Gerard Butler has revealed the Olympus Has Fallen movies have a very famous fan. While promoting his new movie Plane, the actor shared that Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. dropped him an email telling him how much he loved the film when it was first released.
"Robert Downey Jr. wrote me the nicest email after Olympus Has Fallen. This is the same vibe," Butler told Uproxx. "He’s like, 'We need more of these movies.' These are the movies when I was in New York as a kid, and people would shout at the screen and throw things and be like, 'No!,' and applaud and cheer."
According to the actor, Plane is cut from the same cloth as those action hits, echoing movies of his childhood. "I think that’s what this movie is," Butler continued. "It’s a throwback to that, where literally you’re in the energy of the group, and everybody’s either terrified or cheering you on."
