He said-
“I sat down and said, ‘Hey, you know, she may have won the Oscar, but I think I really had to bring my acting down to do these scenes with her.’ It was a complete joke. You read it in print and you think it sounds terrible.”
Gerard Butler’s critical comment was not seen in a good light. The Paramount made him do a media training course for bad-mouthing the Academy Award-winning actor. The Plane actor even said-
“Angelina was cool. She said she knew I was joking, but Paramount said I was going on a media training course,” the actor said.

“I think we wanted to make sure there was a man who wasn’t some weak boy that loved her. We wanted to find a man that would be equal to her and just as strong and military and wild and he’s certainly has that and he’s a strong man and he has a great role and they are equal. He sometimes has one up on her and vice-versa.”
