British supermodel Cara Delevingne initially refused to watch her acting in TV series `Timeless` because she was convinced her performance was "horrible".

The catwalk beauty, who made her acting debut in 2012 movie `Anna Karenina`, landed a leading role in the series, in which she plays a young woman forced to look after her great-grandmother, reports contactmusic.com.

"I couldn't watch 'Timeless' at first - I couldn't let anyone watch it, I couldn't hear it or see it, it was horrible,` she said.

"When you watch your own stuff, you can't get past your own performance... It's the same with modelling photos. I'm very critical of myself so I hate to look at my stuff but then you always want to improve. I managed to watch it in the end,` she added.

Later this year, the model will be seen in psychological thriller `The Face of an Angel`, indie film `Kids in Love` and drama `London Fields`.
