The 'B' in Limelights (Part2)

was google-ing stuffs this morning
at college...obviously
wikipedia blindly

then...all of these came in to my mind


Gerard Butler

38 yrs old Scottish actor
currently dating Rosario Dawson
surprisingly, he appeared in a lot of movies
but he is not as celebrated as Brad Pitt...wonder why~


and you know what?
he was formerly a LAWYER...cool
before he ventures his career in Hollywood
debuted in James Bond : Tomorrow Never Dies

appeared as King Leonidas in the film 300
Phantom in 2004's version of The Phantom of the Opera

and recently
Cecilia Ahern's novel, P.S I Love You, as Gerry Kennedy
even in Tomb Raider : The Cradle of Life with Angelina Jolie
with his Scottish accent, the roles that he has played was awesome
especially those intimate moments in PS I Love You
and the strong vocal skills he presented in the Phantom

and he won the Tony Award once
not sure for which movie

some grandma stories of mine over here...

still remember your secondary school days
where we have to study this Phantom of the Opera for Literature?
I prefer Phantom of the Opera compared to Jeckyll and Hyde

when this movie was released in the cinema..
surprisingly, it was not as fascinating compared to the movie at the same period
and in the whole class of 50 students
im the only 1 watched this movie...and cried
