Want to work with people who don’t see me as a piece of ass: Gemma Arterton
September 16th, 2010 - 6:34 pm ICT by ANILondon, Sept 16 (ANI): Actress Gemma Arterton has slammed the film industry for putting women in the ‘background’.
The former Bond girl said that she had almost been tempted to walk off film sets in the past because of mistreatment.
The 24-year-old said she had read too many of ‘the same’ scripts, in which women languished in the shadows or were simply there to help the male lead.
The actress, who starred in this year’s blockbusters ‘Clash Of The Titans’ and ‘Prince Of Persia’, criticised the ‘t**ts out there (in the film world) who don’t deserve to be in the positions they’re in and treat people like s**t’.
‘I’ve nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don’t want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do,’ the Telegraph quoted her as telling GQ magazine.
Arterton said that now she is established, she wants to work with people who respect her.
‘I’m looking at working with people I get on with, that respect me, that don’t just see me as a piece of ass. Which I have experienced as well,’ she said. (ANI)
