She doesn't really look like a Bond girl, honestly. But she's pretty, I guess.

Fuck that chick is ugly. The bag lady I saw on the way to work this morning was hotter. I least Ill have Daniel Craigs fine ass to look at. But they should give him a hot leading lady. Like Sela Ward!!

Hmmm…kinda got the Rumer Willis look going, don't she? Whatever happened to good, old-fashioned plastic surgery? Get that stuff fixed so we can have pretty people on our magazines!

She is pretty! She kinda looks like a young, brunette version of Molly Ringwald, no? Whoever said she's fat is hysterical. She's young and not gaunt looking. Sheesh!

Oh she DOES look like Molly Ringworm but much prettier! I hope she doesn't sell out and get naked.

She was in that St.Trinians muck with Mischa Barton

Either the body is way too big or the head is way too small. Anyway, she's here for one movie and then forgotten; like most Bond girls.

Gemma is gorgeous, this is not the best picture of her, google her you'll find ones that better show how stunning she is.

115

Nice-looking girl. Gorgeous….I wouldn't use the word. I don't think she's fat. She's just got huge shoulders.

116

obviously a very talented girl because she has only just graduated from rada last year!

She might hurt Daniel Craig! He's too attractive and way too physically fit for a heavy set leading lady. Maybe she'll tone up for the role. She could be gorgeous then, as she has nice features. 15-20 pounds lighter maybe?
sonter says – reply to this

118

hOpefully this is a bad angle, cuz shes not all that, has shoulders like a linebacker never seen a heavy Bond girl b4 maybe daniel craig gained weight too….

Saw her in St. Trinians, she was sexy
Ell says – reply to this

She looks barely legal. Won't it look a bit creepy when Bond is like 40+? Yeah, those movies have done it before, but I thought they were over that and had started to cast a bit more mature women…
Lily says – reply to this

121

htere is nothing gorgeous about her, she looks very average… doesn't she ?
shannon says – reply to this

122

i think she's pretty!! lucky girl was in st. trinians with the sex god that is Russell Brand! I. LOVE. HIM!! Who else thinks he's like sex on legs?? I'm to young to shag him but i'd tap that mate (possibly bang it =P) RUSSELL BRAND IS FUCKING SEX ON LEGS!!!!

Re: Christopher Marc – A G. Richie/Madonna's husband #2 May as well be unknown then. She looks like a living doll and should compliment the older blonde English James Bond.

125

i think she is gorgeous. at first glance i thought she looked like a young molly ringwald. how can anyone say she is fat? that is absolutely ridiculous.

126

WOW SHES NOT PRETTY AT ALL. HAS ANYONE NOTICED THAT THE BOND PEOPLE SINCE SWITCHING UP WITH DANIEL CRAIG NOW CHOOSE MORE SOPHISTICATED BRUNETTES? BUT GEEZ, THERE ARE TONS OF BEAUTIFUL BRUNETTE ACTRESSES OUT THERE. ITS NOT ONLY THAT SHE AND EVA GREEN ARE NOT PRETTY (EVA WAS BETTER LOOKING THAN HER THOUGH) BUT THEY JUST DO NOT LOOK LIKE "BOND GIRL" MATERIAL. DANIEL WAS A GREAT, SEXY CHOICE, BUT NOT THESE WOMEN!

I'd like to see what kind of ugly fucks are making these nasty comments. This girl is enchantingly beautiful and it's SOOOOOOOOOO easy to trash her when YOU can't be seen or identified. Too bad a picture of the bloggers aren't required when making these comments. But I GUARANTEE you, 99% of you assholes couldn't stand the scrutiny. You're all ugly, INSIDE & OUT!

136

She's a kid. 007 women, not 007 jail bait. Very broad sholders, little head she looks odd..
Brooke says – reply to this

137

I cant believe the ammount of people that have called her 'fat'.. I saw her in St Trinians and she is sooo not fat! Americans have a rather unhealthy body image…
Tanya from Down Under says – reply to this

frank frank. #137 Am a Bond fan, an ex model with broad shoulders who works in the entertainment industry. I have the right to share my views just as you have, it's called freedom of speech… If you don't like what you are reading then don’t… You may not have trash this celeb but you trashed all the boggers. How does that make you any different…I didn’t know bloggers had to be film star stunning to express their views on entertainers. The general public are the one's who make mega stars rich. The public have the right to choose who is going to saturate all media and influence themselves and their children…Going by what you stated only beautiful people can comment? Seems I’m one of the safe one's, how about you? Are you pretty enough to blog here? Also let me remind you (a punter as we call you), entertainers have to be able to deal with a lot of criticism and rejection. They know this going into the business…

awww, she's too cute!
buzzkill says – reply to this

142

I hope this is a bad picture and she really isn't this heavy. What happened to the femme fatales of James Bond? Why pick a chubby, moonfaced girl-next-door? Sigh.

She looks kinda manly.

Tanya from Down Under-Too bad you were an"ex-model" for the "BEFORE" of a "BEFORE & AFTER" ugliest cunt ad! Your nasty personality could use a transplant too! The only "down under" you're good at is kissing ass to get ahead instead of any remote hint of talent. Besides, Aussieland is known as the "ASSHOLE OF THE WORLD" and you prove the point!

Not hot. Cute, but definitely not hot. Looks fat, hard to tell. I'll still see the movie tho'.
lillie says – reply to this

148

My advice she Hire a personal trainer for toning (she has shapeless arms), qo on a diet, and she could be truly beatiful. She has nice skin and pretty eyes, but her beauty is hiding under a thin layer of fat. It's a shame to have such potential but tto not have the discipline to achieve it, but I guess what matters in the end is that she is happy with the way she looks.

What's with these Bond girls getting uglier and more generic-looking over the years? Where are the Ursela Andres' these days?
