Cara Delevingne just totally shut down her weight shamers
This time last year, Cara Delevingne was the must-have model for brands all over the world, from Chanel to Victoria's Secret to Topshop and everything in between.
Fast forward twelve months, and she is rarely seen on the catwalks, except for a once-off appearance at Chanel's Paris Fashion Week show back in March.
The English beauty has traded in fashion for film, and says she's infinitely more content with her life as a result.
Cara, who was rumoured to have been cut from the annual Victoria's Secret show in December 2014 as she looked too "bloated," told the Wall Street Journal that she's sick of being judged by her appearance.
"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 in the new interview.
"It makes me so angry. If you don't want to hire me, don't hire me."
Even at the height of her modelling career, Cara made a conscious effort to display her more playful, cheeky side on social media, rather than trying to keep up the sultry persona that she was required to display in campaigns and on the catwalk.
"People see a pretty girl, and they expect to see a pretty face," she said of her notoriously silly selfies. "I'm not going to do that."
The rookie actress, who has a lead role in the upcoming John Green film Paper Towns, says she is no longer so self-conscious about her looks. "With acting, the last thing you do is try to look pretty," she explained. "Modeling actually makes acting harder – it makes you so self-aware."
Cara admitted that she's also cut down on partying and drinking, and is embracing a new, more health-conscious lifestyle. "I've never been so good. When I started looking after myself, that's when I started getting acting roles."
We are loving Cara's new attitude!
