Gerard Butler starving


27 March 2010

Gerard Butler has said that he starved himself after filming a series of movies.

The Bounty Hunter star claimed that he went on a 16-day cleanse to lose weight after several roles left him feeling battered and his body needed a rest following a grueling shooting schedule.

Butler said, “I had a lot of injuries from all these movies. I wanted to slim right down and kinda start building from there."

Talking about his 500 calorie per day diet, he added, "In the morning I think I had half a grapefruit and that was pretty much about it until two (in the afternoon) - and I was training as well.”

The actor is currently filming the historical action feature Coriolanus, in which he plays the commander of the Volscian army Tullus Aufidius.
