It no longer felt like a life that I cared about. For Gerard Butler, beating out John Travolta, Antonio Banderas and Robert Redford for the title role in the movie adaptation of 'The Phantom of the Opera' was the easy part. I felt I stepped into a life that I never wanted. I trained at a top law firm in Scotland, and it made me so desperately unhappy. "I studied law for five years and I was actually president of the Glasgow University Law Society.
The hated occupation? Let's just say he appreciates a good, old-fashioned lawyer joke. Therefore, I relish the chance to work hard and to improve at something." "I love this job," says Butler, who's actually very attractive underneath the Phantom's mask and all those layers of makeup.
Since he's basically unknown - and not really a trained singer - the 35-year-old Scottish-born actor was thrilled that director Joel Silver allowed him a chance to prove himself, even though it meant months of voice and movement classes. Gerard Butler feels darn lucky to be starring in the big-budget holiday movie Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera.
