Lily Cole isn't the only model foraying onto the big screen. After revealing that she intends to study theater at Yale, yesterday it was announced that Gemma Ward has been cast for the upcoming 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' movie.

According to sources, Ward will actually be acting. She has a small speaking role as a mermaid and will join the rest of the cast - including Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp - in Hawaii in August. A close friend of the model told Australia's The Daily Telegraph: "Gemma's focus is definitely on acting. She's spent the past year studying the craft full time in New York." We all still have quite a wait to see the film as it is not set to hit theaters until May 20, 2011.
