Cara Delevingne Serious About Acting, Says Fashion Industry Makes Her Feel Empty

Cara Delevingne may be good at modelling, even to the point of being called a supermodel, but this does not mean she wants to be in this industry forever. In a new interview, she shared that the fashion industry is starting to make her feel empty and frustrated because of the unreasonable pressures put on models to stay slim and pretty.

In an interview with WSJ, the 22-year-old British supermodel and actress shared that the modelling world can be “horrible” to live in. "It's horrible living in a world where I'll get a call from someone saying, 'So-and-so says you were partying a lot and you were looking this way and you need to lose weight,'" she said, talking about the fashion industry. "It makes me so angry. If you don't want to hire me, don't hire me.”

She also added that when she was intense about modelling and not yet transitioned into an actress, all she did was worry. She said that when she started to chill out and learned how to reject modelling works, she came to see that she can do more things aside from modelling. She also dished out ending up feeling empty as she works in the fashion industry. She explained that fashion is too focused on the outside, so it requires no search. She shared that the industry is just too keen about creating pretty things.

Last year, the model announced that she is going to take a break from modelling and just focus on her acting stints. Modelling, she said, has become a “back burner,” because she cannot do both at the same time. She said prior to entering Hollywood, she has been modelling all the time.

She did not say she is going to retire from modelling though. Cara said she would still model for projects that she care about, but in general, she said it would be difficult to focus on both acting and modelling at the same time. However, she said she would never say never as she cannot predict what the future would entail from her.

Cara is more than serious about acting. She told Entertainment Weekly that she wants to attain whatever Meryl Streep or Angelina Jolie had on the industry. She even joked like Jolie, she wants to be known as an ex-party girl and now “hardworking.”
