Q. But spending hours with that gag in your mouth must have been awful?
Gemma Arterton: Well, you don’t spend hours in it… you take it out between takes. There were times when it did get a bit much. The mummification scene was hardcore, because I also had the gag in. It felt weird. But it was a really trustworthy situation. I never felt at any point like I was being taken advantage of. I was in such good hands. I could also spit the gag out whenever I wanted to. On the first couple of days, I remember saying: “Yeah, put the gag on tight!” But then I was: “Actually, no…” It tasted horrible as well… of Listerine or something weird. It’s quite funny, though, because I’m kind of a chatty person and the props guys would have to handcuff me and tie me up and sometimes I’d just be chatting and they’d just pop it back in… like: “OK now, shut up!” [Laughs]
