Here comes the Hollywood star! Gerard Butler gatecrashes delighted bride-to-be's bachelorette party on Sydney Harbour

Since Gerard Butler arrived in Sydney two weeks ago he has been snapped around the city with his arms around a variety of adoring female fans.

But the 44-year-old Hollywood heartthrob took it to the next level on the weekend when he crashed a hen’s party, much to the delight of the bride-to-be.

Dragana Ogorelica, a close friend of the bride, says they got ‘the shock of our lives’ when they saw the 300 star standing on the boat they hired for the day.

When the girls arrived at the dock, they expected a fun day out on Sydney Harbour, but the manager of the boat hire company said he had a surprise waiting for them.


‘We thought it was a stripper, because it was a hen’s party. But then we saw [Gerard] standing on the boat. We all just started screaming,’ said Dragana.

She reported that the actor called down to the girls: ‘Is this a hen’s party? Can I join? We’re going to dance a little bit, drink a little bit.’

Gerard Butler then told his management they could leave because he was going to stay and party with the girls.

The actor gave the bride-to-be a long hug, complimented her, and said her future husband was ‘a really lucky guy, whoever he is.’

Dragana said that the bride, Maja Nogic, who is a big fan of the actor, was ecstatic.

As Gerard was hugging Maja, her groom was on his buck’s weekend. The girls texted him to say they had met the star.

He replied: ‘That’s it, I’m going to go and find Jennifer Hawkins.’ He then told his fiancée that he would understand if she ran off with Butler.

The group were enamoured of the Scottish star, who Dragana said was ‘so nice and so relaxed. We all loved him.’

‘His accent, oh my goodness, it was so beautiful. You couldn’t understand him half the time, but you didn’t care because it was just gorgeous.’

Bevy of admirers: Gerard Butler has said that he enjoys his sex-status symbol, even though he knows it is mostly meaningless

Say cheese: The group had been trying to get footballer Sonny B Williams to join them for the hen's, but seemed pretty happy with Butler as a substitute

The 44-year-old actor, who has previously been romantically linked to Jennifer Aniston, Naomi Campbell, and Cameron Diaz, was happy to pose for photos with the group.

He even got them to take one doing his ‘signature pose’ - placing their right hands above their eyes and looking as if they’re searching the skies for UFOs. The actor said this was a photo he took with people all over the world.

Dragana said the chance encounter with the actor ‘started our day amazingly.’

The star is currently in Sydney as he prepares to play Set, the ancient Egyptian god of chaos and violence in the film Gods of Egypt, which also stars Geoffrey Rush and Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

He had hired the boat on Friday morning to look at some properties on Rushcutter’s Bay.

It is set to be a big year for Butler, who will also be filming a Point Break remake. He is slated to play Bodhi, the character played by Patrick Swayze in the 1991 original.

Butler revealed recently that the stunts in Point Break would be too dangerous even for professional stuntmen.

Producers have hired the world’s best BASE-jumpers and big-wave riders, such as Jeb Corliss, who jumped off the Eiffel Tower, and Garrett McNamara, who holds the record for the largest wave ever surfed – a 78-foot tall break off the coast of Portugal.

Butler is a bit of a daredevil himself and will be working on his free climbing and surfing skills in preparation for the film.

‘I don’t know yet whether I will be jumping out of aeroplanes. I want to. I would love to,’ Butler told news.com.

‘But BASE jumping, I don’t think they will let me do. And squirrelling [jumping from a plane in wingsuit] — that’s probably a bit much.’

Oh good grief.

Gerard Butler Crashes Bachelorette Party in Sydney


When Maja Nogic decided to have her bachelorette party in the Sydney harbor, she and her friends had no idea that the famous Hollywood actor Gerard Butler would be showing up and crashing the festivities in probably the biggest way possible.

The “300” actor was in Sydney, Australia because he was getting ready to film the movie “Gods of Egypt,” in which he was supposed to play the role of Set, the ancient god of chaos and violence, along with Geoffrey Rush and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from “Game of Thrones.”

Just before the girls started their party, Gerard hired a boat to look at some properties on Rushcutter's Bay, but when he saw the group getting their party on, he casually approached them and asked if he could join in the merriment, according to Daily Mail.

At first, the girls “thought it was [an exotic dancer], because it was a hen’s party. But then we saw [Gerard] standing on the boat. We all just started screaming,” said Dragana Ogorelica, one of the close friends of the bride, who, upon realizing the actor's true identity, said they all got “the shock of [their] lives.”

The 44-year-old Hollywood hunk reportedly asked, “Is this a hen’s party? Can I join? We’re going to dance a little bit, drink a little bit.” After that, he told his management that it was free to leave, as he would continue to stay with the girls and party.

Ever the gentleman, Gerard complimented the wife-to-be, telling her that her future husband was a “really lucky guy, whoever he is.” The man in question was elsewhere, busy with his own bachelor party, so imagine his surprise when his future wife texted him a photo of her and Butler arm in arm.

His reply was “That’s it, I’m going to go and find Jennifer Hawkins,” before adding that he would understand if Maja chose to run off with the actor.

The girls, meanwhile, didn't hesitate to snap a lot of photos with the star, while they gushed and giggled about his accent, “His accent, oh my goodness, it was so beautiful. You couldn’t understand him half the time, but you didn’t care because it was just gorgeous.”

Butler didn't seem to mind posing for snaps with the girl, despite the fact that he had been linked with some of the prettiest women in the world, the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Naomi Campbell or Cameron Diaz, proving that he was a good sport and a down-to-earth guy.
