"I was thinking they're going to give it to a really big film star. I really couldn't believe it. It was a real shock," Danesh told GMTV.
He will join Jill Paice as Scarlett O'Hara in the Trevor Nunn production which opens in London in April.
Gone with the Wind was published in 1936 and turned into a film in 1939.
Butler was played by Clark Gable in the movie, and Danesh admitted it is a challenging role to take on.
"He's a rogue, a rough diamond, and it's a character that I'm overwhelmed to say that I'm playing in the production.
"I only found out I got the role four days ago. It was a really coveted role and Sir Trevor Nunn is probably the greatest living stage director," he said.
