Butler did it!
MOVIE HUNK GERRY'S CASH MAKES PAL'S FILM A REALITY

By Brian Pendreigh, 09/05/2010

HOLLYWOOD star Gerard Butler saved a struggling pal's movie dream - by funding his film.


Actor and director Robert Cavanah feared his flick Pimp would NEVER get off the ground because of money problems.


But generous Gerry, 40, stumped up the vital cash - sparking interest from a string of other investors.


And with the funding in place, Robert was able to persuade famous friends including Billy Boyd and Martin Compston to take part too.


He revealed: "Gerry was my first financier. I've been a mate of his for years and he brought some finance to the table as a pal. He got us going.


"We should give him an executive producer credit for getting us started.


"But I don't think he really wants to be seen as the great benefactor."


Robert, who played Tommy Grant in EastEnders, appeared with the Paisley-born PS I Love You favourite (below) in 2003 movie Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.


The pair have been close for 12 years after meeting at a London party.


And 44-year-old Robert was quick to sign up more of his celebrity friends for the £500,000 project - including Lord Of The Rings star Billy, 41, and Martin, 26, who shot to fame in Sweet Sixteen.


He said: "Most of the people in this movie are people I know. I just went round my mates.


"I was in theatre with Billy a few years back and I met Martin in LA."


The movie - which also features Danny Dyer and ex-EastEnder Scarlett Johnson - is released on May 21.


Robert's already working on his next thriller, The Cellar. It will star Mad Men's Jared Harris and The Office's Lucy Davis.

"Pimp", huh?

thats nice from him...I used to watch Eastenders as I lived in Belfast loved it.

Interesting title. Wonder if it will be in 3D?

Where's the headline: Gerard Butler gives money to Pimp?

They are saying that this movie will be released May 21st of this year? I couldn't find it on google. Maybe they changed the name but I would think it would have come up. And Nay, what woman woes did he help with? I must have missed that. I'm not sure Gerry would be the one to seek advice from in that area.

Intriguing question.

I typed "porn 3d" into Yahoo search, and page after page of 3d porn movies and videos showed up.

The answer is Yes!


No, I did not view any of them.

I know - I was just making up a pap headline.....

It has a better ring to it than:
MOVIE HUNK GERRY'S CASH MAKES PAL'S FILM A REALITY

Don't ya think? (especially after his Serbian activities?)

There actually was a headline that said "Gerard Butler gives money to Pimp". It showed up after I posted this thread.

Julie--Love that you looked up 3D porn! I just read that Playboy is going to have a 3D centerfold.

Playboy is giving away blow up dolls???

Thanks. I'm not surprised their circulation is dwindling, with all the free porn available online.
