Gerard Butler has confessed that he was once mistaken for a terrorist at a London airport after he'd just had an audition with Angelina Jolie.
The 'Coriolanus' star recalled the incident that followed his audition for 'Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life' in 2001 which happened when he was stopped by suspicious security guards.
Gerard, 42, had just been for his screen test and had a really difficult task of explaining to officials why he had extra material put on his shoes.
“Just after the shoe bomber plot in 2001, I flew to London from Montreal to do a screen test for Lara Croft. They’d built this caged floor for the set but they couldn’t hear my dialogue properly so they put felt on my boots,” he recalled.
“Straight after the audition I went back to the airport and as I walked through they went, ‘OK Sir, show us your feet’. And then I remembered I had this roughly cut, half inch of felt stuck to the bottom of my soles.”
Gerard must've looked like he'd lost the plot when he tried to explain he had the shoe material because he'd just been with Angelina Jolie.
“The guy literally went, ‘What the f**k is that? Security!’ The next thing I know there are 10 people around me and I’m telling what sounds like the most far-fetched story every about my audition with Angelina Jolie,” he said.
We guess Gerard is having the last laugh - although, we're pretty glad that they were tough on the actor.
Can you remember when he was 'dating' Jennifer Aniston?
