Gerard Butler
Gerard Butler
There are two easy ways to get on Our Hot Bad List. No, not just being Hot and Bad, though that is part of it. No, if a Hot Guy wants to join Our Much Revered Pantheon, he should play either a) The Devil or b) a Blood-Sucking Creature of the Night. Lucky for Us, the lovely and talented Gerard Butler did just that in the otherwise execrable Dracula 2000. (I hear there’s actually a sequel, but my brain cannot comprehend the horror of that.)
In this movie, though, Mr. Butler spends much of his time picking up busty chicks from New Orleans and turning them into vampires, all while searching for this woman fathered by Abraham Van Helsing (played by poor Christopher Plummer, who deserves so much better than this). See, Van Helsing has managed to keep himself alive by imprisoning Dracula in a sarcophagus, draining his blood with leeches, then injecting the blood into himself to stay (relatively) young. Needless to say, when Dracula is finally released in one of the finest cinematic examples of a botched robbery that I have ever seen, he’s, well, pissed. And hungry.
Of course, Dracula’s story becomes a LOT more complicated, but also far less sensical, but that just leaves us to admire Mr. Butler’s non-dental assets. And his fantastic coat. I suppose if you’re going to attract celebrators of Mardi Gras, you better look nice. Even knowing the ending makes me want to have him suck on my neck a bit. I could be up for some gruesome and bloody immortality if I could spend it with the lovely Gerard.
Note to Readers: Hideously Deformed + Fashionably Questionable Half Mask =/= Hot Bad Guy, regardless of the pretty singing. So stop emailing us about Mr. Butler’s role in Phantom already.
with an extra point for the coat
I don’t want to spoil the ending, but yeah, pretty much one of the Original Villains
with a point deducted for the coat (a little TOO into the fashion)
