Cara Delevingne: Acting Has Become Full-Time Job

The British model reveals she has little time for catwalks these days with new film Paper Towns and another six in the pipeline.

Delevingne On Her Hollywood Career

Cara Delevingne has said she would never quit modelling but that acting is fast becoming her full-time job.

The star has been forging a Hollywood career while also featuring in fashion campaigns, including alongside Kate Moss for Burberry.

The 23-year-old recently hit the headlines after an awkward interview on US breakfast television where the hosts told her to go and take a nap and "drink a Red Bull".

But Delevingne told Sky News she is not bothered by what people think of her.

"Everything the public see of me is true. Obviously not everything that's written … Everything that I put out is very much real."

In her latest film, Paper Towns, Delevingne plays an ultra-cool high school kid who has been misunderstood her whole life. So are there parallels for the model?

"I don't think many people know the whole me. I don't think many people know the real anyone."

Part coming-of-age story, part road trip, the film was written by John Green, author of the 2014 box office hit The Fault In Our Stars.

"With the character Margo, I think it's not only that she thinks other people don't know her, it's that she doesn't know who she it. It's not about other people, it's about herself."

Delevingne has had a successful modelling career since signing to Storm Model Management aged 15.

Now, she is branching out into acting with several high profile roles under her belt and more to follow in 2016, including the highly anticipated Suicide Squad.

It seems like a lot of pressure for a young woman who is constantly in the public eye, although she claims she would never ditch the modelling.

"There's no reason why I'd need to, there are lots of actresses who model as well so I'm just going to carry on the way I am."

However back in June, Delevingne's profile was removed from Storm's website, fuelling rumours she is now focusing full time on her acting career.

"'I just want people to feel like the characters I play are real - that they're thought provoking, that they aren't like me."

"The pressure I get is usually from myself. I've really had to stop caring what other people think."
