Actress Cara Delevingne has revealed she "always" used to dress up as the Spice Girls and Spider-Man during her younger years.
The 23-year-old model said she "always wanted" to be someone else as a child and while she would often copy the appearance of Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Horner during their heyday, she would never don similar outfits of their fellow band member Victoria Beckham, reported Female First.
"It was the sense of dressing up and feeling really tough. When I was a kid, I always wanted to be other people. I went through different stages: I was a few Spice Girls for a while - first Baby (Emma), then Sporty (Mel), and then Ginger (Geri).
"I was never Posh [Victoria], because she wore little black dresses, and I didn't want to be that kind of girl," she said.
The actress said when she wasn't wearing Union Jack dresses and putting her hair in pig tails, the star was dressinh up as her favourite superhero - Spider-Man.
"Beyond that, I only dreamed of being male superheroes. Spider Man, especially, had a cool costume and cool toys. There were not many strong superhero-type women, apart from Wonder Woman - but I didn't want to be a five-year-old running around in, like, a bikini.
