Cara Delevingne: "Since childhood I have felt that I was not good enough, that it was a fraud"

• Album: 'Carnival Row' premiere in Los Angeles

There is nothing light in the fantasy of Carnival Row , the new series that Amazon premieres this weekend and with which it intends to continue its assault on the throne of Netflix and HBO. Refugee crisis, classism, murders, black love ... the fiction starring Cara Delevingne and Orlando Bloom manages to combine the darkest essence of the human being through a Victorian world full of fairies and fauns.

"Fantasy, in addition to entertaining, allows you to see the issues with objectivity, that is, do not approach them in a way that is customary for you, which I hope will serve to keep the conversation alive regarding truly important issues," he explains. Bloom during his interview with THE WORLD in London. In the plot, the actor of Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings plays Rycroft Philostrate, a former military officer turned into a detective who investigates a series of mysterious and brutal murders in the low funds of the city of Burge.

"Luckily the series has that part of fantasy, because if not more than one viewer would not reach the second episode. I have the impression that people no longer want to see sad things, they just want to be happy , and although this series also contributes we are not here just to entertain, "challenges Delevingne, who debuts in the world of the small screen after his still brief passage through Hollywood. "Sadly we are killing the magic in this world, but as long as there is love there will still be hope. The problem is that we will realize that magic when it is gone, instead of valuing it now that we still have it."

In Carnival Row the Londoner, who comes from a wealthy family in the British capital, plays Vignette Stonemoss, a refugee fairy who has to serve as a maid in the mansion of some young aristocrats. "Any human being, or I hope that the majority, has the ability to empathize with others and even to feel themselves that they did not fit. Since I was a child, and this is not my family's fault, I have felt that it was not Good enough, that it was a small fraud or I have asked myself if I had a real home and if I should try to find one inside myself. This is how I faced this character, especially for the fact of being a woman " , Delevingne explains to this newspaper.

The series, which has already been renewed for a second season, presents a city wounded by the shame of having lost a war and bothered by the arrival of some refugee creatures of fantasy that remind him of his own failure. "We explore among other things how the rulers create fear to confront us and how that is destroying everything. There are characters that represent that fear of the unknown and seem very interesting to me," adds the actress.

It is very interesting to explore the situation we are experiencing globally through the lenses of fantasy

" I find it very interesting to explore the situation we are currently experiencing globally through the lenses of fantasy . It is one of the good things about this series, Travis Beacham wrote it 20 years ago and addresses issues that are even more relevant at the present time, it is not as if the refugee crisis happened 100 years ago, which is quite tragic, "confirms Bloom, who has said he is grateful for the opportunity involved in developing a character beyond the duration of a movie.

"I was very intrigued with Philo, I wanted him to have a bit of a superhero and I thought his superpower could be that he was an empathetic person," analyzes the Canterbury actor about his character. "He is someone who has always been within the institutions, in the orphanage, the army and the police, and wanted to understand how that could affect the human psyche, how the secret he has could help him be a better version of himself and confront him with his past. "

The inspector is also one of the few voices that the refugees, the different, have within the institutions, who prefer to look to stop somewhere else and let them solve their own problems.

" The hardest thing about the refugee issue is that people are not talking enough about it . We listen a lot to the voices of those in power but not of those who are having a really bad time," Delevingne explains. "Thanks to a series like this we can see both sides of the story and that those who would prefer to ignore everything that is happening and everything that others are suffering face it through fantasy. It will be easier for them being open to that conversation, digesting something like this and realizing that it is something that affects them, moves them and helps them empathize. "
