It's not usually considered good form to open an interview by calling someone "a freakin' liar."
But it was delivered with a smile, and I figured Gerard Butler would have a sense of humour about it.
The point of contention was an interview he'd given for The Ugly Truth -- the rom-com he'd made with Katherine Keigl -- at which he as much as guaranteed that he'd never be seen sporting Spartan six-pack abs again. "I was ridiculous in 300," he'd said, describing the regimen as "incredibly difficult" and "pointless."
