Gerard Butler is one of the hunkiest men in Hollywood. After all, he did suffer two accidental gun shots to the head while filming Machine Gun Preacher, a freakishly high wave won’t get him down.
E! Online reported the Ugly Truth actor got into an accident while filming a movie about surfing in Northern California.
He was at Mavericks, which is known for powerful, stories-high waves, on the set of Of Men and Mavericks with professional surfers Greg Long, Zach Wormhoudt and Peter Mel on Sunday.
According to the Asssociated Press, all four men were in the water trying to avoid 15-foot waves when a much larger wave formed in front of them.
The 42-year-old actor was underwater for two waves before he was washed through some rocks and pulled out by a safety patrolman.
Wormhoudt told reporters Butler was a little shocked by the accident but suffered no serious injuries. However, he was taken to Stanford Medical Center for further examination and released shortly after.
He reportedly had little surfing experience and was told what to do in situations like the one he experienced.
“Everything he was doing was within reason,” Wormhoudt said. “We took like four to five pretty big waves on the head. Basically there’s nothing you can do. It was intense for myself, and I’ve been through a lot out there.”
Now that he’s okay, Butler’s probably earned a few high fives and street cred from the pros.
