Charli XCX makes acting debut at Sundance Film Festival

Charli XCX showcased her acting debuts at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday (January 23), appearing in three films premiering at the event, including the quasi-mockumentary, The Moment. During a press conference, the 33-year-old Grammy winner explained her transition from music to acting, saying “Right now, I’m like — like me in the film — I’m really wanting Brat to stop. I think for all of us as artists, it’s like, you wanna challenge yourself and you wanna totally switch the creative soup that you’re in.” The singer also stars in Gregg Araki‘s I Want Your Sex and Cathy Yan‘s The Gallerist at the festival. Discussing her character in The Moment, she said “I’m obviously quite related to my character, so I had a lot of inspiration to pull from. I would like to think I’m not as much of a nightmare as Charli in the film.” The Moment opens in theaters on January 30. (Rolling Stone)
