Arterton 'engaged to Craig body double'

[CaptainLewis]

Gemma Arterton is dating a body double for her James Bond co-star Daniel Craig, it has been claimed.

The pair are said to have met while filming Bond's last outing Quantum Of Solace together, Reveal reports.

A friend said: "It's so cute, they are really loved up and it's great to see Gemma looking so happy.

"He was Daniel's body double and there was clearly chemistry from the start. They've been together for a few months now and it's going really well."

A spokeswoman for Arterton told Metro: "We don't comment on our clients' private lives."

The Bond girl reportedly split from stuntman Eduardo Munoz last December.

I'd like to see a picture of this guy.The Craig double they had for CR looked nothing like him

[Mazer Rackham]

Yeah. A body double doesn't mean he looks like Craig. He probably only resembles Craig from a distance. A long distance

Ben Cooke, the stuntman for CR wore a *wig* FCOL-he was bald-and he STILL looked nothing like Craig.Typical

[Dr. No]

Yep, she was the one who thought Craig looked like her dad And with all likelihood the guy looked nothing like Craig.EON has an uncanny knack for hiring stunt doubles who look nothing like their actors

I read that Craig's head was CGIed onto a stuntman's head during many of the stunts - the boat jumping scenes, for example.

Bond girl Gemma Arterton celebrates her 'secret' engagement to 007 body double

As a Bond girl Gemma Arterton cavorted with the muscular Daniel Craig in front of millions on the big screen.

But it wasn't Daniel that the 23-year-old had her eye on - but his body double.

She and her fiancé - known simply as Stefano - have enjoyed a low-key relationship, shunning showbiz parties, but last night they went public as they celebrated their engagement.

Flashing her ring: Bond girl Gemma Arterton held her secret engagement party to Daniel Craig's body double last night

Girl's best friend: Gemma's sparkling diamond engagement ring

Gemma and the Italian dressed in matching red for the party at the Sun & 13 Gantons brasserie in Soho.

They avoided being pictured together, but Gemma's joy was clear as she flashed her sparkling three-diamond engagement ring.

Family and friends arrived loaded with gifts as they helped the two celebrate.

The pair met when filming the latest 007 movie, Quantum of Solace, and are said to have been immediately attracted to each other.

Celebrating: Gemma and her fiancé, stunt double Stefano

Off she goes: Gemma couldn't stop smiling, even after a long night of celebrating

A source told Reveal magazine: 'It's so cute, they are really loved up and it's great to see Gemma looking so happy. They met on the set of Quantum Of Solace.

'He was Daniel's body double and there was clearly chemistry from the start. They've been together for a few months now and it's going really well.'

This is not the first time Gemma has been romantically linked to a fellow cast member.

The British beauty met Spanish stuntman Eduardo Munoz last year when he was taught her to ride a horse for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

Despite not speaking the same language he soon moved to live with her, but the relationship broke down because Gemma thought it was getting too serious.

A source said: 'Gemma is 22 and Eduardo is only 19 - they were too young to settle down. She says she doesn't have time to commit to a relationship. Eduardo is devastated.

'His English improved but Gemma told me when they could talk to each other properly they had very little in common.'

Gemma’s career has been going from strength to strength in recent years and it was recently revealed that she is to take on the role of Cathy in a new movie version of Emily Bronte’s classic novel Wuthering Heights.

The role of brooding lover Heathcliff will be played by 21-year-old Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick.

Topics moved and merged

[katied]

Eh, he's not that great.

[Mazer Rackham]

What? How is he Craig's double? This guy kind of looks like Bond. He is sure to be sacked now his photo is out there!

I could see how they might cast this tosser as Bond, he even looks like his arm is in a sling ala Craig. But personally I don't think he has the right look for Bond. Could this guy be a hold over from Brozza's day?

[oscartheman]

This will not last she is one of those actresses who falls in love on every set.Must say something about Craig that she didn't find him worth a go
Just wait by the next movie she is in she will forget all about double oh body double

[katied]

Must say something about Craig that she didn't find him worth a go

Ouch. But it's probably true.Then again,she's not exactly a prize herself.

He looks like a Las Vegas magician.

He looks like a Las Vegas magician.

Actually, I was thinking David Arquette,but I can see the magician thing,too!

[Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry]

He does look a little like Lance Burton.

[katied]

Lance Burton or David Arquette, yes. Daniel Craig, no. EON have a strange concept of stuntmen-they always hire people that look nothing like the actor they are doubling for.
