In a recent interview on the Goop podcast, the model and actor — who identifies as pansexual — talked about how growing up in an "old-fashioned household" led to her being "homophobic" when she was younger.
"I didn’t know anyone who was gay...I wasn’t knowledgeable of the fact I was homophobic," she said. “The idea of being same sex [partners], I was disgusted by that, in myself. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I would never, that’s disgusting, ugh.’”
Delevingne also talked about how her eventual coming out took a toll on her mental health due to her upbringing: "I do correlate the massive depression and the suicidal moments of my life [to being queer] because I was so ashamed of ever being that."
Delevingne also talked about being “an androgynous person,” saying, “I love being a woman and dressing up and doing all that, but I also love being a rough-and-tumble ‘man.’ … I feel so much more comfortable in the fluidity of what it is to be just a human and to be an animal, almost, because that’s what we are. To trust in your own instincts.”
