She added: “Just be smart and kind to yourself.”
Delevingne has spoken openly about her own path to sobriety, which began in earnest in late 2022 after a period of exhaustion and distressing photographs of her.
She then checked into a treatment centre and committed to a 12-step programme.
She has also talked about her struggles with depression and anxiety, and the ongoing work of staying sober, and has described self-blame and isolation as obstacles to recovery.
Club Kid is a comedy-drama written and directed by Jordan Firstman.
Delevingne plays Sophie, an underground nightlife partner who takes on unexpected responsibilities alongside an ensemble cast. She attended the premiere with her partner, the musician Minke.
