Cara has a special message for the Australian Prime Minister

Cara Delevinge is currently in Australia doing press for her new film Paper Towns and gushing about her girlfriend as she goes.

The 22-year old British actress, and former model, has also been the topic of much conversation recently since she’s decided to make the leap from modelling to acting, and how her new and happier life is apparently due to her new girlfriend.

She said “I’ve been pretty open about myself from the beginning” and she thinks “it’s wonderful that you know, it’s being accepted more and more.”

Cara spoke to Daily Mail Australia about her sexuality and same-sex marriage becoming more accepted.

Cara also had a few choice words for Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbot saying “Tony Abbott you better listen to the rest of the world and carry on. Go with it,” with reference to allowing same-sex marriage. She hopes the country can follow in the footsteps of Ireland and the USA.

While saying that she’s “never been happier” now that she’s turned her attention to acting, she was also quick to point out that she doesn’t like “hanging up hats, I like keeping them on.” So maybe she won’t be living the fashion world for good then.

She counts herself as lucky to be in her current position and commented that “I'm not going to quit, I'm just not modelling as much, because I'm working and performing.”

This comes just days after she left Storm Models agency to be represented soely by the US agency William Morris.

There’s also been reports that she and her girlfriend St Vincent (Annie Clark) have been making music together.

A source claims that “Cara’s recorded music with Pharrell Williams and she’s working and writing with her girlfriend Annie.”

Cara has only spoken publicly about her relationship for the first time in recently and has been quite open about how she feels Annie has had a very positive effect on her life.

Never one to disappear into the background, at the premiere Cara opted for some eye-catching orange eye shadow with a fabulous Dion Less cut-out dress as she struck some of her signature goofy poses for selfies with fans.
