Gerard Butler has said that he will "be a little more careful" about future roles after his surfing accident while filming On Men and Mavericks.

The 42-year-old was hospitalized in December when a wave knocked him over and dragged him across a reef on location in California.

"Many times I've found myself in positions I shouldn't be in. I was underwater for a long time and I remember thinking, 'This is crazy'," he recalled to The Mirror.

"I don't mind taking bumps and bruises but then you think, 'Hang on a minute, this is my life!' I should be a little more careful when I'm choosing my roles... I'd still like to be around in a few years!"

Butler previously insisted that reports of his accident "were not exaggerated", describing it as a genuinely "close call".

Of Men and Mavericks opens in US cinemas on October 26, 2012.
