Washington,
(ANI):
gerard
butler
fears
being
committed
to
a
woman
because
of
his
father
who
walked
out
on
his
mother.
The
300
star
was
brought
up
by
single
mother,
Margaret
as
his
father,
Edward,
moved
out,
when
he
was
still
a
child.
"I
act
very
awkward
when
I
am
with
women.
Perhaps
that's
because
my
mother
brought
me
up
alone," Contactmusic
quoted
him
as
telling
German
magazine
Joy.
He
added:
“My
father
gambled
away
all
our
money
and
eventually
went
bankrupt.
So
one
night
our
family
had
to
flee
to
Canada.
“At
that
time
my
mother
was
five
months
pregnant
with
me.
Shortly
after
my
second
birthday
my
father
let
us
down.
It
is
said
that
men
who
grow
up
without
a
father
have
a
fear
of
commitment."
However,
he
feels
it
is
the
right
time
for
him
to
get
married.
He
quipped:
"It's
about
time
(to
marry)."
