Charli XCX, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, is embarking on a new chapter in her career as she delves into the realm of acting. Her foray into the industry has been propelled by her role in the upcoming film "Erupcja." The Brat artist, who secured her debut acting role in the romantic comedy, revealed that working with director Daniel Goldhaber on a minor part in the remake of the 1978 horror film "Faces of Death" was an "absolutely amazing" experience.
In a recent interview with Vogue, Charli expressed her sentiments about her role with great enthusiasm. She said, "I went in feeling like, 'What the f*** am I doing here?' I was like, 'OK, let me just see how this makes me feel.' And it made me feel really amazing."
This experience ignited a desire within the 33-year-old British singer-songwriter for more creative and challenging roles. Charli shared, "I have a hunger to learn and understand how other people do it." She added, "I don’t think I’ve ever felt like, ‘Wow, I killed that.’ I feel ready to do it 1,000 times if necessary."
However, Charli acknowledges that taking acting seriously while leaving behind the music career she has built over the years can be daunting. She candidly admitted that her current acting skills are "embarrassing." Despite this, working with actors and directors she admires makes her "feel so lucky," as she shared.
Her new indie movie "Erupcja" is all set to release in select theaters across the US on Friday, April 17th. The anticipation surrounding her performance and the film's release is palpable, as Charli continues to push boundaries and explore new avenues in her multifaceted career.
