There are plenty of pictures of Bond girl Gemma Arterton’s “secret wedding”

fp_5156977_trg_arterton_gem
People Magazine is reporting that English actress Gemma Arterton, 24, was married in a “secret ceremony” in Spain to Italian stunt man Stefano Catelli, 37. Arterton is perhaps best known as the Bond girl in Quantum of Solace who comes to fetch the spy from Bolivia and ends up being seduced by him. Catelli played lead Daniel Craig’s body double, which is where he met lovely Arterton. While these two didn’t tell their guests exactly where the ceremony was to take place until the last minute, I’m thinking they didn’t want to keep it entirely secret. Somehow the paparazzi were tipped off and there are plenty of photos of their private ceremony, held at the ruins of a castle. It looks romantic and special, but it probably wasn’t their intention to keep it “secret.” Here’s People’s report, which doesn’t include how these two met:

In a plot that would have made secret agent 007 proud, former Bond girl Gemma Arterton managed to sneak away and get married in a hilltop retreat over the weekend.

Guests were not even told the location Arterton, 24, and Stefano Catelli, 37, planned to marry when they answered their invitations, but in the hills of southern Spain the elaborate planning paid off. Clutching a bouquet of white roses, the English beauty wore a cream gown and a veil in her auburn hair as she wed in Zuheros in Andalucia June 5, PEOPLE has confirmed.

Witnesses told the Daily Mail that the actress stroked her new husband’s cheek “as they made their vows.” And pictures in the British newspaper show the couple embracing after they said their ‘I dos’ and leaving the open-air ceremony in a vintage convertible.

Catelli, a sales manager for a fashion company, proposed last summer at a music festival in England.

Arterton’s rep would not comment on the wedding, but last month, Arterton described her planned wedding dress to Instyle, saying, “There’s this beautiful scene in [Franco] Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet where she runs out of the bedroom after a night with Romeo, and she’s wrapped up in a sheet. She looks so gorgeous. My wedding gown is kind of like that.”

The Daily Mail has a little more, including from Gemma in which she admitted wrote in her diary just a day after meeting Catelli that he would be her future husband. “It was absolutely instant. I remember going home the night after I met him and writing in my diary that I’d met the man I’m going to marry. I gave that diary entry to him for his birthday two weeks later. But it didn’t freak him out, because he was thinking the same thing. I just really want to spend the rest of my life with him. He’s an amazing man.” It isn’t as sudden as it sounds, as they’ve been engaged for the past year. Congratulations to these two, they look and sound completely in love. Their wedding looks absolutely beautiful, too.

Jake Gyllenhaal: growing out my hair was “almost harder” than acting

Last night was the big London premiere of The Prince of Persia, so Jake Gyllenhaal had to spend his Mother’s Day abroad. Since he’s so close to his parents, I’d imagine that killed him a little. Anyway, Jake looked very nice and not too orange, as opposed to his recent tan-tastic appearance on GQ. The British girls were all over him, too, especially his British costar Gemma Arterton. Arterton was wearing a big, beautiful ball gown that I like, but I would like better for an awards ceremony rather than a premiere. Still, pretty.

Jake gave a bunch of self-deprecating statements on the red carpet, so read into these what you will. Regarding his bulked-up body, Jake said: “My shoulders got so big that sometimes I couldn’t reach to grab things.” Regarding his shoulder-length hair for the film - which wasn’t a wig or a weave – Jake said: “It took me six months to grow it, which was the hardest part of it all. It was harder to grow the hair than do the accent or to swordfight. It’s almost harder than acting! It was shampoo and conditioner – not a two-in-one – because the physique was developed by vigorous scrubbing and rubbing of the scalp with shampoo. That really worked the bicep area and if you really focus on the core while you are doing it, your abs get totally ripped up.”

Gemma Arterton, meanwhile, outed Jake as a man afraid of ostriches, which are in the film: “Jake is scared of ostriches. He ran away and the look on his face is not acting, it’s real!

By the way, I saw this dude’s photo at the premiere, and I just had to put it up. His name is David Gandy and isn’t he just the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen? According to Wikipedia, he’s a British model, not an actor. Sigh…

Bond girl Gemma Arterton engaged to Daniel Craig’s mysterious Italian bodydouble

Gemma Arterton, 23, is perhaps best known as the British Bond girl in Quantum of Solace who comes to fetch Bond from Bolivia and predictably ends up in his bed instead. It turns out that she was working her charms on star Daniel Craig’s body double in between takes, because she’s engaged to be married to a mysterious Italian man known only as Stefano. I wonder if he sat in for Craig for part of that love scene. (This news is from a few days ago, but I thought this was a cute story when I first read it and it slipped my mind amid all the Jackson coverage.)

London (ANI): Bond babe Gemma Arterton has got engaged to Daniel Craig’s body double in Quantum Of Solace, it has emerged. The bombshell reportedly fell in love with an Italian known only as Stefano, during the filming of the James Bond movie, the Sun reports.

The 23-year-old beauty had accepted her man’s proposal at the Download Festival but not made it public. However, now they seem to care less as they celebrated their engagement with a night out with friends and family at a London restaurant.

They were also snapped leaving the same eatery, though they tried not to be clicked together. A sparkling diamond engagement ring was seen on her finger. Gemma had recently broken up with 19-year-old Spanish stuntman Eduardo Muñoz, her horse-riding instructor on the set of the Disney production, ‘Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’.

It sounds like Arterton falls in love with the supporting staff on her films and that she has a preference for dark foreign men. Considering that Stefano was Craig’s body double he’s got to be incredibly buff and good looking. Good for Gemma, but 23 seems a little young to get engaged. Maybe Stefano realizes that and doesn’t want her to slip away.

Arterton is currently working on the film St Trinian’s: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold with Rupert Everett, Colin Firth and Russell Brand. You know that Russell had to make a few passes at her. A sparkly engagement ring isn’t about to deter him.
