It’s 2pm on a sunny day in Beverly Hills when Gerard Butler walks into the Crescent Hotel for our cover shoot.

We're used to seeing Gerard Butler adopt a variety of on-screen personas. But his real-life role as a trainee lawyer is where it all began.

Strolling along beside the ocean waves, hand in hand, they look the very picture of health.
