Gerard Butler doesn't have any regrets about his acting-related injuries.

The 55-year-old actor has suffered lots of bumps and bruises on film sets during his time in Hollywood - but Gerard doesn't look back with any regrets.

He told PEOPLE: "I've been shot by bullets, casings, explosions. A whole camera rig once fell down on Hilary Swank and I..."

Gerard has even been "rushed to hospital" as a result of acting-related injuries. However, that hasn't discouraged Gerard from starring in more action movies and performing his own stunts.

He said: "It's awesome. I wouldn't change it for the world."

The actor has also recalled Hilary Swank, in 2007's 'P.S. I Love You', and Angelina Jolie, in 2003's 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life', suffering on-set mishaps.

Gerard shared: "I've scarred Hilary Swank on the head ... she has a scar. Almost shot Angelina Jolie in the face. I was coming down, hanging upside down. I had to fire a gun, but I had no control over where this thing went. So I was just firing and I just missed it."
