Bond girl, Gemma Arterton was born with an extra finger on each hand and a "crumpled ear".

The St. Trinians beauty underwent treatment as a baby to have her extra digits removed, which involved having the sixth fingers "tied" so they fell off naturally - leaving her with small lumps on the side of her hands.

The 22-year-old - who stars in forthcoming James Bond movie Quantum of Solace - also had an operation on her ear to give it a more defined shape.

She tells British magazine InStyle, "I was born with lots of deformities. Including an extra finger on each hand and a crumpled ear that has to be erased from pictures."

Now, thers some information I never knew.

Oh, how odd.

Rather fitting for a Bond girl, in fact. Fleming's Bond girls often had little oddities like that.

Too bad she was bimboish enough to operate them away. Six fingred hands would have worked out for her in the bussiness.

That's right; loads of babies make bad decisions (?)

Odd topic for a story by this InStyle, but there you go!

There are too many arguments against you to list.

That does make her the perfect Fleming Bond girl. Amazing

Fields to Bond "Do you want to see what I can do with my little fingers?"

Bond "Which ones?"

I agree with you iexpectu2die, Gemma Arterton is not bimboish, so Niwram, think about what you say before you speak!!!

I wonder if those digits were superficial. I'd find it gross if they were perfectly normal but they had them removed anyway, especially if it was in any way painful.

Poor girl.

Absolutely hilarious. I just laughed out loud at that.
