ARTERTON’S PAINFUL STUNTS ON TITANS SET
GEMMA ARTERTON suffered a number of injuries on the set of upcoming movie CLASH OF THE TITANS - because she insisted on performing her own stunts.
The former Bond girl plays character Io opposite Sam Worthington and Ra lph Fiennes in the big screen remake.
She spent a lot of time shooting scenes on top of a mountain in Tenerif e, Spain and relished the challenge of working in such difficult conditio ns.
Arterton tells Scotland’s Sunday Mail, "We were inside a crater in the volcano so the terrain was gravel and every time I fell over I was covere d in wounds. But I loved doing my own stunts… I remember one day when S am and I could only do an uphill spring four times because we were so bre athless.
"I spent 10 days fighting giant scorpions and I loved that because they were about the size of a house. We used animatronic scorpions, rather th an computer-created things on green screen, so you had a real idea of a h umongous claw - the size of a table - reaching out at you… It was crazy being dressed in these skimpy outfits because in the mornings it was min us 2C. Then, as the day went on, it would get up to 27C. So it started of f freezing cold and then it got scorching. But I could handle it." (KD/WN
