And speaking of the Delevingne family, Poppy’s little sis’ Cara Delevingne is to make her television debut alongside veteran actress Sylvia Syms in Tim Frith’s drama Timeless as part of Sky Arts’ comedy and drama series Playhouse Presents.
The 21-year-old supermodel will star as Chloe, a young woman who is looking after her great-grandmother Alice, played by Syms, while her mother and grandmother are away on a cruise.
The unlikely pair bond across the generation gap after Chloe is given devastating news about her fiancé, a soldier serving in Afghanistan. The story is described as an “engaging tale of love, loss and hope.”
The role marks the fulfillment of a long-held ambition for Delevingne, who has said in the past that acting is her real passion.
Speaking in January on the set of new film The Face Of An Angel, due out next year, she admitted acting was her main love whilst modeling paid the rent: “Modelling is a great job, and I appreciate everything it has brought me, but it’s not my passion. As far back as I can remember I have wanted to act.”
The Playhouse Presents series starts on May 1, with Cara’s episode Timeless airing on Sky Arts in the UK on June 19.
