She won the part after an audition process that included 100 other actresses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cara killed it in the chemistry read. We all knew as soon as she walked in,&#8221; co-star Nat Wolff said in a recent interview.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I killed all the other actresses that went up for the role,&#8221; Delevingne joked, laughing alongside Wolff.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old may no longer need to be quite so aggressive in Hollywood. She appears in four more films expected to be released this year, including &#8220;Pan.&#8221; She plays DC Comics villain-slash-heroine Enchantress in the dark &#8220;Suicide Squad,&#8221; out next summer, then co-stars with Dane DeHaan in director Luc Besson&#8217;s big-budget sci-fi film &#8220;Valerian.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The whole thing has been a joy ride. This is my dream so I&#8217;m kind of following it now,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t feel like I&#8217;m stopping modeling. It&#8217;s just definitely slowing down and so I&#8217;m just happy to be doing this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In &#8220;Paper Towns,&#8221; adapted from John Green&#8217;s popular young adult novel, Delevingne plays the enigmatic Margo, who wrangles Wolff&#8217;s character into an all-night adventure, then disappears.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cara understands better than anyone I&#8217;ve ever know what it&#8217;s like to be Margo, what it&#8217;s like to have people project images onto you and not really know you,&#8221; said Green, an executive producer on the film. &#8220;Margo is a character in the story who everybody&#8217;s paying attention to, but nobody&#8217;s ever listening to. And I think that&#8217;s probably something Cara can also relate to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Delevingne says that while the promotional grind of releasing a movie isn&#8217;t so different from modeling &#8211; plenty of posing for photographers &#8211; she&#8217;s intrigued by the media megaphone provided by movie stardom.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a platform for me to be honest and to talk about issues and stuff that I think is important,&#8221; she said on the red carpet at a Los Angeles &#8220;Paper Towns&#8221; screening attended by modeling friends Kendall and Kylie Jenner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>AP writer Marcela Isaza contributed to this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View image | gettyimages.com LOS ANGELES &#8212; Cara Delevingne wants you to know she didn&#8217;t strut directly from the fashion &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":57088,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1482,106],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking","category-hollywood","mauthors-michael-cidoni-lennox","mauthors-the-associated-press1"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
