Gerard Butler is “paranoid” about having sex.

The Scottish actor – who has been romantically linked to his ‘Bounty Hunter’ co-star Jennifer Aniston in recent months – admits he is afraid anyone he sleeps with will go on to sell their story so is much more cautious about his behaviour.

Referring to golfer Tiger Woods – whose extra-marital affairs have been recently made public – he said: “I get laid less now than I used to, because I’m way more paranoid now. Look at f***ing Tiger Woods!

“I mean, I’m nowhere near as naughty as I used to be, partly because I did a lot of that when I was drinking.”

However, the ‘P.S. I Love You’ star hasn’t curbed his behaviour completely – he is just more discreet.

He told Men’s Health magazine: “I’m not saying I’ve cut that part out. I’m certainly no angel. There’s no smoke without fire. But here’s the thing: While they’re accusing me of that, I’ve probably been off somewhere else doing damage with someone else. I’m pretty smart like that.”

The 40-year-old star also feels he is addicted to “anxiety” and can’t help but create stressful situations for himself.

He said: “I was born into a world of anxiety… I am slightly addicted to anxiety. When I’m feeling anxious, I’ll create more anxiety for myself.

“Like I might call all these people about what’s fun to do tonight and end up with four different options, which in itself would put me into a blind panic; but then I’ll make another four calls just to make it 10 times more anxiety-ridden.”

The ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ star turned his back on a fledgling career as a solicitor when he was just weeks away from qualifying in order to pursue his Hollywood dream, but admits he wasn’t in his right mind when he did so.

He told the December issue of Britain’s Men’s Health magazine: “You have to understand that I was completely out of control. If I hadn’t been so lost and insane, I’d still be a lawyer. I said to myself, I’m aiming for the stars. I’ll worry about the details later.”

The 39-year-old star admits he had reached a low point in his life when he made the decision, but is overjoyed with how his life has turned out.

He said: “That was the worst day of my life, now it’s the best.”

The ‘P.S. I Love You’ actor credits a stroke of luck with helping him achieve success, but insists he wouldn’t have made it if he didn’t work hard.

He explained: “The universe conspires. Once you decide to do something, the universe starts to help you.

“There are a lot of people who are really talented, and I can see they’re not going to make it because they don’t work hard enough.”

Gerard recently admitted he had got so used to the Hollywood lifestyle, he struggles with everyday tasks when not filming.

He said: “I get a bit lost for about a week. I think, ‘No one is bringing me lunch anymore – I’ve got to go do that myself?’ ”
