It-Brit Cara Delevingne is the latest model to add ‘slash actress’ to her resume.
Following minor roles in 2014’s Anna Karenina and The Face Of An Angel earlier this year, this summer sees the beauty takes a starring role in Paper Towns, the latest film adaptation based on a book by John 'The Fault In Our Stars' Green.
Despite being named Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in both 2012 and 2014 thanks to contracts with the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Tom Ford and Burberry, and being named as one of The Sunday Times Magazine’s ‘100 Makers of the 21st Century’, Cara has admitted that acting was always been her real love.
