We're so used to seeing female celebrities resembling stick insects, that it doesn't really surprise us any more but when a hot movie star, Gerard Butler, in particular says that he starved himself, we were shocked!

But don't worry Gerard Butler fans, its nothing serious, Gerard just wanted to cleanse his body after filming movies.

According to Digital Spy, Gerard went on a 16 day cleanse to loose weight after roles left him feeling “battered”.

“I had a lot of injuries from all these movies...I  wanted to slim right down and kinda start building from there.”
He's looking good to us...

And being the true professional, Gerard put himself on a 500 calorie- per- day diet, but it soon left him feeling “depressed.”

500 calories a day?! That would make anyone feel depressed!

“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.”

Well Gerard, from where we're standing, you're perfect as you are.
