lady gaga life
For those who only know Gemma Arterton as the goddess-like beauty in "Clash of the Titans," her move from mini-togas to "Tamara Drewe" hot pants hardly seems a big deal. But donning those skimpy shorts for Stephen Frears' new comedy terrified the 24-year-old British bombshell, especially when wardrobe just kept making them shorter and shorter.
"I would never, ever wear anything like that in real life. I wanted the nice, conservative culottes. But for the punch lines to work those shorts had to be really tight and really offensive," Arterton told CTV.ca during the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. Luckily, Frears' final pick from the hot pants Arterton screen-tested inspired one of the most memorable movie entrances in recent years. It also gave Arterton a chance to play the first "real" woman of her career.
Inspired by Posy Simmonds' graphic novel and comic strip for The Guardian newspaper (which ran between 2005 and 2007), Frears' black comedy unfolds at a writers' retreat in England's idyllic West Country. Once an ugly teen with a big nose, Tamara undergoes plastic surgery and returns to the country village of her childhood as a stunning, celebrated columnist.
