Meet NYC's MVP

He’s said to be dating Jennifer Aniston — his co-star on “The Bounty Hunter” — but on the set of the movie in New York, Gerard Butler gave another “actress” plenty of attention.

Erica, who works at Midtown’s upscale strip joint Rick’s Cabaret, was paid $2,000 with three other women to play exotic dancers during a scene shot at a Bronx jiggle joint. The Kazakhstan-born blonde says that most of the female extras on the set were all over Butler during the three-day shoot, trying to strike up a conversation with the actor or take a photo. And although Erica says she found Butler irresistible — “I love his eyes and his beard” — and that she often caught the actor staring at her, she kept her distance.

Gerard Butler, all dressed up for the London premiere of “The Bounty Hunter,” flirted with a pair of scantily clad strippers who shot scenes for the movie. “I love his eyes and his beard,” says Erica.

“We didn’t really talk in the beginning,” she says.

But on the second day, when, perhaps not coincidentally, Aniston was not on-set, Butler sprang into action. He followed Erica outside during a break and asked, “How come everybody is talking to me but you?”

“I guess I was playing hard to get when all the other girls were trying to talk to him,” she says.

MEANWHILE ... TEAM ANISTON SCORES!

Erica resisted his advances, and says, “I really think he was going to ask me out if I didn’t run away.”

Erica, asked to be referred to by her stage name, is counting on seeing the hunk again. Several girls who worked on the film claim Butler promised to come visit them at work once “The Bounty Hunter” hits theaters this week.

If that meeting happens, it will be just another day’s work for Butler. Ever since he shot to fame in the movie “300” in 2007, the 40-year-old Scot has been going through the ladies at such a clip, he’s become better known for his flirtatious ways than that other thing he does, which, according to his bio found on the Internet, is acting.

The 6-foot-2 hunk splits his time between Scotland, LA and New York, where he owns a $2.6 million penthouse on West 19th Street and was recently spotted checking out the digs at 45 Bond St.

When he’s not sweet-talking women on set, Butler likes to hit the town. On March 1, he attended Cosmopolitan’s “Fun Fearless Men of 2010” party, where he was spotted chatting up magazine staffers. He then rolled to downtown hot spot Butter, accompanied by his wingman, “Twilight” hottie Kellan Lutz, who is 16 years his junior.

According to one major Manhattan night-life operator, Butler plays it fairly low-key. He doesn’t drink, and he “comes in by himself, usually with a buddy. He’s not an entourage guy.”
