The gossip blogs are quickly turning a photo of Gerard Butler with his hand allegedly on the ass of Jennifer Aniston into a scandal we’ve dubbed “Butt-ler-gate”.
Addressing the pic, which was taken during the European promotion of The Bounty Hunter, on radio Friday (April 2), Butler said, “Yeah, I’m a bit of a bad boy.”
“By the way, I’m still not sure my hand was really on her butt. I think that’s just the way the camera was angled. I haven’t actually seen [the photo].”
Once again, the pic has led to speculation that the pair are dating, however, the actor is still denying the rumors.
“It’s been two years now of people saying, ‘Are you guys a couple?’” he explains. “And I don’t think it would make any sense to keep denying it for two years. If I was going out with Jennifer, I’d be more than happy to say I’m going out with Jennifer.”

I think some of it is in keeping with his macho bad boy hollywood image. It reminds me of a 40 year old going on 14. Whether his real personna is like this, one can only guess. For all we know he could be a gentleman who has been celibate waiting and looking for the ideal woman. Hollywood stars do anything they can to stay ahead of the pack., "Bad publicity is better than no publicity" as they like to say.
Frankly. I think audiences will tire of it and just want to see his basic talents and not all the spin. It would be a refreshing change.
Notice how he apologized to the girl he insulted. Remorse is often shown when someone does something that they would not normally do and care about others. Personally, I think he is addicted to attention and the high it brings. In fact i feel he has an addictive type personality ,especially to his own endorphins!
