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.”

Gerard Butler, who packed on some pounds after “300,” is hitting the gym hard to get back in shape, but he doesn’t want anyone to know.
“He’s so embarrassed that his six-pack abs have gone, he works out wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses,” gushed our spy.
“Can you imagine the ladies’ response when they think they scored a Spartan warrior but instead see that gut! He joined a private gym in Chelsea, Peak Performance, that’s so discreet, it’s on the eighth floor and strictly limited to approved members” — one of whom ratted Butler out.

How does Gerard Butler deal with those pesky Jennifer Aniston relationship rumors?
By joking about it.
“Conan [O'Brien] asked me about Aniston, who is my costar in the movie I’m making now, and I just said, ‘Yeah, we’re getting married. What the he–,” Butler tells Parade magazine.
“Tell a joke, that’s my technique,” he continues. “I learned as a kid how to stay out of trouble: make it funny.”
He also kids about walking down the aisle with a few other women.
“I’m careful to also say that I’m marrying Cameron Diaz and maybe Joan Rivers,” says Butler, who was briefly linked to Diaz in April 2008. “I like to tell everyone I’m going to be a busy guy.”
Butler wasn’t as smooth with his The Ugly Truth costar, Katherine Heigl.
“Truthfully, one time I was supposed to play with Katherine’s hair and I kept forgetting my lines,” he explains. “I was so nervous that I grabbed her breast. Afterwards, all I could do is say ‘I’m sorry.’ Yeah.”
But later?
“We went back to our trailer and made out after the dancing scene,” he quips.

Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl had to evacuate the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles Saturday night.
The Ugly Truth costars were told to leave their rooms while police were investigating a bomb scare.
People reports:
While police were investigating a bomb scare at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles, actors Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, inside the hotel promoting their upcoming film, The Ugly Truth, were forced to evacuate, along with 400 other guests.
For two hours, the stars mingled with fans outside the luxury hotel before retreating to the nearby Il Cielo restaurant. Butler, one eye witness tells PEOPLE, was spotted posing for pictures with members of the AC Milan soccer team, in town to play the Los Angeles Galaxy Sunday night. Heigl, barely recognizable with her hair dyed red, was seen leaving the hotel during the 1:45 p.m. evacuation.
Police investigated the premises and found no unattended packages or luggage and the hotel reopened two hours later. The bomb threat was delivered via telephone, police told PEOPLE.
The Ugly Truth will be released in North America on July 24, 2009
