What a man! Gerard Butler looks the tough guy driving off on motorbike after workout... but not before kissing a puppy

Gerard Butler appears to be made of a single substance — boyfriend material.

The 46-year-old put on the perfect manly display on Monday during a workout in the Hollywood Hills.

The actor first worked up a sweat on a vigorous hike with a group of friends.

Wearing a pair of Under Armour trainers and matching shorts, he showed off his impressive biceps in a sleeveless gray hoodie.

Then, to prove he was just as healthy on the inside, he stopped at a snack shop for a banana and a bottle of water. 

The 300 star then melted the hearts of any onlooking ladies - and some men no doubt, it being Hollywood - by smooching a pug puppy he found staring up at him.

After that it was back to manliness as he jumped aboard his motorcycle before speeding off, with one of his mates clinging to his waist. 

Unfortunately for any interested parties observing the masculine display will be saddened to learn it was just a tease, as Butler is spoken for. 

The Scott has been in a relationship with Morgan Brown since May 2014, following his split from Romanian model Madalina Ghenea, 27, the previous year.

Brown and Butler are believed to have reunited in April following a brief split earlier this year.

They were separated for months while he traveled the globe promoting his movies London Has Fallen and Gods Of Egypt.

On Wednesday Deadline reported Butler is getting set to film Angel Has Fallen, to make a trilogy following the respective falls of Olympus (2013) and London (2016).
