As a die-hard movie enthusiast who has witnessed the magic of Gerard Butler’s acting prowess in both animated and live-action films, I can confidently say that his transformation into Stoick the Vast for the upcoming live-action remake of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ is a truly exhilarating prospect.
I must admit, though, the journey wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for our man Gerry. When he shared with Entertainment Tonight that he didn’t grow Stoick’s iconic beard himself but rather relied on some serious prosthetics, I found myself nodding in understanding – five pieces of hell indeed! Hours spent daily just getting the beard and costume on, as Butler described it, is no joke.
However, what truly captivated me was Gerard’s enthusiasm for fully immersing himself in Stoick’s world. He explained that while the animated version offers a glimpse into the fantasy realm, stepping into the live-action version puts you right in the Viking village and the arenas – an experience that takes it to a whole new level.
The film wrapped up in May, but it wasn’t all fun and games. Gerard revealed the struggle of donning a 90-pound costume in the cold weather of Belfast, Northern Ireland. But even with these challenges, he was thrilled enough to call the movie ‘incredible,’ even before the visual effects were finished.
With original writer-director Dean DeBlois at the helm, I have high hopes that this adaptation will be something truly special. I can hardly wait to see Stoick and the dragons on the big screen like never before! The remake might just make the wait worthwhile.
Oh, and by the way, if you ever find yourself in Belfast during a freezing winter, remember – don’t try to wear a 90-pound costume without proper insulation…or you may end up with a case of Stoick’s frozen toes!
Gerard Butler is among a small group of actors who have the chance to portray a character in both animated and real-life films. In the forthcoming live-action adaptation of “How To Train Your Dragon“, he reprises his role as Stoick the Vast, Hiccup’s father. Although the prospect is thrilling, Butler revealed that it wasn’t a simple stroll through the park.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Butler confessed that Stoick’s famous beard wasn’t his own growth but rather a result of using prosthetics. He referred to the experience as “five pieces of agony,” explaining that it took him hours daily to put on the beard and costume, describing the process as demanding.
Apart from discussing his affection for immersing himself in Stoick’s realm, Butler mentioned how unique it is to be part of the live-action adaptation. As he put it, “When it’s animated, you don’t have the chance to dwell in that world. However, being a part of this live-action version, you’re right there in the Viking village, within the arenas. It’s an entirely new experience.
The shooting concluded in May, but it wasn’t just a joyride. Butler disclosed that donning an 90-pound costume in Belfast’s chilly climate of Northern Ireland was no joke. Yet, he has already watched the movie and described it as ‘remarkable,’ even before the special effects were polished up.
Under the guidance of its original writer-director, Dean DeBlois, this upcoming live-action take promises to be quite remarkable.

As a lifelong fan of the Viking saga, I can hardly contain my enthusiasm knowing that Butler and his team are fully immersing themselves in the Viking lifestyle to bring this cherished story to new heights. The prospect of watching Stoick and the dragons on the big screen in a revitalized manner has me convinced that this remake will be worth every moment of anticipation.
