Actor Gerard Butler, known for his role as King Leonidas in Zack Snyder’s film 300 , is one of the most beloved in the international artistic community, which is why his statements about his sexuality continue to echo.

In an interview, the actor commented that he spoke about his sexuality without shame, because he had no problem doing so; However, he also clarified that in most cases there is always someone who distorts everything.

“People seem intimidated by this issue and I don’t understand it. Every time I talk about it, it is misinterpreted and exaggerated. Gerard Butler is gay. I have been with women and also with men, but I am not homosexual. I don’t even know what I am… », he stated.

His statements were applauded by some and criticized by others, since socially there is a very strong tendency to classify people, ambiguities are not well received and it is the famous who pay the bill heavily.

The applause came because many of his fans described him as a brave and truly authentic being who did not mind destroying his image as a super muscular and manly man, a great example for heterosexual cis men.

The criticism, for its part, came from a very conservative sector that described him as irresponsible for confusing new generations with his statements and abusing his fame. They also asked him that if he did not know what he was, he should refrain from giving his opinion in public.

A pending sequel

Gerard Butler’s statements resonated again when director Zack Snyder announced that he would like to release a gay sequel to the film 300 about the love story between Hephaestion and Alexander the Great, titled Blood and Ashes .

Snyder said that during the pandemic he worked on the script; However, Warner did not like the idea and that is why the project remains stalled.
