Gerard Butler set for mini new role

London, Mar 22 : Gerard Butler could be seen playing a cheeky leprechaun in an upcoming all-star fantasy movie.

The Scottish actor will be digitally shrunk for the as-yet-untitled film.

The film boasts a strong starcast, including Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet and Naomi Watts.

And the plot sees Butler''s character being kidnapped by Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott''s on-screen baddies, who want to steal his treasure.

"I play the most perverse, disturbing, disgusting, foul-mouthed leprechaun you could ever imagine. I''ve been kidnapped by Johnny and Seann so they can get their pot of gold. But they don''t quite realise what they''ve bargained for," the
Daily Star quoted him as telling the Sunday Mail.
