Former Bond girl blasts Hollywood female roles
GEMMA Arterton has hit out at the film world for putting women in the "background" - and said that she has been seen "as a piece of ass".
The former Bond girl, who was catapulted to global fame when she landed the role of Agent Fields in Quantum Of Solace, said she had almost been tempted to walk off film sets in the past because of her mistreatment.
The Rada-trained actress 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 24-year-old, who starred in this year's blockbusters Clash Of The Titans and Prince Of Persia, said that now she is established, she wants to work with people who respect her.
She added: "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."
