Cara Delevingne is to make her television debut alongside 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 fiance, a soldier serving in Afghanistan. The story is described as an “engaging tale of love, loss and hope.”
The role marks the fulfilment of a long held ambition for Delevingne, who has said that acting is her real passion: “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.”
