Gerard Butler is choosing to ignore all the controversy about "Gods of Egypt" and instead focusing on his wedding planning with his girlfriend Morgan Brown. Seeing how the controversy is about whitewashing and Gerard Butler being as white as he can be, it might be a safe bet for him to stay out of the discussions.
According to the National, "Scottish film star Gerard Butler is at the centre of a row over the lack of racial diversity among the cast of the epic new film Gods Of Egypt. The Paisley-born actor has been caught up in the storm that has forced director Alex Proyas and producers Lionsgate to apologise for what is known in the industry as "whitewashing" the cast."
The article reports that this escalated when Bette Midler tweeted, "Movie, #GodsOfEgypt in which everyone is white? Egyptians, in history and today, have NEVER been white. BRING BACK GEOGRAPHY!! It's Africa!"
On other news, Gerard Butler and his girlfriend Morgan Brown might have had a serious thought about their wedding this holiday season. Seeing how Gerard Butler will get very busy soon with "Gods of Egypt" promotional tour, it's now or never to nail the wedding date into place.
The actor might be fighting the frustrations of getting typecast, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he is neglecting his duties as a boyfriend and possibly as a fiance! He may be channeling his frustration for typecasting in movies like "Gods of Egypt" on wedding planning with his girlfriend Morgan Brown.
According to Entertainment Weekly, "Gerard Butler is ready to rule the desert in an exclusive new character poster for Gods of Egypt, Lionsgate's fantasy epic inspired by Egyptian mythology. Butler first broke through as an action hero playing the buff Spartan leader Leonidas in 300, and the Scottish actor returns to the sword-and-sandals genre playing Set, the god of darkness and the desert."
If the actor plays another hero of an ancient civilization, he may start flipping tables.
With Hollywood folding into wintertime, Morgan Brown may have to find creative ways to get her man's involvement in wedding planning.
