Suicide Squad actress Cara Delevigne recently revealed that to prepare for her role as Enchantress in the recently released superhero film, she walked entirely naked in a forest — and the experience was horrific.
When an actor wants to portray a different character, he or she goes through immense training sessions. In these sessions, they try to portray themselves as that character and start to behave like them. Some actors did drugs in the past for method acting, some spent time at mental asylums to prepare for their character, and some walked naked in a forest.
Model-turned-actress Delevigne recently revealed to Esquire UK that while preparing for the role of June Moone, aka Enchantress, she studied a lot about addiction and mental health. In addition to that, she also spent a night in the woods just to get under the skin of her character.
During the interview, the actress was asked whether she walked naked at night. Delevigne revealed that at first, she chose to walk in clothes, but soon after, she took them off.
“Well, I wasn’t naked when I walked there,” Delevingne recalled. “I walked there with my clothes on, and then when I got there I took them off.”
When asked whether she caught any cold as she walked naked through the forest, to which she replied, “Not really. It was summer.”
According to Entertainment Tonight, for Esquire UK, she posed without any clothes. Many fans think that she is going to be the next Kate Moss, but the actress admits that she does not enjoy modeling that much and is not too keen to continue her work in the fashion industry.
“Modeling is not something I love,” she revealed. “It always felt like a job. It was never a passion. It was more like a part I played.”
The 23-year-old Delevingne was born and raised in Hammersmith, London. She started her modeling career at the age of 10 when she was shot by Bruce Weber for Vogue Italia alongside model Lady Eloise. She is among the actresses who has spent most of her time in the fashion industry. But now she refers to it as “surface.”
“It’s not about what’s underneath, it’s not about being yourself. You don’t feel you matter as a person,” she added. “You feel like it’s just about your looks — and it is.”
The former model played her first film role in the 2012 movie adaptation of Anna Karenina, where she played the role of Princess Sorokina.
After appearing alongside Keira Knightley, she made her TV debut in the finale episode of Playhouse Parents. And there was no turning back for her.
In December 2014, it was announced that Delevingne had joined the cast of Suicide Squad and will be portraying the role of a villainess with magical abilities. The superhero film released earlier today in U.S., and is getting a negative review from the critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 27 percent, based on 175 reviews.
The site’s critical consensus reads, “Suicide Squad boasts a talented cast and a little more humor than previous DCEU efforts, but they aren’t enough to save the disappointing end result from a muddled plot, thinly written characters, and choppy directing.”
In future, fans will get to see Cara Delevingne alongside Rihanna in the upcoming Luc Besson film, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, a movie adaptation of the comic book series Valérian and Laureline. The film went into production in December 2015 and is scheduled for a 2017 release.
