По поводу того, выглядит Джерри старше или нет - цитата из его интервью: These days, Butler looks a little older than his 35 years. It’s not so much his appearance, but his manner. He is, he says, “an old soul”. Indeed, he sometimes talks as if he has already done it all and seen it all.
Оттуда же. Про его жизнь до того, как он стал актёром (заранее прошу меня извинить, если вы все это уже читали): He really had been going down, spiralling towards self-destruction; not sure what he wanted in life. “You know there’s one thing I could say about large periods of my life: they were a hell of a lot of fun and they were a hell of a lot of pain. I think self-destructive would be a good word to describe it. And I don’t regret one second of any of that … because it allows me to appreciate what I have now all the more.” Eventually, Butler reached a stage where he lost all discipline. Friends noticed in him a frightening “Jekyll and Hyde” mode, at times exceptionally entertaining, and at other times erratically violent. “I’ve jumped around the edges of the roof of a 46-story building,” recalls Butler in his strong Scottish brogue, between puffs of a cigarette and sips of caf? latte. “You could find me throwing myself in front of cars or banging my head against walls. I would wake up with the worst cuts and bruises and lacerations.” Although he never officially attempted suicide, Butler says he often “felt so full of pain that I didn’t know how to deal with it. I felt it almost would’ve been better if I wasn’t even around. When I was drunk seemed like the perfect time to put myself in a position for something tragic to happen.”
