Gerard Butler reveals holiday from hell

Gerard Butler reportedly found out that sleeping in a tent in the Himalayas while suffering with food poisoning does not a happy camper make.

The Olympus Has Fallen actor chatted to Shortlist magazine about his holiday from hell experience, describing it as "awful".

According to Contact Music, he said: "We went up into the Himalayas and I drank water from the Ganges River. We hiked up to the top of this mountain and I got sick - and I mean sick. I ended up getting sick for a month.

"The water looks fresh up there but what I didn't realise is that, upstream, there's villagers pissing and s****ing in it. We camped on top of the mountain ... I'm up all night s****ing and throwing up, with a massive Himalayan thunderstorm going on. It felt like the whole world was exploding.

According to Female First, he added: "Finally the next morning they had to bring me down on a donkey, and in the heat and the smell, I had to get off and walk. It was the most awful experience."

It obviously hasn't put the A-list actor off travelling, though - at the beginning of April he was spotted taking in the sights of Rome with girlfriend Madalina Ghenea.

A few days later he jetted off to Johannesburg to continue promoting his new film, and tweeted a snap of himself 'surfing' escalators writing: "No beaches in Johannesburg so surfing the escalator on the way to the @OlympusMovie premiere!"

Then it was straight off to Mexico City where he was recently snapped enjoying a cycling tour with friends.

He also tweeted a pic of himself soaking up the country's pyramids action, writing: "Spying the pyramids from pyramids- Teotihuacan, Mexico."

Looks like he's having a better time than he did in the Himalayas...
