Gerard Butler says Jennifer Aniston is like family

New York: Scottish actor Gerard Butler has said that his `The Bounty Hunter` co-star Jennifer Aniston is like family.

Refuting rumours that the pair became romantically involved during shooting of the film, the 40-year-old actor said that he and the former ‘Friends’ star are nothing but ‘good friends.’ "I literally became a member of her family," a news daily quoted him as telling a website. "I went down for her birthday in Mexico. Of course, everyone takes that as something else, but we are very good friends," he added. Aniston, 41, reciprocated the same feelings for Butler, calling him "funny and handsome – [a] nice combo!" ANI
