“The importance of representation to me, in the industry and the world at large, is that people need to see people like them,” she said. “Growing up, I didn’t really see many people like me, so I’m just really grateful to be able to be one of those people representing.
“I never really came out. It was more that I just decided that I was done with being in the closet, I was done with being ashamed for who I loved and who I was, so for me, it was more just being like, ‘Love it love, and we should be able to love who we want,'” Delevingne added.
Delevingne is bringing representation toOnly Murders in the Buildingseason 2, during which she recentlyshared an onscreen kisswith real-life palSelena Gomez.
