Gerard Butler has denied that he is romantically involved with Jennifer Aniston.

The actor, who co-starred with Aniston in The Bounty Hunter, said that he is becoming frustrated by rumours about his private life.

People quotes Butler as saying: "That is just annoying. People say I'm always dating so and so, and sometimes it's three people in one day.

"I'm trying to make movies, work hard and do my best. Then this kind of thing happens and people start to associate me more with that. It gets ridiculous."

He added of Aniston: "She is one classy lady. Everyday I go to work with her I'm always surprised about how cool, easy and down to earth and real she is.

"I'm in New York right now filming and I'm in heaven. I can't always say that about movies, but to be filming this romantic comedy with Jennifer and a story that made my side split when I read it - I'm lucky. I'm happy as a pig in s**t, as they say."
