Butler remains true to Scottish roots

“To see anybody being influenced by another culture is a fate worse than death – especially to speak in an American accent,’ the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

He added: “I was doing an interview about a year and a half ago in London and I said the word ”soccer” instead of ”football” and for the rest of the interview I could hardly breathe. My face was so red. Whenever I think of it I start to panic.”

Butler also fears sharing similar fate to the Scottish singer Sheena Easton,who was hit with bottles at a concert in Glasgow in 1990 for her American brogue.
