Cara Delevingne has landed her biggest acting role to date. The beautiful model will play Margo in the adaptation of John Green’s “Paper Towns.”
Delevingne is best known as a model but she’s starting to make some headway as an actress. She had a small part in Anna Karenina and also had a part in the thriller The Face Of An Angel. Now she’s landed the female lead Margo in Paper Towns.
John Green congratulated the actress on Twitter.
Cara Delevigne’s audition blew everyone away (including me!) and she understands Margo profoundly. I am so excited!

“@jakeschreier: @realjohngreen @Caradelevingne seconded. It was something special.” Thank you so much guys!! I am so excited! Ahhhh! X

What do you think of the casting choice? Will Cara Delevingne be a good Margo? Regardless of what you think about the casting choice, Fox 2000 probably has another hit on its hand.
The Fault in Our Stars was a box office hit, gaining $280 million worldwide, and John Green’s audience has only grown since then.
