Busy: The 47-year-old actor was spotted on the set of latest movie Keepers, filmed on Port Logan

The latest scenes, filmed on an uninhabited island 20 miles from the rugged Scottish coast, see three lighthouse keepers arrive for their 6 week shift.

As Thomas (Peter Mullan), James (Gerard Butler) and Donald (Joe Alwyn) settle into their normal quiet routine, something unexpected, potentially life-changing occurs - they stumble upon gold.

Keepers is based on a true story that took place in the 1900s, which was dubbed the Flannan Isles mystery.

The mystery involves Arbroath lighthouse keepers Thomas Marshall, James and Donald MacArthur, who disappeared from a lighthouse during a terrible storm.

Following their strange disappearance, the bodies of the men were never found and conspiracy theories remain about who or what could have taken them from their post.

He told GQ magazine: 'Right now I’m training five times a week.'

Gerard added: 'It’s always a little harder when you’re on the road, unless you’re there for a while.
