Gerard Butler says wearing 92 pounds of stoick costume almost broke its back while filming for 'How to Train Your Dragon' | Mint

Actor Gerard Butler opened the physical challenge of playing Stoick in the recently released ‘How to Training Your Dragon’ adjustment, and revealing how different it was than to express the character in the original animated trilogy. Gerard Butler, who felt his voice famously to the strong and stubborn Viking captain in all three animated films, is now entering the role for the first time – and it was not easy. The actor talked about the demanding nature of the role: ‘I always wanted the chance to move my body, kind of trying to be the size and walk into the world. Unfortunately, I did not really realize that if you want to be so big, which means you have to grow up, or that they have to give you a big costume. Gerard reveals that the Stoick costume almost added its backup. So they gave me a costume that weighed 92 pounds. Best costume I’ve ever worn. It’s beautiful, but my back broke by the end of three hours. This film is great, and I thought this whole film would fall apart because Gerry Butler couldn’t wear the costume. Like a way to go down! “When asked if he kept souvenirs, Butler laughed and said,” No, I just wanted to get it off (laughs). I actually made my sword-Stoick’s sword and Hilt. Train your Dragon ‘released in theaters on June 13. The film has so far received positive reviews from fans and critics.
