According to TMZ, the crash happened as a car cut Gerard off while riding his bike around LA. He was immediately taken to the nearest hospital and treated. Luckily, he only suffered minor injuries, mainly cuts and bruises.

This means that Butler will be able to continue to promote his upcoming film Geostorm, which is set to be released in cinemas this Friday.

The story sees the actor starring as the architect behind an elaborate natural disaster defense system made up of several climate-controlling satellites around Earth, centered around the International Climate Space Station.

A malfunction in the system generates an incredibly big storm down on Earth and scientists have to team up and work against the clock to save humanity.

On the set of 2013, he broke some bones in his neck shooting the Olympus Has Fallen movie, and he was also trapped underwater during the Chasing Mavericks surfing drama.

Although having played several other roles at the beginning of his career, Gerard Butler became famous ofter portraying King Leonidas in Zack Snyder’s fantasy war film 300. The role earned him nominations for an Empire Award for Best Actor and a Saturn Award for Best Actor, while also winning the MTV Movie Award for Best Fight.
