During promotions for his newest film, Gerard Butler recently opened up about “Playing for Keeps” in a brand new featurette.

When describing his character, the 42-year-old said, “I’m playing a guy from Scotland who was at the peak of his career, and suddenly he’s in a small town in America and trying to put his life back together and form a relationship with his boy.”

With his new movie "Chasing Mavericks" set to hit theaters on October 26th, Gerard Butler sizzled on the November 2012 cover of Men's Journal magazine.

The 42-year-old actor looked sexy in his tattered, beach apparel for the spread shot in Malibu, while dishing about his stint in rehab back in February.

Taking in the crisp fall air, Gerard Butler was spotted out in New York City with a friend on Friday (October 5).

The hunky 42-year-old actor hopped on his bike and rode around the Big Apple streets before taking a quick lunch break.
