Gemma Ward: From Runway Goddess To Acting Zombie
Edited by Kirby Marzec
I must admit, the fashion world just isn’t the same without the blonde haired, blue eyed porcelain doll, Gemma Ward. Taking a modeling hiatus to appear in The Strangers and star in Jimmy Jack’s The Black Balloon, Ward certainly packed on a few pounds, but rumors circled that Ward was going to set her acting career on the back-burner, slim down and dive back into modeling. I hate to break it to you, but it looks like Ward just isn’t biting the model line as Jimmy Jack is courting her for a leading role in his romantic zombie film, Zombie: Sex, Brains and Rock n’ Roll. Hmm..sounds like a crappy version of Twilight to me. Um, Gemma…your ego called, it wants its lucrative career back.
Thanks Modelinia!
Flip through any fashion magazine from 2008 and you’ll notice one key component missing…Gemma Ward! Now Ward lovers everywhere can rest easy, because hometown website Perth Now set the retire rumors aside and announced that Ward will return to the modeling world in 2009. The doll-faced, high demand model took a leave of absence from magazine covers, advertisements and runways in 2008 to pursue her acting career and star in The Black Balloon and The Strangers. The big screen can definitely do without Ward, but the runway, now it just feels lost and lonely without her! Welcome back Gemma Ward!
