Gerard Butler Celebrated His 50th Birthday By Releasing Sea Turtles Into The Ocean

What's better than a handsome celebrity hunk who's easy on the eyes? What about a handsome celebrity hunk who's easy on the eyes and also passionate about the environment? You show me a cutie who loves animals, and I'll show you my future ex-husband!

Gerard Butler just proved he's all of that and more with his unique decision on how to celebrate his 50th birthday!

Gerard Butler is one of our certified celebrity crushes.

The Ugly Truth, Playing For Keeps, 300, Law Abiding Citizen, The Bounty Hunter... Do I need to go on? Gerard has accomplished so much in his life that it's almost hard to believe he's only 51 years old — at least, until you get a look at how handsome and youthful he is!

He's just revealed that he celebrated his 50th birthday in a pretty unique way!

“I’m not a birthday party guy,” Gerard said in a new interivew.

“I’ve often, on my birthday, at 7 p.m., said ‘okay, let’s have dinner,'" he said.

"Everybody is told with 15 minutes to spare. But this time, I actually did a big event in Costa Rica and brought loads of friends down," Gerard explained of his 50th birthday in 2019.

If there's any big birthday to celebrate in Costa Rica, the big 5-0 is probably the one!

Gerard said it was a “very, very powerful" event.

He explained that he “brought down a lot of spiritual people, a lot of performers,” and that the entire group “did a lot of environmental stuff, like releasing sea turtles out into the ocean.”

I'm sorry, I'm trying to get past the mental picture of Gerard Butler holding little baby sea turtles, and I keep getting too distracted by the cuteness to finish writing.

“It was such a mix of so many things, I’m so glad I did it," Gerard said.

This has given me some inspiration on how to celebrate my next milestone birthday! Of course, I've been turning 29 every year for a few years now, so it might be a while before that happens, but that gives me enough time to get my hands on some sea turtles.
