However, while the interview carried a positive message overall, it contained the line:

Her parents seem to think girls are just a phase for Cara, and they may be correct.”

In response, an online petition was set up, calling for the magazine to apologise. The petition received than 20,000 signatures.

Cara as now also weighed in on the comments.

However, she also added that while she was flattered by the show of support online, she was sure the article was “nothing malicious”.

On learning to block out her life’s distractions, she said:

Being in love helps, you know? If you’re in love with someone, you can be with them like no one else is in the room. Acting is like that. It’s like taking that feeling and turning it on so nothing else matters when you’re looking in another actor’s face.”

Delevingne recently called out Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott for opposing same-sex marriage – at the Australian première of Paper Towns.

Tony Abbott, you better listen to the rest of the world and carry on. Go with it.”

Delevingne, who is in a same-sex relationship with musician St Vincent, spoke about her new relationship and sexual preference in a recent interview with Vogue.

It took me a long time to accept the idea, until I first fell in love with a girl at 20 and recognized that I had to accept it. I think that being in love with my girlfriend is a big part of why I’m feeling so happy with who I am these days. And for those words to come out of my mouth is actually a miracle.”
