    Gerard Butler has opened up about *that* selfie photo, and how he felt when he saw Bradley Cooper wearing a similar suit at the Wimbledon Mens Singles Final on Sunday

    Gerard Butler and Bradley Cooper's Wimbledon bromance has been the talk of Twitter since Sunday's mens singles final – so how did the A-list actors feel about the reaction they've received? Gerard is surprisingly baffled.

    While Bradley Cooper has already returned to New York, Gerard Butler attended a star-studded dinner hosted by Novak Djokovic in London last night, where he was cornered by reporters on his Wimbledon date.

    Gerard and Bradley were trending worldwide on Twitter within minutes of their arrival as excited viewers commented on their almost-matching powder blue suits and the moment they were caught taking a 'selfie' picture on Bradley's phone.

    Gerard said last night: 'I don't know what you're talking about. I don't go on the internet, so I don't know what [a 'selfie'] is.'

    The star then went on to joke about the duo's matching suits, saying: 'Bradley and I are friends. [The matching outfits] was coincidence. It was a little embarrassing. We didn't mention it at the time.

    'We gave each other a hug, then looked down and went, 'Oh, s**t'.'

    Jeremy Piven was also in attendance at last night's Foundation Gala dinner, and said: 'I love both of them, they're both great guys and they appreciate the attention.

    'They were wearing powder blue outfits, they looked like they were groomsmen – they are the dream.'

    It happens to the best of us.
