It is fair to say that Butler's success has come despite the lack of critical approval, rather than because of it. Many of his films have bombed critically, even as they have racked up millions of dollars. And he is famed for his outspokenness, especially about his love life, which has led to him being vilified and teased by US gossip columnists. A Brit, he is better known in America than at home. Fame has arrived for him late, at the age of 40. Yet Butler is a far from conventional star. They are action films, romantic comedies, thrillers and even voice-overs in animated pictures. Butler movies seem to keep coming in an endless procession, including four alone in 2009. Before that he was cast in The Ugly Truth, opposite Katherine Heigl, who is often touted as Aniston's successor. He is currently the star of The Bounty Hunter, playing the role of romantic interest for Jennifer Aniston, perhaps the most bankable female star in Hollywood. But then Butler has travelled a long way from his native land. "I wanted something elegant and gorgeous and at the same time rather masculine and raw," Butler said, before adding confusingly: "I guess I would describe the apartment as bohemian old-world rustic chateau with a taste of baroque." The spread of pictures revealed a massive apartment filled with pillars, limestone lion statues and crystal chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings.īutler himself did not shy away from bragging about his surroundings, which were created by designer Elvis Restaino. Just how far Butler has come from his roots in Paisley was revealed by the magazine's glamorous shots of his New York loft and the gushing prose that accompanied the photographs.
