Actually, make that had: though she was born with extra digits, Arterton hasn’t been a polydactyl for a while.
It was in a 2008 interview that Arterton first revealed that she had been born with an extra finger on each hand.

“It’s my little oddity that I’m really proud of. People are really interested but repulsed at the same time”.
The fingers were removed shortly after Arterton was born, however – you can still see the small scars – as there was no bone in the actual digits.

The actress thinks it’s just the beginning for the human race, though: “My dad had them, and my grandad. I feel like we’re one step ahead – a sign of things to come”.
