London: Hollywood hunk Gerard Butler has a tough time keeping up his buff physique as he is addicted to cupcakes.
The 39-year-old who will appear naked in his upcoming film `Law Abiding Citizen`, said that it was hard cutting down on his favourite calorific treats, Contactmusic reported.
"There is definitely a lot of pressure for me to look a certain way and I`m not the kind of guy who always stays in shape. But it was hard because I love my cupcakes so my trainer constantly had to chase me around," said the Scottish actor.
Butler watched footage of Robert De Niro in `Taxi Driver` to motivate himself to workout.
"For this one I was inspired by De Niro in `Taxi Driver` because you see him doing those press ups and straight away you know so much about this guy. That`s the only thing that got me back into training and back looking cut again," said Butler.
The actor said that his love of food, makes it hard for him to keep in good shape.
"I want to eat my potatoes and French fries and sponge cakes. When I play a role where I have to look good and I can`t have my carbs it makes me crazy," said Butler who showed off a toned body in his role as a Spartan warrior in `300`.
