The actor plays the part so well, in fact, that perhaps he should have just played the same character across all of his movies. The historical epic 300 was a massive moment in Gerard Butler's career, pushing him into the A-list and making him a bonafide action hero. The International Olympic Committee has said that it'd like the worldwide event to still happen, even if it's held without spectators with the committee having asked the athletes to continue to train for their sports ahead of the summer games. The torch will continue its journey across the country through to March 19th and will end its journey in Athens on that date.Дue to the ongoing issues surrounding coronavirus, the Olympic games could potentially face cancellation this year. Gerard Butler was invited to carry the Olympic torch from Mystras, Greece to Sparta. It was an empowering speech that Leonidas himself surely would have been proud of. He talked about how people continue to look up to them as symbols of heroism and he has been profoundly changed by their courage. In the speech, Butler paid tribute to the historical legacy of the Spartans. Where better to belt out the line once more than in Sparta, standing underneath the statue of the king he portrayed in 300. It is by far the actor's most famous line of dialogue, and it is great to see him resurrect it for this speech, with the crowd obviously loving it. All done in super-slow-motion, of course. Proving in no uncertain terms that Gerard Butler does, indeed, still have it, the actor delivered the iconic line that his character screams at an invader before kicking him down an endless pit. I stand here as a man profoundly changed by your courage and your history.

I stand on the ground of a thousand heroes. From Romans right up to modern times, the US special forces, across the world, when people look to heroism you Spartans set the standard. For a standard set so high that generations of warriors would follow it.

'How can you make a movie that explains how the Spartan code became a byword, became synonymous for a way of life.
