NEW YORK - Hollywood actor Gerard Butler is said to be smitten by Kazakhstani billionaire Goga Ashkenazi.
The Scottish actor, linked last year to Jennifer Aniston, has been in regular contact with Ashkenazi, a close friend of Prince Andrew, after they met at the Cannes Film Festival last month.
“Gerard was spotted chatting up Goga at a party in Cannes and they exchanged numbers,” nypost.com quoted a source as saying.
Ashkenazi, an Oxford graduate, has previously dated Italian Formula 1 boss Flavio Briatore and recently ended a relationship with Kazakh oil billionaire Timur Kulibayev.
