Scottish actor GERARD BUTLER is planning seven days of cross-continent birthday celebrations when he turns 40 next week (13Nov09).

The 300 star will reach the landmark age on Friday and he's delighted his schedule has landed him in Britain on the big day.

Butler admits he's planning a string of parties, with celebrations in London, Scotland, New York and Los Angeles.

He says, "On my birthday itself I am going to have a party in London, which is great because I don't get to spend a lot of time there any more. The next day I am going up to Glasgow, where I am having a shared birthday party with my 11-year-old niece. I am going to have a family party there and then, when I make it back to New York, I will do something there. I might even have something in L.A. as well."
