Gemma Arterton Bares All In Racy Orpheline Scene

Gemma Arterton bares all as she strips off for passionate lesbian love scene with co-star Adèle Exarchopoulos in racy French drama Orpheline...

She made her name as the beautiful but ultimately doomed Bond girl Strawberry Fields in 2008 blockbuster Quantum of Solace.

But an openly expressed desire to enhance her artistic integrity by signing up for smaller, independent film roles recently led to Gemma Arterton featuring in steamy French language drama Orpheline.

Playing Tara, a convicted bank robber who is adjusting to life on the outside world after seven years behind bars, the British actress, 32, strips off for an intimate lesbian sex-scene with co-star Adèle Exarchopoulos, who plays screen-lover Sandra.

The protracted scene closes in on Tara as she peels off her shirt and engages in a passionate kiss with feisty Sandra after gifting her with an extravagant necklace - part of her bid to seduce the young cashier into assisting her latest money-making scheme.

Removing her underwear, she reclines next to her French lover on the bed, where they discuss Tara's plan to rig the betting system at a local racetrack.

'I need you,' she urges after asking an incredulous Sandra how much cash the racetrack money shuttles carry.
