The 300 Cast Laughed On Gerard Butler’s “This Is Sparta“
300 boasted a treasure trove of unforgettable lines that continue to resonate in popular culture.
Among them, Gerard Butler’s iconic declaration, “This is Sparta,” left an indelible mark on viewers and trailers alike. Surprisingly, the initial reception to this moment didn’t quite match the explosive impact Butler had anticipated.
During a candid conversation with GQ, Butler delved into his time alongside the cast of “300” and shared his thoughts on delivering that iconic line.
He openly confessed to facing some initial challenges, recalling how, during his first attempt, he delivered the words with a deep, almost monotonous growl.

“I had done quite a few takes and most of them were ‘This is Sparta,’” Butler said. “And it’s part process and part insecurity, maybe. And I go, ‘Can I just try another?’”
In the subsequent take, Butler unleashed a resounding scream, giving birth to the now-legendary line. Surprisingly, his fellow cast members’ reactions didn’t align with his expectations, but Snyder stepped in to offer reassuring words, affirming Butler’s powerful performance.
“And I turn around and all my army are literally like this,” he said, covering his mouth to hide laughter. “And I go up to Zack and I go, ‘That was too much?’ And he goes, ‘Yeah! But it was awesome!’”
However, Gerard Butler managed to deliver one of the most memorable performances in his career.
