Model turned actress Cara Delevingne has said she “didn’t like what being a model was turning her into”.

The British star, 24, will soon be seen on the big screen starring in Luc Besson’s time-travelling blockbuster, Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets.

The film also stars Dane DeHaan and sees singing star Rihanna making a cameo.

She told Radio Times magazine: “I didn’t like myself as a model. I didn’t like what I stood for. I didn’t like what it was turning me into. Not that I was focused about how I looked all the time, but it is kind of about that.

“That is not me at all – you speak to all my oldest best friends and they know I’m not a model. I do not give a shit about what I look like.”

“It’s a nice little weight off my shoulders, to be honest. It’s nice,” she told Radio Times, adding: “I’m not out of it. I will still definitely do it.
