Gerard Butler James was born as the youngest of three children to Scottish parents. He was a very bright student in school, which is why he landed in University of Glasgow to study Law. After becoming a law school graduate, in early twenties he went on to work in an Edinburgh law firm, but he didn’t do well in the firm due to his erratic and party-hard nature. It was then that Gerard dreamed of being a famous actor, and went to live in London and then in the USA. It took some time for Gerard to get roles in television and movies, but his luck changed when he was cast in the movie ‘Dracula 2000’, and then other movies like ‘Reign of Fire’, ‘Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life’ among many more. It was after these movies that Gerard’s net worth started to sky-rocket.
Gerard’s career breakthrough is noted to be the lead role in the movie ‘300’ where he portrayed the brave king of Sparta, Leonidas. He then appeared in other high grossing movies like ‘P.S. I Love you’, ‘Dear Frankie’, ‘The Bounty Hunter’ and ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ among others. All these projects did wonders for Gerard’s acting career and helped him extensively to accumulate his net worth. Given his work choices, Gerard has been in different mishaps in the process of filming many of his movies that have resulted in injury. He has also been medicated time after time for his substance abuse, partly due to these injuries. On a different note, Gerard is also a good singer and a songwriter as reportedly; he is in the middle of recording an album.
Talking about his personal life, Gerard is a lucky person who splits homes in Scotland and the USA. Gerard likes to keep a very low profile when it comes to his romantic affairs, but recently it has been reported that he is dating Morgan Brown. Nevertheless, Gerard is still enjoying the best of his life with a successful career that shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.
