Gerard Butler, 54, spotted cosying up to stunning 29-year-old model in London

GERARD Butler has been spotted cosying up to a stunning model 25 years his junior.

The Hollywood hardman, 54, looked smitten with Sports Illustrated star Penny Lane, 29, on a stroll through London's posh Primrose Hill.

Gerard looked worlds away from his action hero persona and couldn't stop smiling as Penny massaged his shoulders in the street.

The beauty from Cheshire — who had a small role in superhero movie franchise Justice League — appeared besotted with him and giggled as she pawed at the bearded star.

Penny wore black leggings and a leather jacket with gold stars, which she teamed with a hooded top for their afternoon date.

Gerard also opted for a casual look, wearing a khaki suit and a flat cap.

The pair also wore wearing matching Adidas trainers, and ordered pints of Coke at a local pub.

Earlier this year Penny was voted Sports Illustrated Rookie of 2024.

Gerard, who shot to stardom playing a Spartan hunk in movie 300, was in a long-term relationship with interior designer Morgan Brown until recently.

He has an impressive roster of famous former flames, including Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Biel and Naomi Campbell.

He later entered an on-off romance with interior designer Morgan in 2014.

But the relationship had more twists and turns than some of his Hollywood blockbusters.

They dated for two years before splitting, later getting back together in 2017.

The P.S. I Love you actor finally called it quits with Morgan, 53, in 2020.

He is set to star alongside Al Pacino, Gal Gadot and Jason Mamoa in crime mystery flick In The Hand of Dante.

The Scottish star was spotted on set of the movie, which boasts legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese as executive producer, in Italy last year.
