Gerard Butler Is One Spartan Rider...

Before you ladies start dreaming about becoming a two-wheeled machine just so you know how it feels to be ridden by Hollywood hottie Gerard Butler, let us tell you that the situation is far more appealing than it looks at first glance.

The 41-year-old Scottish actor was caught on camera by the guys at justjared.buzznet.com, while cruising the streets of Los Angeles, riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle, and wearing a true biker’s outfit that matched perfectly with his new slim silhouette.

Specifically, Butler was wearing a collarless leather jacket, jeans, sneakers and a visor less, black three-quarter helmet. The bad boy look was somewhat enhanced by the dark sunglasses and the beard. You can never use too much protection while... riding, though some of his lady fans will argue that he was a bit overdressed.

We did, however, wonder whether those jeans hide the same buttocks we got acquainted with thanks to the Law Abiding Citizen movie... If only his motorcycle saddle could speak...

Although Butler revealed recently he has no plans on getting back in the shape that made him so famous in the “300” movie, he did, however, managed to lose a few pounds that he had put on for his part in Machine Gun Preacher. His weight loss secret?

“I have been hitting the gym every day, and I try to train. I dieted and just looked after myself for a change,” he said for the intouchweekly.com. “Normally, I beat myself up during movies, and then I spend a few months recovering. I am in the recovering process, and I am being nice to myself,” he added.
