| Cara Delevingne has had a lot of bold looks over the years, but her newest 'do is different than anything we've seen on her before.
Cara Delevingne's new movie
role as a cancer patient almost sucked her back into the depression she
suffered from as a teenager.
The model turned actress stars
alongside Jaden Smith in Life in a Year, in which she plays a young woman with
terminal cancer.
Cara was so determined to
throw herself into the role but says morbid thoughts almost caused her to
become depressed.
"It was a very dark six
weeks because I was thinking about death every second of every day," she
told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper. "So if I wasn't completely clear
headed it could have got very dangerous and I could have gotten sucked into
massive depression."
Cara has spoken out about her
battle with mental illness, which she struggled through as her mother was
suffering from heroin addiction.
Speaking about what it was
like growing up with a parent with a drug problem she said, "It shapes the
childhood of every kid whose parent has an addiction. You grow up too quickly
because you're parenting your parents."
The Suicide Squad star, 24,
was so determined to get her performance right she quit drinking alcohol for
the duration of the film shoot.
"It was so important to
be as focused as possible because it was the most intense and difficult role I
have ever played and it was very important to spend most of my time trying to
learn about what it would be like to have cancer and putting myself in those
situations," she explained.
To play a cancer patient Cara
shaved her head, and she has revealed she loves having short hair.
"I'm in the short hair
club. I like it because the maintenance is a lot less which is nice," she
explained. "I feel a lot more open and a little more vulnerable than when
I had long hair, which is actually kind of liberating,"
Life in A year is out in
cinemas next year (18).
