The Paisley-born 300 star's character in RocknRolla, known as 'One-Two', is the sole Glaswegian in director Guy Ritchie's production.
The film, which also stars Thandie Newton and Gemma Arterton, is being hailed as a return to form for Ritchie.
Butler asked Ritchie for more character detail but was told: "Choose one of your own, but make him mean business."
Butler explained: "So I based him on Ferguson.
He's about the hardest Glaswegian I know."
