Supermodel Cara Delevingne says the modelling industry is 'horrible'.
The 22-year-old British beauty has revealed she despises the pressures put on girls to stay stick thin and used to get angry when people threatened to drop her from jobs if she was spotted looking weightier or enjoying a night out, reported Wall Street Journal magazine.
"It's horrible living in a world where I'll get a call from someone saying, so-and-so says you were partying a lot and you were looking this way and you need to lose weight. It makes me so angry. If you don't want to hire me, don't hire me," Delevingne said.
The star is now making a name for herself in Hollywood having appeared in "Anna Karenina" and "The Face of an Angel" and is set to star in "Pan" and "Paper Towns" this year.
