At school, Gemma Arterton did not look different from other girls, except that she dressed poorly, because there was not enough money for anything. Studying did not fascinate her, but she gladly went to acting classes at school.

Gemma dreamed of becoming a famous actress, but her parents were not enthusiastic about her desire, did not believe in their daughter's talent. When Arterton was sixteen, she dropped out of school to go to college. True, the stay in it was short-lived.
