Gerard Butler was hospitalized after a surfing accident over the weekend. He was filming the upcoming surfing movie Of Men and Mavericks in Northern California when he was pulled underwater and dragged over a rocky reef. The 42-year-old actor was rescued by a safety patrolman but wasn’t seriously injured. A rep for Butler said it was “more scary than anything” and they took him to the hospital for precaution.
