With an international modeling career and multiple acting roles in Hollywood under her belt, you'd assume Cara Delevingne would be revelling in her continued fame and success.
But in a recent interview with Esquire UK, the 23-year-old opens up about her ongoing battle with mental illness, admitting the pressure to succeed made her start to feel suicidal at the age of 16.
The Suicide Squad actress – who poses on the cover of Esquire naked – also admitted that when she hit 18-years-old she decided to come off her anti-depressants and started to 'feel things again'.
Meanwhile, the model-turned-actress – who has previously fronted high-profile fashion campaigns for the likes of Burberry, Chanel and Rimmel – says she finally found solace in acting, following years of worrying what she looked like in front of the camera as a model.
She also shed light on her new-found love with rumoured fiance American singer St Vincent, after previously being romantically linked to Harry Styles and Michelle Rodriguez.
However, despite her success and an Instagram account that boasts 31.7million followers, Cara reveals she is concerned for how young women are using social media for fame.
