Gemma Arterton has admitted that she would love to play Kate Bush on the big screen.

However the actress is worried about playing a living artist as they may not like her portrayal of them. And, without giving anything away, she revealed that there were quite a few people that she would like to play in a movie.

Speaking to ITN she said: "Kate Bush, maybe, in the future. There are a few people [I'd like to play], but they're still living. I just think it's weird playing someone who's still alive. If they're rock stars they can be quite scary, people like Courtney Love.

"I love Kate Bush and I reckon I could do a good Kate Bush impression but she's still alive - good!"

"I feel like I'm a rock star trapped in an actress's body, I'm just rubbish, but luckily I might play a rock star one time. I don't have to worry about writing music."

Arterton is back on the big screen this week in comedy Tamara Drewe, which is the new movie for The Queen filmmaker Stephen Frears, as the title character.

It's been a good year for the British actress with Clash of the Titans and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time under her belt and she is all set to return to the role of Io in a Titans sequel as In With The Outlaws.

Tamara Drewe is released 10th September.
