"The thing about courage is it’s something that we have to learn and relearn our whole lives. It’s not just in you, it’s in every choice we make every day."
~ Gerard Butler
Famous Scottish actor, Gerard Butler is known for his fine work in movies such as 300, London Has Fallen, The Phantom of the Opera, The Bounty Hunter -- among many others.
As the standard of Hollywood actors goes Gerard Butler is a pretty big guy (not as big as he looked in 300 though). He is listed as 6-feet-2 inches tall on most of the websites on the internet and he surely appears to be in that range.
But after taking a careful look at him and comparing his height to that of some other interesting people like Tom Hardy (5'9"), Hugh Jackman (6'2"), Morgan Freeman (6'2½"), and some others, we think Gerard's real height may lie somewhere between 6-feet-1 inches to 6-feet-2 inches.
Gerard Butler's height twin in Hollywood would be Hugh Jackman (though Hugh was a bit taller in his prime at 6'2").
The real height of Gerard Butler is
6'1½" or 187 cm
