Gemma Arterton reveals her brave response to a Hollywood director who demanded she film an unplanned sex scene


The Bond Girl, 38, shared that she originally signed onto the unnamed project with the knowledge that the sex scene would only be heard off-screen.

Gemma went onto tell The Radio Times that she now avoids roles that require filming sex scenes, but admitted that she would never have been brave enough to refuse the director when she was younger, due to the fear of being 'sacked.' The British actress has transported back to the swinging sixties once again to reprise her role as Blackpool beauty queen Barbara Parker - and the nation's favourite comedian 'Sophie Straw'. It followed Barbara's journey as she went from a Blackpool beauty queen to comedy star, named Sophie Straw while dealing with the male-dominated sitcom industry present in 1960s London.
