Spotted: Gemma Ward in The Great Gatsby


Ex-quasi-supermodel/aspiring actress:
my favourite kind of cameo. 


Gemma Ward is only in the latest rendition of The Great Gatsby for less than ten seconds, but I feel like her presence helped take the film that much closer to sheer cinematic/styletastic greatness. 

I almost jumped out of my seat when I spotted Gemma at the cinema, though I seemed to be the only one. When I started asking my friends around me: "Oh my gosh, did you see who that was?!", and my friends replied, "No, who?" "Gemma Ward!" "Who?"

Gemma never disappoints, and she seems to love popping up in random films

Fingers crossed for more of these in the future.

Spotted: Gemma Ward in The Strangers

My whole world has turned upside down.


The Strangers (2008) has possibly been one of the greatest letdowns for me. Before I saw it, everyone who had seen it told me that it was "terrifying" and "absolutely unbearable to watch".

Umm... No.

I guess it was alright. The major problem I had with it was that I wanted it to be a slasher film, which it wasn't. It's a home-invasion film (which appear to be all too common nowadays). So, I suppose it was my own fault for disliking it.

However, I did enjoy Liv Tyler in it. She's always great.

BUT.

After five years of watching this film, I found out the most astonishing thing the other day. The evil blonde girl, a.k.a. Dollface, is none other than one of my all-time favourite models, Gemma Ward! Mind completely and utterly blown.

On the other hand, had I known this at the time of watching it, I possibly would have been even more disappointed with Dollface's lack of style. Hmm...
