Cara Delevingne made headlines in recent months for her erratic behavior and condition caught on video. In September of last year, a video surfaced of Delevingne acting weirdly at Van Nuys airport. She looked like a mess, wearing only socks while she talked on the phone.
Cara Delevingne Showed Erratic Behavior on Video
Fans were immediately concerned about the state of Cara Delevingne. She was extremely skinny in the video. People were afraid she was abusing substances and were quick to rally to help Cara.
According to the model, it was a wake-up call for her. She was in a really bad state then, addicted to alcohol. She said that her relationship with drinking started at a really young age when she quit high school to pursue a career in modeling.
“I didn’t feel like I deserved it. I didn’t feel worthy. I was still stuck in this mindset of not being good enough. I was doing the best I could, but I wasn’t really appreciating every moment. Inside, I felt very different to how I looked.” Delivingne said she relied upon alcohol to suppress her mental health issues.
After the video of her went viral, Delevingne took steps to gain her sobriety back. She has since joined an Alcoholic Anonymous group and started her 12-step journey to getting herself back. Her friends were a big help to her. Margot Robbie, especially, who Delevingne became close with during their filming of Suicide Squad, showed immense support, according to the model.
Her Road to Being Sober
She has since been religiously following her 12-step program and said that sobriety helped her see things from a new perspective. It gave her freedom, she said. It made her realize “That I’m resilient…That anything is possible. I think I used to say that and not believe it. But now I really believe it.”
It has been a hard journey for Cara Delevingne, but she is on the way to gaining herself back from alcohol. “For a long time, I felt like I was hiding a lot from people who looked up to me…To disappear and come back for air. I finally feel as though I can be free and myself, fully.”
Right now, Cara Delevingne is happily living her life with her childhood friend turned girlfriend, Leah Mason. She is also venturing out to more acting roles.
In the past, Delevingne appeared in films like Suicide Squad, Paper Towns, and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Her acting stints have been largely successful, showing people that she has more up her sleeve than modeling.
She is bound to start filming again, starring in a biopic about Patricia Highsmith, opposite Shailene Woodley. Her fans can’t wait to see her acting again, this time, giving it her all in a sober state of mind.
