Gerard Butler: “Playing a cancer victim made me quit smoking”
Scottis actor, Gerard Butler says that his role in P.S. I Love You, as a cancer victim has made him quit smoking:
The 300 star took the role as a huge hint he had to take better care of himself. He says, “I was smoking a huge amount and having real bad premonitions (of death), and then I get this role where the guy dies of cancer.”
“The film made me contemplate death and made me realize I was playing Russian roulette with my health. I’ve since stopped smoking. “And I think this is it… it’s been seven or eight months since I smoked.”
Way to go, Gerard! Keep up the good work!

Aw, thats great!! Anytime I hear a story about someone quitting smoking it makes my day. I quit 4 months ago after 2 years of solid smoking, and I’m soo glad I did it.
Anyone who is thinking about quitting, DO IT. You’ll feel so much better!

Good. Now he’s 100% perfect versus the 99.9% that he used to be.

wow thats really good. i too am quitting as of today which is a coincidence. I just hope I can do it! And I slso thought of what I was doing to myself and realized that I don’t want to die of lung cancer either and how stupid I am for even starting. It is a stupid, stupid habit and it makes you feel like a low-life. I am doing it for my overall health and well-being.

I lost my Dad when I was 3 years old. I know how devastating lung cancer can be.
