Gerard Butler admits that he’s used to rumours of romance popping up every time he co-stars with someone in a film, as they have with Jennifer Aniston recently.

But he hopes the rumour mill will give it a rest for his next film, the animated How to Train Your Dragon, in which Butler works with fellow Scotsman Craig Furgeson.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if I was linked to Craig,” Butler tells the Daily Record.

“But maybe they’ll come up with a way to say I had an affair with the dragon.

“Or that I had sex with all of them.”
