Gerard Butler has hinted he had to take drugs to land a job in his youth.

The 300 star studied at Glasgow's School of Law when he was younger. And he was such a success that he was invited for an interview with a prestigious law firm.

However, Butler has hinted that he may have used illegal substances for the interview.

He told Esquire, "I was really out of it when I did the interview. I had done an exam the day before, and we were all a bit of a mess that night. I had to get up the next morning and travel to Edinburgh. I missed the interview, but the firm said, 'No, no, we'll wait for you.'

"So I get on a train and - how should I put this - used a few aids to get up, and by the time I arrived, you couldn't shut me up. I ended up having a great interview and getting the job."

Wonder if he used this method for his auditions?
