Gerard Butler reveals the real-life disasters he's survived with 'Slash or Pass'

I didn't realize how many connections I have to disaster

I didn't either. My life is a disaster. We're going to play Slash or Pass celebrating disaster movies

And specifically that means you've made disaster movies. Has that made you feel more confident that you could survive a disaster

Let's get into it. I'll present you with a disaster movie. I have some slides for reference

And I want to hear if you think you would like to Slash as then you could take on that disaster or Pass

as then I would rather not be a part of such a scenario. Okay. Okay

So it's slash or pass. Yeah, you get it. That's great. So first off, airplane

Flight trouble. Flight trouble? Well, yes. I am well-versed in flight trouble having made a movie with just three less letters in that plane

So I think that I would be able to pretty much get a plane out of any scenario

So that's a blow-up, Captain. Yeah, we went with a classic. So I like the idea that if a plane is in trouble, they might be like

don't worry, everyone. We have Gerard Butler on board. We're good. Well, I have many pilots

Has that happened? Are you kidding me? As a joke, right? Okay

Or, you know, because they often come and say hello, or when I walking on they standing there and I say to them by the way any trouble guys Yeah I got you I got you I think I would feel better if I got onto a flight I was like oh if Jared Butler here we fine

Absolutely. Next up is The Towering Inferno, so specifically a fire and a high rise

Did you do some research here? Have you been in a fire and a high rise? No, but I've spent the last three days hanging out with firemen in New York

because my next movie, I'm playing a fireman. So I, in fact, specifically have been getting schooled in fires in high-rise buildings

And what do you do? Where do you create the air, you know, and you take the roof off the windows

the, you know, the different jobs of them all. So I would say slash

Yeah. Wow. This is exciting. This is good to know, like, when in danger, just look for Gerard Butler

Titanic, a sinking ship. Could you survive a sinking ship? I, well, look, the Poseidon Adventure

maybe my favorite disaster movie of all time. That was going to be my alt

I was debating. Oh, really? Was it Titanic or Poseidon Adventure? Which one do we go

Yeah, and he's my hero, Gene Hackman. And I liked his, I still don't understand, though

the argument that he had about you've got to walk down and that's you really going up

I think that was even the writers were like it doesn make much sense But that feels like it was in warmer water So I think I have been okay with that Right I think I could have slashed that Titanic up there

Water that cold. I mean, and I do ice baths. But no. That's a pass

I'll leave that to Leo. Twister. Tornadoes. I've been in one of those

What? Yeah, yeah. And Chicago. Oh, my God. Just went right. We got Twister

We got tornado alert, tornado alert. And literally within four seconds, this tornado went right down the street

We were inside, so we were fine. And it wasn't one that size

But still, they scare me. Although I do have to say the tornado storm chasers, I do like what they do

I'm always like, what point would I? I watch a lot of tornado videos. So I'm often like, what point would I leave

So I wouldn't mind being close to one, but being too close, taking one on

No. That's a bus. That's valid. The Lost Bus is a wildfire movie

I mean... Being in one of them, too, one of them burned my house down. I didn't realize how many connections I have to disaster

I didn't either. My life is a disaster. Gerard, to be clear, I did not come in here expecting to just poke at your trauma

I'm going to apologize. I got through the last one so let say that a slush Hey you have slashed this And then we have our first Greenland Do you think you could handle a Greenland scenario Well I did I still here

And I even, not just that I get through it, I filmed it and showed it to the world

So that's a slash. I didn't realize you were so method that you literally are just surviving disasters

I live these disasters. Everyone. Well, speaking to Geostorm, which is the disaster is a geostorm, but I also went tidal wave

That was the part of it that scared me the most. Well, those geostorms can get you in many different ways, you know, and I'm pretty amazing, but I don't know if I'm that amazing

Yeah. So that's a... That's a pass. That's a pass. That's valid

This is a special request from a Mashable staffer who deeply loves The Happening. So I don't know if you remember The Happening, but essentially trees are killing us

I don't like cutting down trees. It's a real pet peeve of mine. Okay

So I'd have a major issue cutting down every tree on Earth if that's what was going on

Then again, if it was to save humanity, no, that's going to be a pass

I think I would not do very well there. Fair enough. Lastly, Greenland 2 Migration

I just put for disaster because we didn't want to give away too many spoilers. Such much disaster

You know what happens in the movie. Do you think you could make it through Greenland 2 Migration

Well, I don't want to give away too much either. So this is a trickier situation in Greenland 2

So I'm going to say that one's a pass. Fair enough. Yeah. Thank you
