Gemma's latest role in fantasy thriller Byzantium sees her play a bloodsucking vampire called Clara, who raises daughter Eleanor, played by Saoirse Ronan, alone.
The screen beauty was inspired by her own mother Sally-Anne, who was raised her and her sister Hannah as a single parent, and she says her performance is a 'love letter' to her mum.
She said: 'It was a love letter to my mother. This film is about women and the complexity of being female.
'Clara's not a hero by any stretch, she's also a prostitute and she kills people.
'But more in the resilience and the protection of your child and how much you would do just to make your child's life easy. It's about unconditional love.'
