Cara Delevingne lights up the screen with a bombshell revelation – her secret romance with Amber Heard that unfolded like a Hollywood drama after Johnny Depp's divorce. The supermodel and actress dropped this juicy tidbit on The Louis Theroux Podcast, finally putting an end to months of speculation about their connection amidst the very public and bitter feud between Heard and Depp.
Delevingne cleared up the timeline of their relationship, stating that while they were close for a significant period, any romantic 'entanglement' only occurred after Heard's divorce from Depp. This addresses previous whispers suggesting an affair during their marriage – a union that lasted from 2015 to 2017 and was sparked by their dating in 2012. Delevingne noted that despite Depp's reported jealousy, nothing was happening between her and Heard during the filming of 'London Fields', a movie they both starred in alongside Depp.
Theroux referenced claims that Depp was driven mad with the idea of Delevingne and Heard being romantically involved. Delevingne responded bluntly, 'Later, after they divorced, it had happened,' confirming the post-divorce connection. She further elaborated, 'We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose.' Notably, she nodded to Theroux's suggestion that Heard was also linked with businessman Elon Musk at the time.
The timing of these revelations is no coincidence – it comes amidst the prolonged and often brutal legal battles between Heard and Depp. This climaxed in Depp winning a defamation case against Heard in the US, following an op-ed she penned that he argued falsely accused him of domestic abuse. Depp consistently denied all allegations, and the jury ultimately found Heard's statements about her marriage to be 'false' and made with 'actual malice'.
Cara Delevingne also took the opportunity to share a deeply personal experience with disgraced former film executive Harvey Weinstein. She recounted a phone call where Weinstein allegedly asked her about her sexuality, telling her, 'You'll never make it in the industry if people think you're gay.' Delevingne admitted, 'And I really believed him, and I really took that to heart,' highlighting the pressures and prejudices faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in the entertainment industry.
Cara Delevingne is a trailblazer for British fashion and film, using her platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and mental health awareness. Her impressive career includes roles in films such as 'Paper Towns' and 'Suicide Squad', and she has received numerous accolades – although not specifically BAFTA or Brit Awards for these particular projects. Her work is often available on major streaming platforms in the UK, making her a familiar face to British audiences.
