From Modeling To Acting, Gemma Ward Retires From The Runway?

At the young age of 20, Gemma Ward is already considered one of the most successful models of her age. Famous for her babydoll look, people sees her as one of the young models who are nearing supermodel status. So is it true that Gemma Ward will retire from the runway now?

Reports have it that the top Australian model plans to quit modeling to pursue her career in Hollywood. Gemma Ward has already performed in films with veteran Hollywood actress Toni Collete for The Black Balloon, and with Scott Speedman and model-turned actress Liv Tyler for the thriller The Strangers. Unlike other fashion icons whose acting ventures turned out to be a joke, her acting skills had been given good reviews.

After her substantial roles in the films, Gemma Ward is now rumored to “officially retire” from the runway to pursue her acting career. Could this be true?

As an established name in the modeling industry, the young Gemma Ward have made many campaigns for top clothing lines including Prada, Calvin Klein, and Burberry. She have been on covers of 24 Vogue Magazine editions. Because she is on top in the modeling world, its estimated that she commands between $10,000 to $20,000 for a 10 minute fashion show appearance alone.

There is no way then that Gemma Ward will retire from the runway, at least for now. Because of her Hollywood commitments (maybe), the top model will not be seen that much on the runways this fall at Fashion Week. But Gemma Ward will not retire from the runway this early to shift her career from modeling to acting.

This seems to be happening frequently nowadays .. modeling into acting .. acting into modeling.

Ironically, many of the models I shoot with get insulted when I explain that giving expressions in pictures is similar to acting.

Go figure!
