Cara Delevingne Goes Nude, Gets Candid About Her Struggle With Depression

“Modelling is not something I love”, she confides. Accessorized with bright cocktail rings blossoming from her fingers, it was elegant with a playful edge – a theme across Robbie’s wardrobe for the entire Suicide Squad press tour, styled by Kate Young, a celebrity stylist whose clients also include Selena Gomez, Natalie Portman, and Sienna Miller. Well to play a character like that, you can’t just waltz onto set on your first day, happy as a clam!

Cara Delevingne poses in her birthday suit in a steamy spread for Esquire UK magazine. “‘Go to the forest, the country – hopefully under the full moon – naked and feel what that feels like.’ And I was like, ‘This is fucking awesome”.

This past March, Delevingne briefly addressed her depression in a series of tweets about her decision to slow down on her modeling career. “I think I properly started dealing with depression when I was about 16”, she shares.

“Will Smith was telling me he brought up his kids to put their emotions first, and when I heard that, I was just like, ‘Oh my God, that sounds like a fairy tale, ‘” she continues. I’m very good at repressing emotion and seeming fine. “When it got to being a teenager, and all the hormones and the pressure and wanting to do well at school, I had a mental breakdown”, Delevingne said. I felt so guilty because of that and hated myself because of that, and then it’s a cycle. “I was like, I really don’t want this to be a theme party or a Halloween costume”. “I hate meds”, she says.

Unfortunately as the depression got worse, she became suicidal. “I wanted to die”. “I walked there with my clothes on, and then when I got there I took them off”.
