Extrovert Arterton doesn’t need booze

Gemma Arterton is an “annoying” drunk. The ‘Clash of the Titans’ actress has banned herself from consuming alcohol because she is a natural extrovert and doesn’t need booze to make her more outgoing.

She told The Scotsman website: “I don't drink. I don't really like myself when I'm drunk. I'm really annoying because I act like I'm pretty drunk all the time, just in general life. And people catch up to me when they drink."

Her outgoing nature extends to her work, and the British actress is seen naked in upcoming film ‘The Disappearance of Alice Creed’.

Gemma was comfortable taking her clothes off in front of the cameras, although she admits she will only strip on screen if it is crucial to the part, unlike some Hollywood actresses.

She said: "If it's relevant I don't really mind it. It's not like I'm going, ‘Let's get my kit off.' I wouldn't just get my kit off for no reason, like Halle Berry in ‘Swordfish’. I know she got paid a lot of money for it, but still."

While 24-year-old Arterton is disdainful about Berry, she is full of praise for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actress Keira Knightley.

She said: "Keira, she's the same age as me, she's just like another girl. She shows that you can do all those films, be that successful, and you don't have to be rude to people."
