Gerard Butler was born in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, as the youngest of three children of Margaret and Edward Butler, a bookmaker. He comes from a Catholic family of Irish descent. His family moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, when he was six months old. A year later, after his parents' marriage ended, his mother left Montreal and returned to Scotland with Gerard, who was 18 months old.
