Gerard Butler dating French reporter

Hollywood hunk Gerard Butler has silenced rumours of a romance with Jennifer Aniston after he was spotted enjoying a date with a French TV reporter.

In recent months, the actor has been plagued by speculation that he has been dating his The Bounty Hunter co-star, even though they have both denied reports of a relationship.

Butler is said to have met Laurie Cholewa, who hosts a Friday night TV show, at a press junket for The Bounty Hunter in Paris. They were later seen strolling hand-in-hand through the French capital on a mid-week date and sightseeing before enjoying an intimate meal at a restaurant.

Meanwhile, Aniston has revealed she's more than a little taken by actor Butler and finds him to be very sensitive. "He's an extremely hard worker, he is unbelievably fun," newsoftheworld.co.uk quoted her as saying.

"Not only is he fun to work with but he is so manly. I think what people would not expect is that he's so unbelievably sensitive and really compassionate.

"What you see is what you get."
