[ Gemma Ward Finally Gets the Vogue Australia Comeback Cover She Deserves ]
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be recognisable, it was that she worried about living up to her fans’ expectations. “I might still have a bad morning and claim to be my cousin,” she said. “But I am definitely much more accepting of myself and that is why I’m not hiding as much.”
Gemma also couldn’t completely embrace her success because her sister, Sophie, was still hopeful about making it big in the modelling world. “I was slightly embarrassed and I felt bad that it was maybe happening to me and not my sister, who really wanted it to happen,” she explained. “I knew it was a big deal, but I was also aware that I was very lucky, and that it doesn’t happen to everyone,” she said.
