Some of the biggest stars in the world have appeared in the James Bond movie franchise but we are willing to bet you have never noticed Gerard Butlers cameo.
The James Bond movies have been going for sixty years at this point. As such some of the biggest stars in the world have appeared in the spy movie franchise including Sean Connery Christopher Lee Judi Dench Lea Seydoux, Mads Mikkelsen and Lashana Lynch. Basically, you can not shake a martini in the world of 007 without bumping into a celebrity but we bet you never noticed Gerard Butlers cameo.
Thats right Butler is in James Bond. Specifically he has in Tomorrow Never Dies and plays a sailor aboard the Royal Navys HMS Devonshire. He even gets a line telling his stressed out commanding officer we are now down 14 degrees by the stern. What does that mean? No idea but the ship sinks sank about 5 minutes after this scene so we are going to guess it was not good news.
Butlers far from the only celebrity to make a little cameo in Bond. In the same action movie Hugh Bonneville appears as a crewman aboard the Bedford while Madonna shows up in Die Another Day.Fun fact Butler claims he was actually considered for the role of Bond at one point. No. I had a meeting for Bond like 20 years ago he told Capital Radios Roman Kemp. Now I think I am at a nice ripe old age where they would not be coming back my way which is fine.
Butlers association with Bond does not end there though. He also appeared in the thriller movie Butterfly on a Wheel with Pierce Brosnan and was injured when a stunt went wrong. Brosnan was driving the car and we smashed straight into a wall Butler told The Scottish Herald. It was 3ft high the cable was supposed to hold us and it did not. We were in a car park in a Range Rover driving at full speed towards the edge of this roof and the cable did not hold us. We smashed into the wall my neck went out my ribs came out I had bruised ribs for months.
