Gerard Butler recently got very touchy-feely with his The Bounty Hunter costar Jen Aniston -- and there's photographic proof.

In a buzzed-about rearview photo from March 27, Butler tightly grabbed Aniston's bottom while greeting fans on the River Seine in Paris.

During a Friday appearance on syndicated radio show "Johnjay and Rich," Butler, 40, joked about the bootylicious snapshot.

"I'm a bit of a bad boy," the actor said. He then demurred, "by the way, I'm still not sure my hand was really on her butt. I think that's just the way the camera was angled," before breaking into laughter. "I actually haven't seen [the photo]."

His interviewers weren't buying it. "[Your finger] looks implanted inside the crease!" one co-host protested.

The star also continued to deny any romantic involvement with Aniston, 41. "If I was going out with Jennifer, I'd be more than happy to say I'm going out with Jennifer -- it's just not true."

Yet a Butler pal counters in the new Us Weekly that the flirty costars have been "hooking up for a while." Another source confirms that the pair slept together during her February birthday blowout in Mexico.

An Aniston pal explains: "she'd like it to be more, [but] they're friends with benefits."

A rep for Aniston tells Us that the "friends with benefits" label is "crude and incorrect. They were not flirty in Paris."

    Jennifer Aniston is looking great at 41! When she was shooting bikini scenes in Hawaii recently for her latest film "Just Go For It" she looked better in her swimwear than her co-star Brooklyn Decker - who is 23 years old and a swimwear model. Well done Jen! celebrityjournal.org

    wow,gerald butler is becoming a pervert.

    If gerald was playing around it was definetly in bad tast and am sure jennifer would not have been happay about that type of guy stunt however how could she do anthing at the time of a photgraph without drawing attention.... How do you all know that it is not Jen who would not want to have anything more than friends even with benefits given his reputation???? Why on earth do you guys alwys blame Jen.

    u guys are nuts. that dude is NOT gay. no way.

    SPELL-CHECK...you must be bi or gay to *high five gerard*. You just had to pick out the tiniest of imperfections because that's all you've got. Some people are in a hurry when they post and don't really care much for perfection in grammar. You've got to be an ass wipe to point out the minutia. Maybe you're sensitivities have been grossly offended by the obvious accuracy and shrewdness of these brilliant posts. If you don't cut it out, I'll just have to provide you with evidence of my quick silver mentality.

    Can some of you please learn when and how to use the words "women" and "woman" in your sentences (ms. congeniality, pauline, debbie). - Thank you ...on a side note - *HIGH FIVE GERARD*!

    ms. congeniality, you are dead on accurate. But I'd also like to add that John Mayor is also prejudiced against black woman. He said that he thought Jen wished it were 1998 because she wasn't technologically savvy enough for him. Then he made the statement that he would never even kiss a black woman. Maybe he wishes it was the 1950's when segregation existed. What a fool, he hit the trifecta, hypocritical, ignorant and stupid. Yes, and I also agree with what you said about Gerard. I think he's stupid enough to hit the trifecta someday.

  • April 06, 2010 - 12:18pm THE REALITY

    I have seen the other photos and his fingers are curled, like a hang ten and it was an unconscious gesture. His is NOT feeling her up even though the picture makes it look like that.

  • April 06, 2010 - 7:20am ms. congeniality

    John Mayer swings both ways, He dissed both Jen and Jessica. Jen recently went on David Letterman. In Davids monologue he made fun of John's obsessive twittering. Then Jen comes out and they briefly joked about twittering. Jen one up'd John. She can't do anything about Gerard because they're promoting a movie together and I'm sure her PR told her what she can and can't do. Butt head knows this, that's why he can get away with it.

    John Mayer swings both ways. He dissed Jen and Jessica, he also doesn't like woman. Gerard is the same way. If a guy swings both ways, you can count on the fact that he is most likely gay and is trying his hardest not to be. There isn't anything wrong with being gay but there is most definitely something wrong with disrespecting woman.

  • April 05, 2010 - 11:05pm GERALD BUTER RAPES WOMEN WITH HIS FINGER - PERVERT!!

    Gerald Butler is a pervert. But, why would ANY WOMAN allow a man to rape her, in public, with his finger? Maybe John Mayer could answer this question.

  • April 05, 2010 - 10:47pm TO THETRUTH

    the truth world say , GET A LIFE! YOU ARE PROBABLY A F N FAKE KHATE LUVER! CRAZY!

    This weeks USweekly page 16" What the stars said this week" Here it is word for word........"We were with people, and he comes to me,'OK, here's the 60 bucks for the other night.' I mean, at least come with, like, a respectable sum of money!" Sophia Vegara, on Gerard Butler repaying a debt to her - and accidentally making her seem like a h00ker. This confirms it, he is an insensitive guy who doesn't seem to like woman.

  • April 05, 2010 - 8:49pm Pauline

    lol...This will teach him a lesson not to demean woman for his own sake and to spare his own gay reputation. We woman everywhere should not put up with crap from men EVER!!!

  • April 05, 2010 - 8:42pm Diane

    How pathetic of him to use Jen to prove that he's not gay. Not only is he gay but he's an assh0le as well.

  • April 05, 2010 - 8:38pm Sophia

    There's another article up that says Jen and Gerard are ..................F--K Buddy's. It goes on to say "is this how you would act towards a male friend" Another desperate attempt to throw us off track that Gerard is indeed GAY

  • April 05, 2010 - 8:20pm Lindsay Johnson Lloyd

    I think he is SEXY!

  • April 05, 2010 - 7:33pm marc

    There goes monique, another jen crazy who has to bash angelina jolie as soon as something comes out about this one to get the attention of of their precious Rachel. Enough already- this bad decision has not a d@mn thing to do with angelina jolie.
