Jennifer Aniston makes no secret that she's Scottish hunk Gerard Butler's biggest fan, praising her co-star in The Bounty Hunter as "fun" and fueling long-standing rumors that the pair are more than just friends.
“We just had so much fun together you know. He’s just fun. Gerry’s the most unpretentious guy,” Jennifer tells Access Hollywood's Billy Bush in an interview airing tonight.
“He’s a guys guy, but he’s absolutely the most lovely and sort of self-deprecating and just what you see is what you get," she says of Gerry, who stayed with her in Mexico. "We look at work the same way…we always had each other’s back.”
Jen is celebrating her 41st birthday at the One & Only Palmilla resort in Cabo San Lucas, with an A-list gang of friends including Courteney Cox Arquette, Jason Bateman and Sheryl Crow.
