Gerard Butler
The ‘300’ star is a big Hoops supporter

The 46-year-old actor, who is famous for his roles in blockbuster movies like “300”, “London has fallen” and “Machine gun preacher”, is a massive fan of Scottish Premiership club Celtic FC. Butler once played for Celtic in a charity match against Manchester United back in 2011 and described it to be one of the greatest moments in life.

In fact, Butler was in tears when Celtic beat Barcelona in a Champions League match in 2012. The actor was actually at a meeting in Dubai with some important businessmen and had asked them to leave so that he could catch the game.

Butler had also played the lead role in the movie “Playing for keeps” in which he played a retired footballer who played for Celtic FC and the Scottish national team. The actor had also got Singer/Rapper Snoop Dogg to wear a Celtic top on.
