The 47-year-old actor was riding his bike around the city when he was run off the road and had to be treated at the scene, before being taken into hospital by paramedics for further treatment.

But before you spend your life savings on a plane ticket to be his own personal nurse, it’s worth noting that the 300 star is thankfully reported to have not sustained any serious injuries.

Lucky for him no broken bones, just cuts and bruises.’

In fact, Gerard has escaped well enough from the accident to return to promoting his new movie Geostorm in the next few days.




The Scottish actor – who is a keen motorcycle rider – recently revealed that he’s no stranger to action injuries, after suffering a hernia during the making of 300.

Gerard starred as Leonidas in the hit 2006 film and in one particular scene, his character kicks a man down a pit while shouting infamous line: ‘This is Sparta’.

Just landed in New York A post shared by Gerard Butler (@gerardbutler) on Oct 12, 2017 at 4:32pm PDT The whole thing caused him to suffer a painful injury, as he recently shared: ‘My whole psyche through filming was, “This guy’s been through hell, he’s been through much more than I’m going through, so the least I can do is get a hernia from doing a little kick.”

‘Which I pretty much had by the second kick. My hip flexor was gone, a hernia… but it was cool.’

Gerard also previously suffered a serious injury during a production of William Shakespeare’s ‘Coriolanus’.

He recalled: ‘We didn’t know our lines, and it’s very physical theatre so they wanted 12 guys running. Run, turn, say the line, run, turn, say the line.’

‘But we all had stakes in our hands so we go and I turn this way and the guy next to me goes and sticks a wooden stake right in my eye,’ he continued.

‘I thought I’d lost my eye, and then I had a black eye probably for two weeks.’

Just call him real life Action Man.
