Gemma Ward has long rubbed shoulders with Hollywood, she did a photoshoot with George Clooney for Vanity Fair (pictured above), and she reportedly used Nicole Kidman’s acting coach to help her with her acting skills. And it seems that the acting coach and Ward’s natural talent has paid off.

It deserves to be a huge hit.
