Gerard Butler enjoys an action-packed day of sightseeing as he hops on a bike during Barcelona getaway
Gerard Butler made the most of his trip to Barcelona on Monday as he enjoyed an action-packed day of sightseeing.
The Scottish actor, 53, cut a casual figure for the outing in a relaxed linen shirt with the top buttons undone.
Adding to his look, he wore a trendy pair of khaki cargo trousers and blue Adidas trainers.
Gerard attempted to keep a low profile as he cycled through the city with sunglasses shielding his face.
The star has been kept plenty busy in the past few months, and only recently left Tenerife after spending 11 weeks on the island filming his new movie ‘Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’, which is due for release next year.

Meanwhile, Gerard last made headlines after revealing that co-star Hilary Swank actually got seriously injured during the filming of 2007 romantic drama P.S. I Love You.
The 300 actor appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show earlier this year and told the story about the on-set accident that sent Swank to the hospital and him standing alone in boxers.
'She's so cool and so great to work with that I almost killed her,' he explained to Barrymore.
The actor explained that his character, Gerry Kennedy, was supposed to get hit in the face with a crocodile suspender clip while getting undressed in, but the metal fastener ricocheted in the opposite direction and 'slashed' Swank in the head instead.
'The camera people had plastic fronts to protect themselves from this crocodile clip, it was so dangerous, I had to ping it and it would go past my face.
'This time, I'm crawling towards the bed, it gets stuck, it releases, flies over my head, hits her in the head, slashes her head. I cut her open, you could even see the teeth [of the clip].
'She has to be taken to hospital. Literally, image this studio and in three seconds everybody is gone and I'm just sitting there in my boxer shorts and my boots and a pair of socks and I just started crying.'
He says he 'almost took her eye out' and 'just made a fool of myself' as they were filming the scene.

Years later, the heartthrob laughed about the incident while retelling the story, but said the experience gave him imposter syndrome at the time because he was so nervous to work with Swank.
As for Butler's latest, he played a CIA operative trying to make it out of Afghanistan in one piece in Kandahar.
The film was written by former military intelligence officer Mitchell LaFortune, who based the story on his experiences working for the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2013 while being deployed to Afghanistan during the Snowden leaks.
Butler - who most recently starred in the action-thriller Plane - plays Tom Harris, an undercover CIA operative stuck deep undercover in Afghanistan when he learns that his mission has been compromised.
The soldier and his interpreter must make it 400 miles in 30 hours to their extraction point in Kandahar province in the film from director Ric Roman Waugh, who has directed Butler in
Along the way there will be a slew of Afghan forces trying to kill them both before they can make it home safely.
