Charli XCX

In The Moment, Charli xcx’s mockumentary about the hell of being – and extending – her brand, the actor plays her stressball manager Tim, the man in the middle of the chaos, to perfection.

With at least eight upcoming projects under her belt, Charli has firmly broken out from the confines of pop stardom to embrace the world of film. So what does her presence bring to the big screen?

In her feature debut, Bertie, together with director Aidan Zamiri, brings the playful wit and satire of her anti-commercial magazine project to Charli xcx’s world of celebrity.

The 22-year-old actor has come a long way since his film debut in Licorice Pizza. Now he goes even further in Stephen King’s The Long Walk – and waaay further in Gregg Araki’s dominatrix drama I Want Your Sex.

If it's good enough for Charli xcx's wedding party, it's good enough for us.

The legendary director on his most vulnerable, revealing film yet, The Shrouds, and the fact he and Charli xcx are digital pen pals. Or, at least, that’s how he makes it sound.
