Playing A Cancer Victim Made Butler Quit Smoking....

Scottish actor Gerard Butler quit smoking after playing a cancer victim in his new movie P.S. I Love You.The 300 star took the role as a huge hint he had to take better care of himself.He says, "I was smoking a huge amount and having real bad premonitions (of death), and then I get this role where the guy dies of cancer."The film made me contemplate death and made me realise I was playing Russian roulette with my health. I've since stopped smoking."And I think this is it... it's been seven or eight months since I smoked".
