Gerard Butler fell sick after eating 27 burritos for one scene.

London: Scottish actor Gerard Butler fell sick on the sets of his new film `The Bounty Hunter` after eating 27 burritos for one scene.Butler was required to munch on the snack for a funny scene, but the director re-shot the moment 27 times, reports starpulse.com.

The actor was so determined to make each take as real as possible, he ate a fresh burrito every time. "It`s funny because there`s a way to learn to eat on camera when you just put small amounts in your mouth and make it look like you`re eating a lot. I`m not very good at that so that first day, I literally had 27 burritos," said Butler. "It was a scene in a restaurant and I`m just stuffing them in, pouring hot sauce all over them too and chowing them down. Every scene I had to start with a fresh one. By the end of that day I was so ill, but it had to be real." "I remember the director saying, `You don`t have to eat in every scene.` But I just said, `Look, it`s important`," he added. IANS
