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.”
