Gerard, who stars in the new Lara Croft film, hadn't heard from his dad since his parents split when he was a boy.
But a shock call from his father asking him to visit him in Toronto, Canada, saw he and Gerard, then 19, re-united.
His dad died in 1992.
Gerard was born in 1969, youngest of three, but while he was a boy his dad disappeared after the family emigrated to Canada.
Gerard, 34, said: "When I was five months old we went to Montreal as my dad was sent there by his employers.
"Suddenly one day we moved back to Paisley and I didn't see him for 15 years until he phoned.
"I then spent four summers with him."
