In 2015, the English model and actress Cara Delevingne made headlines beyond her cinematic pursuits due to a now-infamous interview on Good Morning Sacramento. The awkward interview that started with one of the hosts referring to her as “Carla” quickly went from bad to worse. The interaction between the actress and the show hosts was soon one of the topics of discussion on social media.

Cara Delevingne’s Awkward Interview That Went Viral
Following her acting debut in the early 2010s, Cara Delevingne landed one of the initial leading roles alongside Nat Wolff in the 2015 film Paper Towns. While promoting the movie, she appeared on Good Morning Sacramento.
The interview went viral, mostly due to the awkward interaction between the actress and the show hosts. The now-infamous interview started with one of the hosts addressing Delevingne as “Carla.” Upon being asked how she manages several projects, she answered, “I don’t know where that comes from.”
Her sarcastic responses continued when asked if she could relate to her character in the movie. “No, I actually hate her,” she replied. The lack of enthusiasm in the actress prompted the show hosts to suggest that she might be exhausted and humorously advised her to “take a little nap, maybe get a Red Bull.”
The interaction divided the internet, with many pointing out the rude behavior of the show hosts and others calling Delevingne out for her unprofessionalism. Even The View host, Whoopi Goldberg, didn’t hold back when it came to addressing the entire situation on her talk show.
