The L-Ward
What does a supermodel do when she's away from the glamour of the catwalk and red carpet? If you're Perth's Gemma Ward, you take driving lessons. The 20 year old, who is now a resident of New York, was snapped with her "L" plates near her family's Nedlands home.
A source says Ward managed to fit in some driving lessons after returning home for actor and rumoured beau Heath Ledger's funeral.
High fashion seemed a world away as a bare foot Ward got out of a White Nissan after an hour- long session with someone who appeared to be a driving instructor.
"She can drive all right" the sourse says. " But i don't know if she's going to pass her test. She seemed to be going pretty fast for a learner."
One test that Ward has already passed is her big screen debut. Her first movie, The black Balloon, won best feature film at Berlin Film Festival and will open in Australia on Thursday.
