Gerard Butler Gets 'Sirius' in NYC

Gerard Butler stops by “The Morning Mash Up” at the SiriusXM Studios on Thursday (September 15) in New York City.

The 41-year-old actor has been busy promoting two new films, Machine Gun Preacher and Coriolanus, which both premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

“I think that was one of those career defining moments for me,” Gerard said about screening Machine Gun Preacher at TIFF.

“I’m very proud of the movie, I think it’s a very powerful, remarkable piece of work. Last year was kind of a time for me that I stopped and said, ‘Ok, really, what do I want to do right now?’ And I took on a couple of challenges, challenged myself with more edgy and grittier roles, with this and also with Coriolanus,” he added.

FYI: Gerard is wearing a Rogue plaid shirt.
