Actor Gerard Butler is busy roaming around the world after filming his action film "Olympus Has Fallen" because he wants to become a monk.

In the past couple of months, the 43-year-old has been to Scotland, England, Italy, Switzerland, Thailand, Mexico and Colombia and all for different reasons.

He says he has been hiding a lot in temples to unwind, reported Sun Online.

"In the past six or seven weeks I've been to Scotland, England, Italy, Switzerland, Thailand, Mexico and Colombia - all for different reasons. But mostly for travelling, just going to places and seeing friends.

"A couple of the visits were actually about doing movies, but the highlight for me was in Thailand, becoming a monk. I was hiding out in temples a lot," he added.
