Cara Delevingne has opened up about her past drug use, saying that she used to think they helped her cope, but in fact they made her “sad and super depressed”.The Suicide Squad and Paper Towns star has been sober for two years now and in a new interview with The Times, she has reflected on how drugs and alcohol had affected her life since childhood.She spoke specifically about a family wedding in 2001: “I got drunk that day, I was eight,” she said. “What a crazy age to get drunk.”“I woke up in my granny’s house in my bedroom with a hangover in a bridesmaid’s dress.”She recalled how she had spent her time at the reception “nailing glasses of champagne”, and noted that she believes her unhealthy relationship with substances can be traced back to that day.“I used to think drugs and alcohol helped me cope,” she added. “But they didn’t.
They kept me sad and super depressed.”She said a series of photographs of her at an airport after Burning Man Festival in her socks was the wake-up call that she needed to turn things around.“It was a stupid decision to go straight from a festival to work,” she said. “I should have waited a day.
But it was going to happen to me anyway, there were plenty of photos out there of me looking wasted. Listen, I signed up for this, this is my job, it’s what I do.
