==Early life==
Gemma Ward was born on 3 November 1987 in Perth, Western Australia, the second of four children of Gary Ward, an Australian doctor, and Claire, an English nurse.〔(DailyTelegraph.com.au Gemma Ward. )〕 She has an older sister, Sophie (who also became a model), and younger twin brothers, Oscar and Henry. She was educated at the Presbyterian Ladies' College and Shenton College. Gemma was the family clown whose ambition was acting.〔 Her passion for acting was born in 1997, when she was cast as the witch in a school play of ''Hansel and Gretel'' at age ten.
Ward's brush with modeling was an accidental one.〔 She was discovered in 2002, at the age of fourteen,〔 while accompanying her friends to the Australian modelling competition ''Search for a Supermodel''.〔 As she said in a ''Teen Vogue'' interview, she ended up being scouted herself:
I had come straight from my auntie and uncle's farm, and I was wearing this big gray barn jacket with mud all over it. When the scout came up to me, I said, 'No, thank you.' They forged my mum's signature (mandatory parental consent ), and pushed me in front of the cameras.〔
Ward didn't win the competition, but her fragile, unique look, got the attention of a spotter from Vivien's Model Agency who saw her potential and made a show reel.〔〔 The show reel then landed on the desk of ace model scout David Cunningham from the New York City agency IMG. "Look how confident she is. I mean, she looks like she's been doing this for years, and she's a 15-year-old kid walking in an alleyway in Perth () She's a supermodel, for sure," Cunningham said.〔
