Cara Delevingne Talks Ashley Benson Relationship, Not Labeling Herself, & More
Cara Delevingne becomes one with nature on the cover of NET-A-PORTER’s digital title, Porter!
The 27-year-old model snapped the pics at Century Lake in Malibu Creek State Park in Los Angeles. Here’s what she had to share with the mag:
On not defining herself by labels: “I f****** hate it. The labels for everything bum me out. I hate to label myself.”
On her fluid sexuality: “I’ve been to so many dinners where people are like, ‘So, what are you? L, G, B, T, Q?’ I’m like, ‘Guys, really? This is what we’re talking about?’ I change every day.”
On her relationship with Ashley Benson and finally letting someone in: “I’d never truly let anyone in before, for fear of them leaving. I never really trusted people, or felt worthy of it, and I always pushed them away. She’s the first person that has said: ‘You can’t push me away. I’m going to be nice to you, I love you.’ I’m just like, wait, so all I have to do is just let you be nice to me? Why have I never done that before? Okay.”
On making her long-distance relationship with Ashley work: “Long-distance relationships are always tough. We make it work though. We have to. And it definitely makes me a better, happier person.”
On one of the first things that Harvey Weinstein ever said to her: “One of the first things Harvey Weinstein ever said to me was, ‘You will never make it in this industry as a gay woman – get a beard. When I’d just started to audition for films, he was naming people [women] that I’m friends with – famous people – and asking, ‘Have you slept with this person?’ I just thought: this is insane.”
