Cara Delevingne can't act for crap


She's so stiff and monotone. Agree or disagree?

reply

I agree completely!! She needs someone talented to teach her how to act!!

LoL! I have no idea why Hollyweird is so aggressively trying to make this odd looking, poor acting woman a thing.

reply

For the same reason they're pushing Brie Larson, or Ruby Rose, or Zendaya, or Tessa Thompson: all of them act with that kind of disgust grimace, like they had some stinky smell stuck under their noses.

Beyond physical hotness, women were traditionally being considered attractive if they had a pretty smile and they conveyed some feeling of sweetness. These actresses are chosen because they represent the opposite of it. It's a kind of 'female ugliness' movement. Men like attractive women, so woke movies try to portray women that are hot enough to get viewers... but at the same time oddly unacttractive, at least for males. Cara Levigne is great example: she's hot and unattractive at the same time. A weird mix.

Funny thing about it... Hollywood is trying to make women independent of males... by prioritizing being unattractive to males over any other consideration... I don't think they get the irony of it.

All the women you listed there I can't watch, they ruin whatever they’re in, not watched this show yet, Cara is putting me off it.

She a pro at resting bitch face.

reply

Amen to that.

reply

She is terrible.

reply

She makes me stiff.

reply

I thought she did a reasonable job for someone who is not a trained actor.

reply

She's had several major roles! She is a trained actor.

reply

I mean she has had no formal acting training for example at RADA the Royal Academy for the Dramatic Arts.

reply

The vast majority of working actors don't have that sort of formal training tho

reply

I don't know about that but some people seem to be born with an ability to act, instinctive actors you might say, where others have to learn how to do it, like a trade.

reply

My sister watched this show,I watch an ep with her and year Cara sucks as an actress and shes not hot either.
She was awful in suicide squad too

reply

She was better than in Valerian, I'll say that. She grew on me as the season progressed, though I'm not her biggest fan. Her Irish accent was pretty good.

reply

I like her a lot. She just has to stand there and breathe, as far as I’m concerned.
