Gerard Butler plans musical
makeover
Thr 300 star
is trying to relaunch himself as a singer, and has sought advice from the likes
of Manson and Tenacious D's Jack Black.
Hollywood
hardman Gerard Butler is being advised by Marilyn Manson as he plans to turn
himself into a rock star, US reports have claimed.
The Paisley
pin-up is said to be writing songs and making an album.
And according
to the National Enquirer, pal Johnny Depp has introduced him to music industry
veterans including Goth idol Manson and Tenacious D star Jack Black.
The magazine
quoted a Hollywood insider as saying: “Gerry is rocking out big time and is
already writing songs and cutting an album.
“He’s been a
closet singer for years and has decided the time is right to try doing it
professionally.
“In fact,
he’s in the process of making what he hopes will be a best-selling CD.”
Gerry sang in
a movie version of Phantom of the Opera and jammed with US rocker John Mayer in
2010 as he celebrated his 41st birthday at New York’s Darby Club.
And the
Enquirer says he returned to the Darby’s stage in April this year, getting a
rousing reception as he belted out tunes by The Rolling Stones, The Doors and
Oasis.
Gerry is said
to have sharpened his focus on music after a stint in rehab this year.
He checked
into the Betty Ford Centre after reportedly having problems with prescription
drugs. Reports claimed he suffered pain after his gruelling physical training
for 2006 movie 300, and a surfing
accident while filming Of Men and Mavericks last December.
A spokesman
for the star said in February: “Gerard has completed a successful
course of treatment and has returned home in good health.”
The
Enquirer’s source said: “Gerry started channelling all his energy into music
and it’s turned out to be a great outlet.
“He even
turned to Johnny Depp for advice on putting a first-rate band together.
“Johnny and
Gerry have jammed together, and Johnny introduced Gerry to some of his musician
friends, including Marilyn Manson and Jack Black.”
Celtic-mad
Gerry plays a former professional footballer in his new movie, comedy drama
Playing for Keeps.
