Gemma Arterton has admitted that she is an "annoying" drunk.
The Clash of the Titans actress said that she has now banned herself from drinking alcohol because she is a natural extrovert and does not require anything to make her more sociable.
She told The Scotsman: "I don't drink. I don't really like myself when I'm p*ssed. I'm really annoying because I act like I'm pretty p*ssed all the time, just in general life. And people catch up to me when they drink."
Arterton went on to say that her outgoing nature extends to her work, and insisted that she had no problems tackling her nude scene in upcoming kidnap thriller The Disappearance of Alice Creed.
She said: "If it's (nudity) relevant I don't really mind it. It's not like I'm going, 'Let's get my kit off'. When my character p*sses in the bucket, that was the worst thing to film. It was degrading for everyone. But that had to happen. I didn't really pee, though. But I wouldn't just get my kit off for no reason, like Halle Berry in Swordfish. I know she got paid a lot of money for it, but still."
The 24-year-old also praised fellow Brit in Hollywood Keira Knightley for not letting fame go to her head, adding: "Keira, she's the same age as me, she's just like another girl. She shows that you can do all those films, be that successful, and you don't have to be a w**ker. And if you are a w**ker, you won't get to that level because people won't want to work with you."
