Gemma Arteron has admitted that filming her new movie The Disappearance of Alice Creed was 'demanding stuff'
In the J Blakeson directed movie Arterton stars as a daughter of a rich business man who is kidnapped and held to ransom.
Whilst filming the brutal kidnap movie the actress reveals that he had to keep reassuring people on the set that she was ok.
In an interview with Digital Spy Arterton said: "It was demanding stuff and there weren't many girls on set.
"It could have felt really awkward, but it was actually quite weird because there was so much attention on making me feel okay that it felt like I was in control.
"I was going, 'It's alright everyone, chill out, it's fine', and I was trying to make people laugh and trying to diffuse the situation.
"All these guys, especially J [Blakeson, writer-director], were going, 'Sorry Gemma, I wrote you this part! Actually, I'm the one responsible'.
"When I was cast in this that's what I agreed to do so I just did it. You don't want to cause a fuss."
This is a much smaller project for Arterton after finding huge box office success with Clash of the Titans, which has topped the U.S. and UK box office in recent weeks.
And she's back to the blockbuster this summer as she's all set to star in Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time, which is based on the hit computer game.
