sunglasses malibu beach Gerard Butler shorts facial hair

When you're a big Hollywood stud like Gerard Butler, I guess you must hire a personal security guard to walk the beach.

Great to see that Gerry, who is looking scruffy and super trim, is a fan of using protection. One can never be too careful in Malibu.

Looks as though the uber-cautious star loves his pet pug Lolita, too. What a cute little companion! Later in the evening, Mr. Butler hit up a party in the 'bu. See Gerard's late-night look ... after the jump.
