London, March 18 - Gerard Butler has revealed that he ate 27 burritos for a particular scene in 'The Bounty Hunter'.

The director of the film apparently took numerous shots before he got the frame perfect.

"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," the Daily Star quoted him as saying.

He added: "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.'" (ANI)
