The 25-year-old star believes that her career as a model provided her with a way of avoiding her problems but acting helped her deal with them.
"Modelling came at a time in my life where I wanted to please people. I was just doing things to run away from my own problems. I wasn't dealing with things that were going on emotionally. That's why I ended up being unhappy.
"Being an actor helped me reflect on my own emotions, be able to express them more, be in the moment," Delevingne tells Australia's Stellar magazine.
