London, March 25 (ANI): Gerard Butler re-recorded his voiceover for animation film ‘How To Train Your Dragon’ because he felt his Scottish accent for his Viking character “wasn’t strong enough”.
The ‘Ugly Truth’ star requested directors Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders to let him repeat his dialogues after seeing the film preview.
“I actually saw the movie and believe it or not, I actually thought my Scottish accent wasn’t strong enough, so I went back in and redid a lot of it, trying to make it sound a little more Viking!” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.
Butler plays Viking father Stoick in the new DreamWorks movie. (ANI)
