Gerard Butler Talks About His Big Slim Down

Preparing for his role in the pro-surfer movie Mavericks meant Gerard Butler needed to lose some extra pounds and he did so with an amazing transformation to his physique.

Speaking to Us Weekly Butler revealed:

“I ate my last meal in October, and I run about 40 miles a day,” while adding, ”I’m joking! It’s just doing a lot of cardio and extremely watching what I eat. I stopped lifting big weights and I’m doing yoga.”

At 41-years-old changing your body isn’t an easy task but apparently not for Butler who revealed:

“It’s not hard to stay in shape,” but  ”It’s hard to be in really good shape!”

The slim body was needed so he could keep up the appearance of a surfer, most of whom are often skinny in stature.

Gerard joked with E!’s Cristina Gibson:

“If I wear a long shirt, everyone says ‘Oh my God, he lost so much weight!’” adding, “But this is how I look. I just used to be a lot bigger. But now I’m surfing. I’m doing a surf movie so I have to slim down. I don’t know … maybe I’m sick or something!”
