Cara Delevingne has admitted that she was a bit of a wild child at school as she couldn’t resist a good prank.
The 22-year-old model-turned-actress went to a private school, where she said she had a lot in common with her rebellious student character Margo, who she plays in new film Paper Towns.
She told The Sun: “I used to be revengeful like Margo. I used to play a lot of pranks at school.
“I don’t like boundaries. If someone makes a boundary I don’t like, I’m a rebel. I loved setting off fire alarms a lot at school. What else? Just leaving horrible things in people’s shoes, such as eggs.
“Once I left a scorpion in my sister Poppy’s shoe. She didn’t get stung, she saw it first. We had a horrible fight after though.”
Cara added that she often sneakily managed to avoid any blame for her tricks.
She said: “I wasn’t someone who got caught at school, ever. I was very much a ninja. Someone else would also get caught.”
But the now-confident star went on: “I had the worst time being a teenager. That age is very confusing and you feel so alone. You think you know so much, but actually you know nothing at all.”
Despite her success as a model, Cara still can’t believe her luck at managing to break into acting.
With roles coming up in period drama Tulip Fever, fantasy Pan and supervillain movie Suicide Squad, she explained: “Being able to act is my miracle. Being able to do the things that I love as my job, and get paid for them, is weird because I would pay to do this.
“The first time I ever went on stage I fell in love with it. So yeah, the fact that I’m able to do this now is really the biggest, best thing in the world.”
