Charli XCX graces the cover of Playboy, and the interview comes courtesy of Kylie Jenner, which is a pairing nobody saw coming and everybody needed. When asked what she finds sexy, Charli didn’t name a model or a movie star with a jawline. She named Jack Black, praising him as funny, talented, cool, and original. Her logic is simple: people who do their own thing are the ones who radiate it.
She didn’t hold back anywhere else either. Charli copped to being“a tiny bit avoidant”and admitted it’s a toxic trait she finds hot, and she got real about touring, saying she respects artists who can handle it at an intense, high-octane level but isn’t one of those people herself. That honesty lands differently in an era where everyone acts like exhaustion is a comp flex.
Meanwhile, her US“Music, Fashion, Film”tour is in full swing with Underscores opening, and she just announced 2027 UK and EU headline dates, including a stop at London’s O2 on February 19. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9am BST. So, whose take are you buying here: Charli’s, that originality beats looks every time?
