We all know Gerard Butler for his impressive physique in 2006 for the movie 300.
But after adopting a rigorous diet and exercise regime, Gerard Butler has had some major weight loss and is looking different – good but different.
A slim looking Gerard Butler
The 41-year-old actor displayed his slimmer frame in a light grey suit as he attended The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s 2011 Installation Luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel yesterday.

Butler looked noticeably trimmer around his torso area as well as his open shirt collar drawing attention to his thinner face and neck.
His trousers looked baggy around his legs and Butler’s single-breasted jacket also highlighted his slimmer physique.
Can you spot the difference between 2009 and 2011
Butler previously went into serious training for the movie 300, although some suggested his impeccably defined abs were entirely the result of computer trickery.
The actor however insists he worked hard to sculpt his body in preparation for the role, and was thrilled with the results.
He said: ‘You know that every bead of sweat falling off your head, every weight you’ve pumped – the history of that is all in your eyes.
‘That was a great thing, to put on that cape and put on that helmet, and not have to think, “S**t, I should have trained more.”
‘Instead, I was standing there feeling like a lion.’

However, after shooting the movie, Butler admitted he struggled to maintain the diet and exercise regime he had followed for the movie.
He said: ‘My diet is still never quite as scheduled as I wish it were, but now I try to eat vegetables and chicken instead of burgers and fries like I used to.’
Butler can next be seen playing Sam Childers in Machine Gun Preacher, the story of the former criminal turned crusader who founded an orphanage in Africa.
Talking about the role recently, the actor said: ‘Those other roles were based on historic characters who became the stuff of legend, but Sam is a guy of our times.
Then and now Gerard Butler
‘There is more complexity in a modern-day character who’s a drug addict and a biker turned businessman, missionary and soldier. You don’t get roles like this very often.’
