LOS ANGELES: Model and actress Cara Delevingne described queer nightlife as the first place she experienced genuine belonging during an interview at the premiere of her new film on Wednesday.
Speaking to People at the premiere of A24’s “Club Kid”, Delevingne, 34, discussed how those spaces helped her embrace her sexuality. “It was the first place I found real belonging,” she told the publication.
Delevingne recalled feeling pressure to present herself as straight in other social settings. She described the queer party scene as particularly welcoming, including to people who attended as allies.
The actress stars in “Club Kid”, the first film Jordan Firstman has written, directed and acted in. Firstman plays a New York City nightclub promoter whose life changes when he discovers he has a 10-year-old son.
Child actor Reggie Absolom portrays the boy. The cast also includes Diego Calva, Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Colleen Camp. Delevingne has expanded her career into music this year.
