“300”‘s Gerard Butler Nude

We can't speak for everyone who saw "300" this weekend, but we're sure we weren't the only ones helping to inflate those box office figures who were less interested in all that stylized blood and gore than in all that (even more stylized) abtastic beefcake filling up practically every frame on the screen. Thanks to this grainy pair of screencaps from star Gerard Butler's split-second nude turn in 1997's "Mrs. Brown", we don't need any fancy CG wizardry to see exactly what kind of weapon he was hiding beneath his loincloth the whole time; from the looks of things, a battle sword isn't the only thing he's had experience swinging through the air.
