Gemma Arterton Gets Serious Treading The Boards!

So, Gemma Arterton has finally decided she is fed up of being called a ‘piece of a**’ by Hollywood’ and has chosen to ditch all the glitz and glamour and focus on a more serious role in the theatre!
The 24 year old is currently starring in The Master Builder at the Almeida Theatre in London, in a which she tackles a more grittier role than usual as Hilde Wangel, who Gemma describes as ‘a bewitching young woman, who arrives to collect a decade-old debt from Halvard Solness.
Seems a far cry from Quantum of Solace, but the Bond girl assisted: “I read so many scripts and they’re all the same.”
She adds: “Either the character is just someone to be in the background or they’re there to help the man, to be the love interest, like I’ve done in Prince Of Persia or Clash Of The Titans.”
Now don’t get me wrong, I loved seeing Gemma strutting her stuff in her hot pants in Tamara Drewe and I loved her in her school uniform in St Trinian’s, but I guess there’s comes a point in a actor’s career where change is needed. So good on her and I wish her the best of luck!
But I’ll also look forward to seeing her in the forth coming Men in Black 3.
Looks like the big Hollywood roles do have some attraction after all.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time debuted in the US this weekend and one of the film’s stars literally debuted in Tinsletown along with it.
Sir Ben Kingsley, who plays the role of Nizam in Prince of Persia, had his very own star unveiled on Hollywood Boulevard‘s world famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. Hollywood elites including actor Bruce Willis and producer Jerry Bruckheimer gathered for the unveiling.
At the ceremony Sir Ben said: “Standing here today amongst you is one of the many things I thought growing up in England that would never happen to me and it has and I’m thrilled.” He also said it was a privilege to be what he called “an enduring part of the architecture of this extraordinary city.”
Next up for the English actor is a comedic film called A Birder’s Guide to Everything, slated to be released in 2011.
Cheers to making your dreams come true Sir Ben! Congratulations!
