The Actor’s Childhood Operation Left One Ear Protruding More Than The Other
Because Gerard Butler’s physical abnormality is so inconspicuous, he did not become aware of it until much later in life. The kid actor had surgery when he was younger, which caused one of his ears to protrude further than the other. Gerard has never noticed a change because he normally wears his hair in a style that is somewhat long.
It wasn’t until he shaved his head for the role of Tomb Raider in The Cradle of Life that he recognized his ears weren’t the same size as the rest of his head. The solution that Hollywood came up with was to tape one of his ears back, allowing the heartthrob to maintain his immaculate appearance.
