Cara Delevingne admits she woke up with her first hangover aged seven
Cara Delevingne has revealed that she had her first hangover at the age of seven after drinking champagne at a family wedding.
Recently she's been appearing in Only Murders In The Building and Carnival Row, and she's also got eco-action thriller The Climb and heist flick Punk in the pipeline.
But while the future is bright for the actor, she's been looking back at her past in a new interview with Vogue.
During the interview, she described a series of paparazzi photos of her looking dishevelled after her 30th birthday as a 'wake up call' moment.

Delevingne said that 'sometimes you need a reality check' and described them as 'something to be grateful for' in their own way.
She also delved into some of the details of her childhood, including the memory of her first hangover at a young age.
Speaking with Vogue, she opened up about her childhood, which she remembers as 'happy' before it 'all came plummeting down' during her teenage years.
She said: "I was happy as a kid for sure, but I think when I grew up, I looked back and realized 'that's not normal'.
"And then as a teenager, it just all came plummeting down. That’s also when I started drinking and partying.
"There was this need to escape and change my reality as I was hit with just huge questions: 'What am I doing here? Who am I trying to be?'."
The Suicide Squad star remembered the first time she ended up getting a hangover, aged just seven after she'd 'gone around nailing glasses of Champagne' at a family wedding.
The next morning she 'woke up in my granny’s house in my bedroom with a hangover, in a bridesmaid's dress'.
She went on to explain that by the age of 10, she was prescribed sleeping pills and was diagnosed with dyspraxia, which she says was 'the beginning of mental health issues' which led to her suffering a breakdown at 15 and being put on antidepressants.
"I was on medication and it just…it saved my life.” she said.
In the interview, it's also mentioned that her Los Angeles home is like 'a playhouse for adults' which includes a ball pit, trampolines in the lawn and a bathroom with a David Bowie theme.
That information doesn't really have anything to do with the main point of the article, but it sounds like a really cool house and therefore worth mentioning.
Meanwhile, last year Delevingne made the headlines for donating her orgasm to science for her documentary series Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne.
What this actually means is that researchers sampled her blood before and after climaxing so they could measure a potential change to the number of endocannabinoids in her system.
