THIS is the moment a Gerard Butler fan is rebuffed by security after her pleas to take a picture with the Scots actor.
The scenes unfolded at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Saturday as Scotland hosted Georgia in their final warm-up match before the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
The actor recently narrated and starred in the announcement video for Scotland’s World Cup squad, and was a keen spectator as the home side won the match 33-6.
However, before the game kicked off, the announcement video was played at the stadium, who turned to give Butler a round of applause – which is when the fan appeared to take her chance.
The video, filmed by a match-goer from the upper tiers of the stands, begins with a shot of Butler, who is sitting in the front row of the VIP section at Murrayfield behind a security gate and Perspex screen.
The girl, dressed in a camel coat and jeans whilst draped in a Georgia flag, appears excited to have spotted the 300 star and pleads with security to let her ask the actor for a picture.
However, the security staff are unwilling and refuse to move from their spot in front of the gate, leading the girl to try her best to get Butler’s attention.
The girl looks towards the PS I Love You actor who appears to be engaged in conversation with the people either side of him.
He then applauds at the end of the squad announcement and whips the crowd up by fist pumping towards a large section of Scotland supporters.
Behind the camera, two men can be heard discussing the girls plan saying: “Aye, she’s trying to get the security guy to let her up.
“Shameless but I want to see what happens.”
His friend then chimes in, saying: “How do people feel having people just standing there?”
The pair conclude: “He’s [security] just going to keep standing there until they go away.”
The girl’s mum then appears to snap several pictures of the Hollywood star without her daughter before the pair make their exit.
The video was shared on social media yesterday with the caption: “POV ur begging Gerard Butler for a pic.”
The video received dozens of likes with comments from social-media users who panned the attempts of the fan.
One said: “Nah that’s too much.”
Another added: “So awkward.”
A third replied: “What a minter.”
Scotland now fly to France to begin their Rugby World Cup campaign against current holders South Africa in two weeks.
