Charli xcx talks about how acting has helped her overcome fears and grow creatively
Charli xcx born Charlotte Emma Aitchison, revealed why she will never use her real name in showbiz under any circumstances.
The 1999 singer has made a huge career shift by starring in I Want Your Sex, The Moment, Erupcja and a remake of the 1978 horror film Faces of Death.
In an interview with the British Vogue the popstar addressed the question whether she would adopt a different name for her upcoming film roles.
When asked if she would be changing her stage name for her upcoming acting roles, the Apple singer said, “I spoke to a couple of people about whether I should change that.”
“I'm on the fence about it. Charli Aitchison is not super-popping though," she added. When asked about if she would go by her birth name, Charli responded, “Oh, I'm never gonna be Charlotte. Come on."
The Brat singer has a lot on her plate this year, with her multiple films coming out and her eighth studio album coming out, she opened up about her initial nerves on set and acknowledged the risk of stepping away from the music career that made her famous.
“It can be scary to leave something behind that you're known for, then risk it all trying to do something else," Charli continued, referring to her music career. "I feel so lucky to be on set with so many actors and directors I admire.”
She further explained, “I have a hunger to learn and understand how other people do it. I don't think I've ever felt like, ‘Wow, I killed that.' I feel ready to do it 1,000 times if necessary."
Elsewhere in the interview, Charli detailed her upcoming eighth studio album and revealed that she's venturing into the rock genre.
