Recently, social media and chat groups have been buzzing with a rumor: Gerard Butler is filming a movie in Ubud. The actor has been spotted several times in the city center, casually walking, interacting with people, and posing for photos with fans. Naturally, this raises the question: is it a film shoot or is Butler simply vacationing on the island?
In reality, there's no mention of a film shoot in Ubud yet. According to local media and social media videos, the star of '300', 'Greenland', and 'Law Abiding Citizen' is in Bali for leisure, not work. He is spending the New Year holidays with his partner Morgan Brown and, judging by the footage, is simply enjoying the island's tranquil atmosphere.
The actor has been frequently seen without security or a film crew — in casual everyday clothing, far from the usual Hollywood grandeur. Viral videos show Butler smiling, taking pictures with fans, and even hugging them after photos.
Interest in his visit is further fueled by the fact that his new film, 'Greenland 2: Migration', is set to be released in early January 2026. Against this backdrop, the actor's appearance in Bali could easily be mistaken for part of a promotional campaign or preparation for filming, but there is no evidence to support this.
Nevertheless, the very fact that a Hollywood star of such caliber is casually strolling through Ubud and interacting with locals has once again sparked discussions about Bali as a place where celebrities can be 'just people', rather than paparazzi targets.
