Cara Delevingne has admitted she was utterly clueless while meeting a rock legend.

In 2022, the pair met Bruce Springsteen, but Delevingne had no idea who he was.

"We teach each other so many things. Two years ago we were backstage at Glastonbury and we took a photo with this guy," Delevingne explained. 

"I said to Leah afterwards, who was that?" It turned out that Springsteen made a surprise appearance during Paul McCartney's set.

"She was like, 'What? That was Bruce Springsteen!' I had no idea what he looked like. She thinks that's blasphemy," Delevingne recalled. 

During the interview, the American Horror Story actress also shared that she and Mason love listening to live music, but their taste is very different.

"Leah likes old rock, Fleetwood Mac, whereas I like R&B and old-school hip-hop, like the Notorious BIG," Delevingne said.

"And I love the wave of lesbians in music now, like Chappell Roan and Reneé Rapp."

The supermodel also previously opened up about her previous struggles with substance abuse that unfolded in the public eye. 

Delevingne still attends parties and festivals, saying she isn't concerned if those around her choose to drink.

The model recently attended Glastonbury whilst sober: "It smelt bad, my feet hurt, and I didn't stay up so late, but it was just as much fun. I never want my life to change in that way."

After the Burning Man festival in 2022, Delevingne was photographed by paparazzi in a car park.

The Carnival Row star says the photos played a part in encouraging her to become sober: "Listen, I signed up for this, this is my job, it's what I do. But without that, would I be sober now?"

Delevingne recently starred in London's West End's Cabaret: "I would have never been Sally Bowles in the West End, I'm super proud of that."
