Hollywood star says her glamorous image is all show
Saturday, 5 June 2010
Gemma Arterton claims she’s not really as sexy and sophisticated as she is on our cinema screens.
The British beauty, 24, laughs off being typecast as the ‘sexy female lead’.
‘I’ve never thought of myself that way,’ says Gemma, who played a Bond Girl in 2008.
‘I suppose what has helped me win parts is that I’m good at projecting a certain amount of attitude and the sexiness flows from that.
‘But deep down I still feel geeky.’
Gemma was raised in Kent and says people are often surprised at her regional accent.
‘People expect me to be more posh in person,’ she tells S Magazine.
‘They expect me to speak a certain way and then when they hear my normal accent they grimace.’
Gemma stars in Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time with Jake Gyllenhaall.
