flies over my head, hits her on the head, cuts her head. I cut her open, you could even see the teeth (of the clip).
“She needs to be taken to the hospital. Literally imagine this studio and in three seconds everyone is gone and I’m just sitting there in my boxers and my boots and a pair of socks and I just started crying.”
He says he “almost took her out of sight” and “made a fool of myself” while they were filming the scene.

Years later, the heartthrob laughed at the incident as he retold the story, but said the experience gave him impostor syndrome at the time because he was so nervous about working with Swank.
As for Butler’s last, he played a CIA agent trying to escape Afghanistan in one piece in Kandahar.
The film was written by former military intelligence officer Mitchell LaFortune, who based the story on his experiences working for the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2013 while on deployment in Afghanistan during the Snowden leaks.
Butler – who recently starred in the action thriller Plane – plays Tom Harris, an undercover CIA operative trapped deep undercover in Afghanistan when he learns his mission has been compromised.
