Bond girl Gemma Arterton reveals birth defect details

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."
