Posing In Suspenders And High Heels, Bond Girl Gemma Arterton insists...'I Look Really Average' By JAMES TAPPER 28th February 2010
She won an army of male admirers when she played Strawberry Fields in the hit 007 film Quantum Of Solace. But Gemma Arterton [Pic in URL] thinks she was ‘not hot enough’ to play a Bond girl and that she is ‘really average’.
Her fans may disagree – and these pictures of her posing in stockings, stilettos and a coat for the latest edition of GQ magazine make her look anything but plain.
The outfit is reminiscent of her chase scene through the streets of Panama with Bond actor Daniel Craig, when she wore nothing except a mac and boots.
But, in an interview with GQ magazine, she said: ‘In comparison to many actresses I think I’m really average. When I got the Bond film there was this big hoo-ha about me not being hot enough. I have to say, I agree. I don’t think I’m in that realm.’
'Not hot enough': But Gemma Arterton has no qualms about posing in her underwear for GQ magazine. She compared herself to fellow Bond girl Olga Kurylenko, who also starred in Quantum Of Solace.
‘There are some really beautiful actresses, like Olga Kurylenko, who find it difficult,’ she said. ‘It’s frustrating for her but she’s so beautiful that it’s like someone having a massive nose: you are going to take that into consideration when you’re casting her. Whereas I can change my look.’
Miss Arterton’s claim to have ordinary looks is not shared by the film industry’s casting directors. She has starred as saucy schoolgirl Kelly in the two recent St Trinian’s movies.

Yeah..average...that’s the ticket.
She was killed much to early in that movie...
Unfortunately!
I’d settle for that kind of average any day of the week!
Reminds me of how much I miss women in garter belts and stockings. Shows my age.
Not Guilty

It's the only way to be sure.....
It ain't the salad, it's the dressing you put on it!
I’d like to see her “...big hoo hah...”.
lose the granny panties...
I wondered where my curtains disappeared to.
She was certainly better looking (in that movie) than Kurylenko. The bad guys are always killing off the wrong female leads.
Well, I guess that’s what makes them bad guys.
If that specimen is “average”, I’d like to see above average.
I know I am
Now that ain’t average! Thanks for the pic post!
