Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx: Friendly in Philly

They may be an unlikely pair, but Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx looked pretty chummy during a press conference at Philadelphia City Hall yesterday (January 23).

The “PS I Love You” stud and the “Ray” funnyman, along with director F. Gary Gray, were welcomed to the city by the Mayor as they continued filming their new movie “Law Abiding Citizen.”

Expressing his gratitude to the people of Philly for their hospitality, Foxx announced, “I have to thank the city of Philadelphia; you have opened your arms to us and it’s been great.”

As a welcome gift, the Mayor presented Foxx, Butler, and Gray with a Liberty Bell as an official welcome gift from the City. It is estimated that the 50-day shoot will bring more than $50 million to the city’s economy.
