The US trailer for Tamara Drewe has been released and can be viewed below, enjoy!

Gemma Arterton has revealed she has kept the prosthetic nose from her new film, Tamara Drewe.

The Prince Of Persia star dons a big fake nose to play the title role in Stephen Frears’ new drama, but rather than saying goodbye to it once filming ended, she gave it the pride of place in her bathroom.

“I actually have that nose in my bathroom, framed – it’s great, I just look at it sometimes,” she said.

In the film, based on Posy Simmonds’ comic strip, Tamara returns to her childhood Dorset village as a smouldering femme fatale with a glamorous job and a new nose after leaving as an awkward teenager.

“The nose started off as just being a big nose and not ridiculously big, and then Stephen thought it would be funny to just keep making it bigger and bigger, so I had this big beak,” Gemma recalled.

“It’s amazing how much it changed my face but some people didn’t know it was me wearing it. I went on set and I had the whole get-up on

Gemma Arterton has said that drama school made her serious and helped her become the star she’s today.

“My parents are working class – mum’s a cleaner,” the Daily Express quoted the 24-year-old, who appeared in Quantum Of Solace with Daniel Craig and gritty drama The Disappearance Of Alice Creed, as saying.

“We were quite poor and mum was a single parent. I always liked performing so I did it as a hobby. When I was 16, someone said, ‘You should do it properly’. So I went to performance college in Kent,” she added.

Gemma moved to London at 18 to attend the ‘Royal Academy of Dramatic Art’ on a full scholarship.

“It’s really hard to get into a drama school like RADA, so you take it seriously when you do. At performance college you just muck about,” she said.

Call her the Not-It Girl.

For the past few years, the English actress Gemma Arterton, 24, has been on a trajectory that Hello! magazine dreams are made of: graduation from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts; roles in a gritty Guy Ritchie movie (Rocknrolla) and a frothy Richard Curtis one (Pirate Radio); starring as Elizabeth Bennet and Tess (of the D’Urbervilles) on British TV. Then (drumroll), the break that every starlet fantasizes about: playing Bond girl Strawberry Fields in Quantum of Solace.

Arterton rolled in flagrante with Daniel Craig, and yes, it was good for her. Hollywood and its megabudgets came calling. In Clash of the Titans, she got both a death and a resurrection scene – setting her up for the sequel, which she’ll film next year. In Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, she intoned mystical prophecies like a pro. It appeared that a new It Girl had arisen.
