Cara Delevingne is getting candid about why she's stepping away from modeling, admitting that working in the industry made her feel "hollow."
In a recent interview with London's The Times, the 23-year-old model reveals that she is "not doing fashion work any more."
"It didn't make me grow at all as a human being," she tells the publication. "And I kind of forgot how young I was. I felt so old."
"I was, like, fight and flight for months. Just constantly on edge," she adds. "It is a mental thing as well because if you hate yourself and your body and the way you look, it just gets worse and worse.”
The "Paper Towns" star says life as one of the top supermodels had a physical effect on her as well, as she suffered from psoriasis breakouts.
"People would put on gloves and not want to touch me because they thought it was, like, leprosy or something," the blonde beauty explains.
Delevingne, who started modeling at age 10, also talks about more provocative poses she was asked to do when she was starting out. As an up-and-coming model, Cara reveals that she felt like she couldn't say no to nudity.
"I am a bit of a feminist and it makes me feel sick," she declares. "It's horrible and it's disgusting. [We're talking about] young girls. You start when you are really young and you do, you get subjected to … not great stuff."
The young star admits that she's already experienced sexual harassment in the acting world too. However, she's learned how to handle it because it was "worse in modeling."
"I am very good at standing up for myself now, and for other people," she says. "If there is injustice I will flip out. If someone is crossing a line, they will know about it and so will everyone else."
"I am a lot harder than I was and I feel like all of that modeling, life, rejection, everything, was preparation for this, and now that I am doing this I am the happiest person in the whole world."
Cara will next be seen opposite Will Smith, Jared Leto and Margot Robbie in "Suicide Squad" -- check out a trailer below!
