Cara Delevingne: playing Victoria Beckham in Spice Girls musical would be 'career killer'

Cara Delevingne might be one of the most in-demand models of the moment - the bushy browed face of Chanel won Model of the Year at this week's British Fashion Awards - but don't expect to see her in a Victoria Beckham show or campaign anytime soon.

If her comments in today's Evening Standard are anything to go by, Beckham will be crossing the the 20-year-old off her Christmas card list.

Although the fashion-centric two share the management services of entertainment mogul Simon Fuller, aspiring actress Cara turned down the role of designer Victoria Beckham in her Spice Girls heyday in the forthcoming West End musical Viva Forever, saying it would be a "career killer."

"They said I looked like her and I said, 'That's not cool, that's really mean" Cara is quoted as saying in the newspaper.

Ouch! The Bedales-educated model starred alongside Keira Knightley with a miniscule role in this year's Anna Karenina remake. Her love of acting is clear when she says: "I want to be in movies, directing movies, writing movies. I'd love to be in a movie with Meryl Street or Martin Scorsese. There are so many different things I want to do like a possessed child or an evil something, I don't know…."

But what the Burberry model does know for certain, is that she doesn't want to be compared to Victoria Beckham.
