She’s quitting the catwalk and saving the universe!

I'm Retiring! Cara's New Calling

With her flawless skin, trademark thick eyebrows and impressive array of A-list friends, she’s been described as the coolest girl in fashion. But it’s all over for “it girl” Cara Delevingne. She’s now a former supermodel – and she couldn’t be happier!

“I never really wanted to be a model at all,” Cara confesses to Woman’s Day. “I wanted to act from a very young age, but I thought you had to go to drama school. Because modelling had come to me first, I thought I could do that to make some money to pay for drama school. I never expected to be as big a model as I am.”

What Cara also didn’t anticipate was how modelling would pave the way to a career on the silver screen. Now that she’s starring in her seventh film in five years, the 24-year-old Brit has made it official – she’s retired her catwalk strut for good to concentrate on her acting career.

The film that convinced her to take the leap was the $240 million sci-fi blockbuster Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, directed by French cult hero Luc Besson, which has just hit Kiwi screens and is laden with special effects from Wellington’s Weta Digital.
