Cara Delevingne Says Happiness Isn't About Beauty or Fame

Cara Delevingne keeps it cool in a leather jacket while making her way Heathrow Airport for a departing flight on Wednesday (October 14) in London, England.

The 23-year-old actress and model recently opened up about her struggle with depression.

“I think I pushed myself so far that I got to the point where I had a mental breakdown. I got to the point where I went a bit mad,” Cara said during a Q&A, which you can watch below. “I was completely suicidal, I didn’t want to live any more. I thought that I was completely alone. I also realized how lucky I was, and what a wonderful family and wonderful friends I had, but that didn’t matter. I wanted the world to swallow me up.”

Cara added, “?In our culture we are told that if we are beautiful, if we are skinny, if we are successful, famous, if we fit in, if everyone loves us, that we’ll be happy. But that’s not entirely true.”
