Soccer Extreme : Gemma, 24, revealed she had been tempted to walk off film sets because of the way she was treated.
The ex-Bond girl said she had read too many scripts in which women languished in the shadows - or were simply there to help the male lead.
Gemma, who also starred in Prince of Persia, added that some people in the film world treated women "like s***".
She said: "I'm looking at working with people that respect me, that don't just see me as a piece of ass."
The timing of her comments is odd - given she wears very little in her latest film Tamara Drewe.
