February 22, 201312 yr daily mail The British actress graced the Daybreak sofa and was a huge ray of light in her bright striped dress. The 27-year-old wore a white dress with blue horizontal stripes on it by CH Carolina Herrera as she chatted to host Kate Garraway about her new movie. While Gemma was dressed to impress for her early morning appearance her smile complimented her ensemble beautifully. The star wore her hair down with a side parting as she described her new film alongside co-star Jeremy Renner. The good looking pairing play brother and sister in Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. She said: 'Jeremy was the consummate professional and has done all of this stuff before but that was the challenge for me was to become bad and brave and learn how to fight and to do all my stunts. 'Theres always an element of you could get really hurt but a lot of it is fear'. Gemma's character is well known from the children's tale but she warned Kate that the movie definitely is not one for children. After fighting monsters and demons on screen she admitted that in real life she finds domestic crime the most frightening thing. 'Things like we had theses riots in London last year, I just think how society is so fragile. I think that's very scary, and there are many things that scare me but that one in particular.' Hansel and Gretel was published by the famous German siblings in 1812; but Grimm tales lost favour after the end of the second world war after some academics posited that the often bloody tales had been a catalyst for the acceptance of Nazism. However, this view has since been questioned and there's a push in Wilhelm and Jacob's homeland to resurrect the stories - popular with Disney and the rest of the world - in German households.
February 22, 201312 yr Daily Mail With her latest turn in Song For Marion, Gemma Arteton has a chance to show off her great comedic timing. In an exclusive clip for Mail Online the British actress can be seen teaching a trio of pensioners how to be truly authentic rock stars. Unfortunately, the well mannered gentlemen are a long way from being the next Alice Cooper or Ozzy Osbourne. As Gemma tries to unleash their inner rock god the men are finally tempted into having a go at being bad by the promise of receiving a plethora of female groupies. He says to them: These guys are proper ugly but they get laid daily. They have groupies, you're gonna have sex again.' Song for Marion is a music-based British comedy written and directed by Paul Andrew Williams. The film stars Terence Stamp, Gemma Arterton, Christopher Eccleston and Vanessa Redgrave.

Will they be reunited by the death of Marion?
May 2, 201312 yr Daily Mail She was reportedly left devastated when she split from husband Stefano Catelli in February. And now Gemma Arterton has opened up for the first time about the breakdown of her relationship, admitting she's no longer sure whether or not she believes in marriage. Gemma made the admission as she posed for a stunning new shoot in Britain's Marie Claire magazine. Asked about the marriage, Gemma said: 'It was a wonderful time and I have nothing bad to say about it. Even if they don’t last relationships can enrich your life in some way and then you move on to the next part – it’s all part of the process of living.' She added: 'I don’t know how I feel about marriage; whether it’s really necessary. If you are not religious, what does it mean? I’d always thought that – then I got married. And now I still believe in what I believed in when I was a child.' The 27-year-old actress also revealed that while she might not believe in marriage any more, she still subscribes to the ideal that there is one perfect person, or 'soulmate' for everyone. She said: 'I look at certain couples and they’re soulmates, you can just see it. I like the idea that there is a soulmate out there and that you’ve known each other before, like in a past life you were brother and sister or something. I’ve yet to meet that person.' The full interview appears in the June edition of Marie Claire magazine Despite currently being single, Gemma admits that working with 19-year-old Saoirse Ronan on new movie Byzantium brought out her maternal side. She said: 'I’m just so maternal, it’s a bit weird. I’m the mother figure in our family in the typical way that I look after everybody and make sure everybody’s OK. 'I’ve been like that since I was very small, especially with my sister. I have to reign it in a bit, because I’m not her mum.' But Gemma added in the interview that she has a somewhat unusual relationship with her own mother, who took her children to Glastonbury and encouraged family jamming sessions. She said: ‘My mum isn’t a typical mum. She’s individual. At the moment, she’s into clubbing. Last weekend, she went to Area [a superclub in London’s Vauxhall]. I haven’t even been to Area! 'So when you’re a kid, you’re like, "You’re so embarrassing. Why couldn’t you just be like everyone else’s mum and sit at home and drink tea?" '
