'It was the most amazing feeling I ever felt in my entire existence.'
Cara Delevingne decided to shave her head for her role in"Life in a Year" even though her agents weren't happy about the idea. She explained that she felt it was a necessary thing to do if she was going to authentically portray a cancer patient. In the end, Cara said she was very happy with the decision, saying it was"one of the most liberating things" she's ever done.
"Before I even got the project, I said to the director, 'I want to shave my head for it.’ My agents and managers were like, 'Please don't! Why would you do that?' When it's a part like that, especially when it's about cancer. I needed to feel what it would be like to have no hair. The way you look, I think, it's so important to feel beautiful, no matter if you have hair.
"At first I had a very big, curly 'fro that kind of became a symbol of my self-acceptance. It was me loving my blackness: It was the hair growing out of my head, so there was nothing wrong with that! As soon as I got tired of that [look] being my identity, I cut my hair shorter. I was curious how that might affect people's perception of my gender too, so I kept cutting it shorter and shorter. I wanted a hairstyle that felt less feminine...Shaving my head was wild.
