Gerard Butler shows his softer side

He's best known as Hollywood hardest working lothario.
But Gerard Butler showed off his softer side as he spent time with ill, young friend Abella Wyss at a charity screening for his new film Playing for Keeps on Wednesday.
The Scottish heartthrob made the poorly young girl's night as he gave her a hug ahead of the Soccer of Hope special screening in aid of the Los Angeles Children's Hospital at the ArcLight Hollywood.

Abella, who suffers from a rare genetic blood disorder, has struck up a bond with the 300 star who scooped her up in his arms at the screening.

The daughter of Gerard's friend Oliver Wyss has spent a lot of time with the A-lister over the last few months as he has been championing the young girl's charity.
The single star surprised onlookers by showing his caring nature, proving that there's a lot more to the actor than hit films and a string of conquests.
