300 star Gerard Butler turns 40 this Saturday, the day before his latest movie, Law Abiding Citizen co-starring Jamie Foxx receives its UK premiere in his home town of Glasgow.

And the Paisley-born actor admitted hitting 40 has made him reflect on what he wants out of life and whether this might be the right time to settle down and start a family.

Speaking in an interview with the Daily Record, Butler, whose credits include rom com Ps I Love You and gangster flick Rockn Rolla said, “Right now, yes, I question a bunch of things in my life and I am in a lot of ways more comfortable than ever. I know what sill excites me and what is just never going to happen. But then also there are things I have different opinions on. Sometimes I think: ‘God, I wish I was married now, and had kids.’ Other times I think :’Thank Christ I am not married and don’t have kid yet, I can do that later.’ But I can totally imagine it. It’s just not right now. I am great where I am but it would be nice. It doesn’t have to be marriage. It could be to be in a relationship and I would definitely like kids some day.’’

Gerry also revealed he plans to celebrate the milestone in style - with birthday bashes in Scotland, London and the US all in the pipeline.

“I have to do the Jonathan Ross show in London the night before, but it’s a big deal. I have never done it before so it felt nice to do that on the eve of my 40th birthday,” he said.

“On my birthday itself I am going to have a party in London which is great because I don’t get to spend a lot of time there anymore. The next day I am going up to Glasgow where I am having a shared birthday party with my 11-year old niece, which I am a little bothered about because I deserve all the attention but she is getting some of it.’’

He adds, “No , it’s lovely, so I am going to have a family party with her, then when I make it back to New York I will do something there. I might even have something in LA as well but I am not going to have any big parties, just little fun ones.’’

Lindsay Lohan is baffled by reports she is romancing Scottish actor Gerard Butler, insisting the persistent rumors about her love life are all “lies”.

The Mean Girls star is alleged to have enjoyed a number of flings since splitting from DJ girlfriend Samantha Ronson earlier this year.

The latest tabloid claims link Lohan to The Ugly Truth star Butler after they were allegedly spotted kissing at the grand opening of a luxury beach resort in Morocco on Sunday. But she insists she wouldn’t have the time to keep up with all her suitors if the rumors were true and admits the inaccurate media reports constantly keep her smiling.

In a post on her Twitter.com blog on Monday, she wrote, “One minute I’m dumped, the next I’m dating a model, now Gerard? WHO HAS THE TIME! Such lies - it keeps me laughing.”

Gerard Butler has admitted he’s losing his Scottish accent - just like Sheena Easton.

Paisley-born Butler says he has started picking up an American twang similar to the Nine To Five singer.

The 39-year-old said: “I have to confess I always hated any person from Scotland who went and lost their accent in the slightest.

“When Sheena Easton made it in America and suddenly started talking in an accent, I swore and threw shoes at her on television.

“But I’ve spent a year and a half now playing roles as an American and I’m not comfortable enough doing those accents only when we film, so I have to keep it up all the time.

“I really hate myself for doing that.”

Butler plays a maverick TV star in his current movie, romantic comedy The Ugly Truth.

He said: “Everybody expected me to do it as a Scotsman but the character was American to me, so I played him that way.”
