Cara Delevingne describes “intense and difficult” cancer role
She shaved her head to play a cancer patient.
Cara Delevingne has said the six weeks she spent playing a cancer patient forced her to think about death “every second of every day” and could have sucked her into depression.
The model-turned actress has just finished filming Life In A Year opposite Jaden Smith and said the role led her to staying sober for the duration of the shoot.
“It was a very dark six weeks because I was thinking about death every second of every day. So if I wasn’t completely clear headed it could have got very dangerous and I could have gotten sucked into massive depression.”
The part in her new film also required her to shave her head, which she said was a “liberating” experience.
“I feel a lot more open and a little more vulnerable than when I had long hair, which is actually kind of liberating.”
