Wedding bells? Arterton hinted her character might marry batchelor Bond

She saw off 1,500 contenders to star alongside Daniel Craig in the role of Agent Fields and with her glamorous makeover complete, looks every inch a grown-up Hollywood star.

Gemma ignited speculation her character will marry Bond in the latest installment after she revealed the pair had been filming scenes in a honeymoon suite.

After letting the hint slip during a US television interview, she quickly added: "I think I've said too much."

Shaken: Bond attempts to keep his cool while under fire

The parts of the film were shot in South America, and Craig, 40, was recently spotted filming his own dramatic stunts in Tuscany.

All this globetrotting has proved a significant change of pace from Gemma, who just last year was an unknown actress making ends meet working in a beauty shop in London's Covent Garden.

She has quickly chalked up impressive roles on her CV, including an appearance in Stephen Poliakoff's Capturing Mary and playing the role of Rosaline in Love's Labour's Lost at the Globe Theatre in London.

Nice handy work: Bond girl Olga Kurylenko gets a warm greeting

Of her sky-rocketing career, she has said: "If I'm honest, I still feel like a student. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing here.

"At this point in my career I didn't expect to be working as an actress at all, never mind having such a high-profile roles.

"I still pinch myself. I feel that someone is going to come up to me and say: 'Excuse me, who do you think you are, and why do you think you deserve this?'

Bond on a wire: Craig plunges onto the speeding bus on set in Siena, Italy

Bond's away: Daniel Craig is making sure his stunts do the talking, as he leaps from a tall building - with the aid of a wire - during filming for The Quantum of Solace in Italy

She remains reluctant to talk about her long-term ambitions.

She has said: "Really, I'm not in a position to even think about what might be. Now I should concentrate on being grateful that I can pay the rent for a while."

But the offers are already rolling in thick and fast. Tess, who recently wrapped work on Guy Ritchie's upcoming gangster movie RocknRolla, is now set to play the lead role in a BBC production of Tess Of The D'Urbervilles.

The Quantum Of Solace, also starring Dame Judi Dench as M, is scheduled for release on October 31.
