Cara Delevingne makes brutal admission about exes after finally confirming Amber Heard relationship

It's been a tricky romantic road for Cara Delevingne, star of Suicide Squad and Carnival Row.

While stopping by Spotify Studios for the latest episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast, the 33-year-old reflected on the difficulty of coming out as a lesbian, as well as her 'entangled' relationship with Amber Heard.

During this segment of their chat, Delevingne confirmed that she'd drifted between identifying as pansexual and bisexual for a time, but one slightly brutal caveat meant she's never truly been able to devote herself to a man.

'I've never been in love with a man'

"I think men are attractive," she told Theroux. "I think if you're a lesbian, you can still find men attractive. I've never been in love with a man, so I think that classifies me as a lesbian."

Delevingne has previously been linked to Sinners star Jack O'Connell, posting hickeys she'd apparently left on his neck on social media. She was also rumoured to be dating Harry Styles, although Styles told press at one point: "She's not my girl!"

Theroux then asked his guest why it had taken her so long to figure out, to which Delevingne replied: "Because it's hard being gay. I think basic human instinct is to go for an easier path. But you can't fight against who you are.

'You always want to feel understood a bit more'

"I think there was always an element of people poking fun at it, which was fine because I did it too, people close to me," she went on to elaborate.

"Because also, I guess I didn't feel very seen for it, but I also know that my own personality is, I would take the p*ss of myself, brush it under the rug, and not want to talk about it.

"But there's a part deep down that you always want to feel understood a bit more."

She also claimed that disgraced Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein once told her to 'never be in a relationship with a woman' when she disclosed her sexuality to him.

'I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy'

Elsewhere on the podcast, the Only Murders in the Building favourite was also quizzed on 'the Johnny Depp thing', in reference to the iconic actor's alleged paranoia that his wife at the time, Amber Heard, was sleeping with Delevingne.

"Am I meant to comment?" she said. "It's because we did a movie together, and it was called London Fields. He was also doing the movie.

"I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy. Nothing was happening at that point. Later, after they divorced, it had, I suppose. No, I don't suppose. I know. Yeah."

'We were entangled, I suppose'

Keen to dig deeper into the nature of the pair's relationship, Theroux launched an 'entanglement' bomb in the chat, with Delevingne left unsure whether connotations to this word were bad.

"I think it means a relatively short-lived liaison or series of physical encounters," Theroux clarified, to which Delevigne answered: "We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose.

"But she was also entangled with other people."

It comes after years of rumours about Heard and Delevingne being an item.
