Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

GERARD BUTLER TURNED TO GOD TO KICK NICOTINE HABIT




Movie star GERARD BUTLER had an epiphany at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, Israel - but it wasn't enough to stop him smoking.
The 300 star turned to prayer after hypnotism and patches failed to work, and for a moment, he thought a higher power had helped end his nicotine addiction.
Butler says, "I'm thinking, 'If this guy (Jesus) can die for mankind, the least I can do is quit smoking.
"I really felt an epiphany was happening. I even thought I saw a light around me. Four hours later, I bought a packet of Marlboro Reds. Who am I kidding? I need a cigarette."

This sounds like something my mother would do, tbh, but it made me laugh. And to complete the post:

PS I don't care what anyone says, smoking is sexy and it sells, and I don't even smoke! People just look attractive smoking, idk.

I agree, actually. Good looking men get a million times hotter when they smoke. That pic of Gerry I chose is a good example.

I'm all for getting healthy and prolonging your life by quitting smoking... but fuck me dead if there isn't something about Gerry with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth *fans self*
yelleatme 3rd-Nov-2008 05:31 am (UTC)
I saw a fine wrinkle and it freaked me out. That's why I stopped.
