You're not 20 anymore, Gerry. I can't party like it's 1999 anymore without feeling like I'm 99 years old - and neither can you.

There are a lot of times I'd love to go out and party and stay out all night but I know I have to get up and work. Them's the breaks. There are such things as health problems, yes, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if you overtax your body, it will respond with warning signs. 500 calorie per day diets don't help, either.

If a person is going to abuse their body with lack of food, rest, vitamins, etc...I don't see that as being any different than abusing it with alcohol or drugs. A person might not drink or smoke, but that doesn't mean they're taking care of themselves.

Just my two cents.

well,your just right there he isnt twenty anymore and I stopped goin out like that since ages....if I go out really long and drink some alcohol I have to be off the next day. But hardly go out these days because with my three jobs ..I just dont have the time , I just rather go out for a nice cup off coffee and have a nice chat.....well well I think G.B is overduing it a little bit, when you see his filmin latley he has done a lot hasnt he ? And buildin up his muscles and goin thin again is not good for his body either, his body will strike one day !

Too much coffee and red bull doesn't help the blood pressure either.

wow...

GERARD BUTLER TAKEN TO A BELGRADE CLINIC DUE TO EXCESSIVE ENJOYMENT IN SERBIAN FOOD AND BRANDY

Now this is what happens to celebrities who do not read HOLLYWOOD SPY. How many times have I told you people, that when you come to Serbia you can't drink slivovitz (lethal Serbian plum brandy) like you'd drink whiskey, vodka or any other poisonous liquid.
According to Serbian press, Gerard Butler, who is currently filming "Coriolanus" in Belgrade, has been taken to a private clinic yesterday by producers and his security. After blood testing, doctors have diagnosed a high blood pressure, and Gerard was given an IV. According to doctors, the high blood pressure was the result of Gerard's excessive enjoyment in Serbian delicacies and domestic brandy which led to mild food and alcohol poisoning. We don't have to mention that beside too much food and drink, Gerard has also exhausted his organism with too much work and too much partying, since Serbians have been seeing him in Belgrade clubs almost each night this week.
But at least the stories about Gerard being a great lad, have been proved again, since the clinic staff was more than impressed by his friendly attitude and positive character.

Gerard Butler poisoned with food in Serbia

Actor Gerard Butler on Monday afternoon suddenly fell ill due to consumption of heavy foods and large amounts of alcohol and was ended in a private clinic Ristic in Belgrade. Press reports that about 18.00 Butler was driven to the clinic by security and producer of “Coriolanus,” film, which is currently filming in Belgrade. Following the review, which found that Butler has extremely high blood pressure and blood tests, the actor was given infusion. When his condition improved, he was moved into his apartment. Already the next morning he continued with the filming.

Doctors have found that Butler, unaccustomed to Serbian cuisine and heavy foods, have symptoms of mild poisoning. In addition to food and alcohol, for the poor health of famous Hollywood actor was guilty his fatigue. In fact, despite the grueling all day-long filming, Gerard Butler did not resist the charm of Belgrade nightlife and it is seen in all-night parties at clubs and bars.

ohhhh my goood well, when your not used to heavy food from serbia...thats why they drink they brandy or schnaps afterwards like we do...it helps the digestion...hicks...

OK, I will admit that I read these articles, so I shouldn't complain, but someone in the Serbian press seems to be on Gerry like a bee to honey. They seem to know his every move. But what is being translated out there is very confusing. And that could be further damaging to Gerry, besides what Gerry has already done to himself, in the past.

P.S. I do hope Gerry is feeling better.

did I miss something out here ??? " besides what Gerry has already done to himself, in the past. "


alcohol..food...women...other stuff ???

yeah, not getting the whole picture and I guess we'll wait when he gets interviewed for the film and people ask him, what happened in Serbia?

A new twist...

My heart isn’t bust... it was only dust

MOVIE hunk Gerard Butler was yesterday at the centre of heart scare claims - after sniffing DUST on a film set. The Bounty Hunter star complained of breathing difficulties while shooting his latest film Coriolanus.

Local media claimed he'd been rushed to hospital with chest pains and needed treatment for high blood pressure on Monday night. But last night the Paisley-born actor's mum rubbished the reports - and revealed his illness was caused by working long hours in dusty conditions.

Speaking from her home in Comrie, Perthshire, Margaret said: "It's a gross exaggeration. He's filming in old factories and the whole crew are suffering from congestion. That's it.

"There's dust everywhere and he's got mild congestion.

"He says they're all suffering from it and because he's filming they have to be careful." Margaret denied her son had suffered chest pains, and added:

"It was a local doctor he saw, he wasn't admitted to hospital. I know that he has been working very long hours on this film."

Butler is filming the movie adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy - directed by Ralph Fiennes - in Serbia.

The 40-year-old was prescribed throat lozenges by a local GP on Monday to help with the dusty conditions on set.

I can see how dust and congestion can be confused with food poisoning....I'm being sarcastic of course!

Geez. What about the high blood pressure? Makes you wonder if his mother is also minimizing the story a bit (or maybe her son minimized it when he talked to her). He may have had chest congestion, but where did they get the I.V. fluids and high blood pressure angle? I wonder if he might have also been dehydrated (with high blood pressure) and fatigued and didn't want to address that because he may have contributed to it a bit?

I totally believe the chest congestion part. This guy seems to be sensitive to chest and throat infections. I swear, he seems to have one or the other on every other film. I blame the years of smoking.

I'm sure this isn't the end of it all - and I'm sure that Gerry will tell his injury/illness stories when he hits the press junket. At least he'll have some new material.

Although how can he twist the story to make it more interesting and death defying when his mother said he only had "mild congestion" and the doctor only prescribed throat lozenges?

So let me get this straight. The Sun just picks up the phone and calls Mum Margaret instead of his publicist etc?

I'm sorry, but I find that really funny. And even more odd that his mother talked to them instead of telling them to contact his publicist. He is a 40 year old man with a team of people who deal with his career and image. Mama doesn't need to help him out.

Oh, I don't know, I think she's one of the few people associated with him who has his best interest at heart. Remember, his "people" booked him with major BEER and major SHAVING GEAR companies for Rio.

As for dusty sets, the crew and directors and wear masks and kerchiefs to cover their noses and mouths, but actors can't. Plus reciting Shakespeare in long chunks means breathing a lot and breathing deeply.

I thought the Butler swore off alcohol. No drinky means no brandy, right?

He probably was adversely affected because he's a mouth breather.....

Yeah, Nay.......I said it.

I worked in medicine for thirty years. Gerry got a touch of food poisoning/gastrointeritis, probably started having diarhia and maybe throwing up, got dehydrated, that will cause the pulse and pressure to rise, a bag or two of normal saline will fix you right up, no problem.

I don't believe the stuff about the chest pain or calling Mum. However, it does concern me that Gerry still thinks he can "party hardy" at "forty" without the side affects. It also worries me that he cleanses too much and does 500 calorie diets then he'll binge on burgers and cupcakes and rich food! He's hell on that body of his and I'd like to take my palm and smack him upside the forehead!

Ger

Do it!!

You're right, moderation is the key. Nothing wrong with cleansing, but you can't follow it up with gorging and gluttony.

Cleansing is not a bad thing but not when it's used for the wrong reasons. Gerry needs a good woman in his life to watch over him. I will volunteer, but I can't promise I'll be good.

Depends on the definition of good...
