Butler was taken to Stanford University Medical Center, but he had to be convinced by movie bosses to seek medical assistance. “I was going to go back that day. I was actually in the ambulance and wanted to go back, which was a little crazy, but it is pretty addictive. This was maybe one of the few times that the reports were not exaggerated.” — PTI
