Gerard Butler talks old hook-up, new girlfriend

Ann Oldenburg, USA TODAY
Gerard Butler and model Madalina Ghenea arrive at the 2013 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Graydon Carter at Sunset Tower on Feb. 24.

Gerard Butler is kissing and telling.

In interviews to promote his upcoming film Olympus Has Fallen, Butler is setting the record straight about his new girlfriend and an old fling.

On Howard Stern's radio show Monday, Butler was asked about having slept with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville, who is also Eddie Cibrian's ex.

Last year, Glanville revealed to Andy Cohen that Butler was the most famous person she had ever been with, and rated him an "11" on a scale of 1 to 10.

But when a photographer asked Butler about it, his response was, "Who's Brandi Glanville?"

When Howard Stern asked the actor on Monday what exactly happened, Butler explained that he had met Glanville at a beach party and the two "had a little fun" one afternoon … but he never learned her last name.

Fast forward to January 2012, Butler told Stern, "I'm walking down the street and this pap … says 'Brandi Glanville says you're great in bed!' ''

He goes on, "You know what I said: 'Who's Brandi Glanville?' because one, I didn't know her last name," he added laughing, "and two, I didn't know she was a celebrity and I didn't know she was going to ... tell people about it!"

Butler, 43, has now moved on to Romanian model Madalina Ghenea, and he shared the story of their first meeting with Extra's Jerry Penacoli.

"I met her here in New York, and we hung out all night, didn't even kiss, tried on my hat collection. I said, 'I'm coming to visit you in Milan,' and three days later, I was at her door in Milan. She was like, 'Whoa!' "

Is she The One? Is he ready to settle down? He smiled, "She's amazing. I'm having fun. I'm very lucky, she's a great girl."
