Just days after completing a quiet stint in rehab, Gerard Butler was back in the Hollywood scene and heating up the red carpet at an Oscars bash last night.

The actor looked like the picture of health at Vanity Fair's afterparty at the Sunset Tower hotel in West Hollywood—wearing a sharp black tuxedo, with his brown locks brushed back—despite having had a rough few months. 

In late 2011, he was injured in a seriously scary surfing accident. Two months later, Butler checked in to the Betty Ford Center for a three-week rehabilitation treatment.

The 42-year-old thesp's rep didn't specify the reason for the stint, simply telling E! News that Butler had "completeld a successful course of treatment and has returned home in good health." (Various reports claimed he had checked himself into rehab to fend off an increasing dependence on prescription painkillers.)

We're just happy Gerard looks like he's back to being his hunky, healthy and happy self.
