People Magazine Blurb: Gerry sets the record straight

Fact or Fiction: Are Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston More Than Friends?

The Bounty Hunter costars Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler are making headlines with speculation over their off-screen romance – but a usually humorous Butler sets the record straight on one thing he doesn't find funny.

"That is just annoying. People say I'm always dating so and so, and sometimes it's three people in one day," says the actor, 39.

"I'm trying to make movies, work hard and do my best. Then this kind of thing happens and people start to associate me more with that. It gets ridiculous."

Aside from those pesky rumors, Butler – who also stars with Heigl" in The Ugly Truth, opening July 24 – has nothing to complain about when it comes to his current gig.

Aniston Is 'Classy'

"She is one classy lady," he says of Aniston. "Everyday I go to work with her I'm always surprised about how cool, easy and down to earth and real she is."

He adds, "I'm in New York right now filming and I'm in heaven. I can't always say that about movies, but to be filming this romantic comedy with Jennifer and a story that made my side split when I read it – I'm lucky. I'm happy as a pig in s---, as they say."

As far as Aniston's current love life goes – a source close to the actress, 40, says she's still happily talking to Bradley Cooper. But when it comes to working with Butler, "They get along really well, but Jen only likes him as a friend," says a source. "She can't see herself dating him."

Gerry's always setting records straight...for someone who likes to tell tall stories, why should he worry about such things?

Maybe there is a lady somewhere he doesn't want to hurt?

You know, I'm wondering the same thing.

Or maybe he's beginning to realize that his PR of late has been focusing more on who he's dating/picking up/clubbing with than on his movies. Wink

That TOO, DK!

You and Alice are so wise. study

I'm more inclined to believe that some hard conversations and plans have transpired regarding one's image and "thinking before speaking" tactics. He must surely realise that jumping the alleged woman's reputation and coat-tails isn't the only tactic.

One day, he may prove to be capable of more publicly circumspect behaviour.

What fun would he be then? I like that he's not afraid to say whatever comes to mind. His interviews are interesting and fun.

I don't know how well those 'think before you speak' talks go with G. So far, it hasn't had much effect.
