English actress Gemma Arterton, accepts the fact that she is not apt to be the Bond Girl. She shares this view with many other actresses.

Arterton, who has acted in 'Quantum Of Solace", calls herself an average looking girl.

She says, “In comparison to many actresses I think I"m really average - when I got the Bond film there was this big hoo-ha about me not being hot enough, I have to say I agree - I don"t think I"m in that realm."

The actress however, is not all negative about her looks. She explains that her simple look gives her an added advantage over the other actresses.

“I think in a way it might have helped me along - there are some really beautiful actresses like (Bond co-star) Olga Kurylenko who find it difficult.It"s frustrating for her but she"s so beautiful that it"s like someone having a massive nose: you are going to take that into consideration when you"re casting her. Whereas I can change my look: I can look plain or I can be all dolled up," she added.
