Butler Vows To Stay 'Normal'

GERARD BUTLER refuses to allow fame to inflate his ego - and insists he is still a normal guy despite his successful career.

The 300 star thought his life would be dramatically altered after finding success in Hollywood, but he is adamant he has not changed.

He says, "(As a celebrity) you're still the same person who has to deal with getting out of bed every morning, going to the toilet, taking a c**p, whatever.

"I think there's a part of you that always imagines that if you encounter success, every fibre of your being will change. You know your whole cellular structure will change. And you will suddenly think and feel and behave like a different person.

"But you don't. You're still, 'Oh, so-and-so didn't call me' and 'F**k, I have to take care of that bill.'"
