In a way, Cara Delevingne owes her life to the paparazzi. Had it not been for those photos that were taken in September 2022 at Van Nuys airport in Los Angeles, where she was barefoot, disheveled and in an evident state of confusion, the actress would never have realized what her real conditions were , would never have decided to seek treatment and today would not have been clean for four months. «Speaking of those photos, I had dismissed the issue by explaining that I hadn’t slept and I wasn’t well – Delevingne admitted in an interview with Vogue that dedicated the April cover story to her -. You can’t escape from the things that happen in your life, but that’s what I wanted to do: just pretend they didn’t exist. I didn’t want to face anything. But at one point I was like, okay, I don’t look good. Sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way I’m grateful for those photos, they opened my eyes, the way I was living wasn’t sustainable.”
Oversized celebrations
Thanks to the celebrations for her thirtieth birthday, a three-week holiday in Ibiza and the Burning Man festival in Nevada, the model and actress had already pushed the limits already in the summer. «I decided that I would celebrate big, because this was the end of me. I feel invincible when I do drugs. I put myself in danger in those moments, because I don’t care about my life. It’s a scary thing for people who love you. It’s heartbreaking, because I thought I was enjoying myself, but now I know that if I continued in that direction, I would either die or do something really stupid. It was scary.” At the end of the year, Delevingne decided to enter rehab. “The treatment was the best. It was something I was always really afraid of, but the community made a huge difference.”
During therapy, the actress faced her past made up of addictions at an early age (“At 7 I woke up with a hangover”) and family traumas connected to substance abuse and come to terms with all these ugliness was the first step to heal. “We are human, we will fall and make mistakes, we will go through a thousand difficulties, but this is how we will get back up – wrote the actress in the post on Instagram accompanying the cover of Vogue -. Hard times are not permanent. Difficult circumstances don’t have to hold us back or define us, there is hope. Always. I am grateful and proud and ready for whatever is to come. Remember that it is never too late to change the direction of the story. And to those who are still struggling, don’t give up, you are not alone.”
