Delevingne became a model to escape her issues

-

The 25-year-old model-turned-actress believes that her career as a model provided her with a way of avoiding her problems but acting has forced her to deal with them. She told Australia’s Stellar magazine: “Modelling came at a time in my life where I wanted to please people. “I was just doing things to run away from my own problems. I wasn’t dealing with things that were going on emotionall­y. That’s why I ended up being unhappy. “Being an actor helped me reflect on my own emotions, be able to express them more, be in the moment.” Meanwhile, Cara recently spoke out about disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein, revealing that she was left “powerless and scared” after a terrifying encounter. In a lengthy post on Instagram, Cara wrote: “When I first started to work as an actress, i was working on a film and I received a call from Harvey Weinstein asking if I had slept with any of the women I was seen out with in the media. It was a very odd and uncomforta­ble call....i answered none of his questions and hurried off the phone but before I hung up, he said to me that If I was gay or decided to be with a woman especially in public that I’d never get the role of a straight woman or make it as an actress in Hollywood. “A year or two later, I went to a meeting with him in the lobby of a hotel with a director about an upcoming film. The director left the meeting and Harvey asked me to stay and chat with him. As soon as we were alone he began to brag about all the actresses he had slept with and how he had made their careers and spoke about other inappropri­ate things of a sexual nature.
