It has become one of the most iconic lines in cinematic history – and it was a complete surprise to everyone on set…
Since he played the legendary Leonidas, king of Sparta, in Zack Snyder ‘s 300 , Gerard Butler has mentioned him several times: his cult line, “ This is Sparta! ” (“ We are Spartans! ” in the dubbed French version) was somewhat improvised – at least in the way it was pronounced!
In a 2019 interview with GQ, for example, Gerard Butler explained: “ I had done quite a few takes and most of them were like ‘This is Sparta!’ ”, which he pronounces with a low, monotonous growl.
Indeed, after trying different “ This is Sparta!” ” varying in intensity, the dedicated actor – who did not hesitate to put his health at risk for the peplum – is still not satisfied.
“ I turn around and all the stunt guys are dying of laughter ,” he said in another interview with a hand over his mouth to hide his laughter. “ And I walk up to Zack and I say, ‘Was that too much?’ And he goes, ‘Yeah! But it was great!’ ”
When it was released in 2007, 300 was a huge success at the box office, grossing $456 million worldwide against a budget of $65 million.
Find all the times Gerard Butler mentioned his iconic line in this video published by Outstanding Screenplays on YouTube.
