Arnold Schwarzenegger Explodes Movie Myth About Gerard Butler's 300 Physique

Arnold Schwarzenegger has exploded the myth Gerard Butler was ripped and toned for his role as a Spartan hero in cult action film 300, revealing the Scottish actor's look was computer generated.

Schwarzenegger made the discovery after approaching the film's producer Mark Canton and asking for details about the fitness regimen Butler adopted to look like a beefy warrior.

The impressed Terminator star wanted to track down the Scot's trainer and hire him to get him back into blockbuster shape, following his two terms as California Governor - and was shocked to discover Butler's look was all movie magic.

He tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "I said to Mark Canton, 'You have got to get a hold of this guy (Butler). I want to know what his training regimen is.'

"Canton said, 'What are you talking about? (That look) cost me a lot of money.'"

Gerard Butler worked very hard to perfect his body...it was all him. He jumped into his role with all he had including additional workouts while filming to maintain his extraordinary physical condition. Hate to say this...as governor of California Schwarzenegger told a few fabrications and obviously is still at it. Don't listen to him.

Mr Schwarzenegger needs to read the article in "Men's Health" magazine that had the interview & pictures of Gerard Butler and described in detail how he got into that shape-he worked his butt off!!! The pictures are proof! there was probably some computer enhancement done but he was in incredible shape when he made that movie. maybe Mr. Canton was talking about how much it cost to pay the trainers!!! Gerard Butler is no fake!!!
