Charli XCX Scores Cameo in Martin Scorsese's What Happens At Night With DiCaprio and Lawrence

Charli XCX is officially in her Scorsese era. The singer has a cameo in Martin Scorsese’s What Happens At Night, the gothic psychological drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as a married American couple who travel to a small, snowy European town to adopt a baby and end up questioning who they really are. It’s Scorsese’s follow-up to 2023’s Killers Of The Flower Moon, so the prestige level is off the charts.

The full-circle moment here is real: Charli posed with Scorsese for the cover of her album Music, Fashion, Film, and now she’s actually in one of his films. Her reps declined to comment, but the casting is out. And it’s not a random one-off. Her film résumé keeps growing, with roles in The Moment, 100 Nights Of Hero, Erupcja, I Want Your Sex and the upcoming heist thriller The Gallerist starring Natalie Portman.

Charli has also called her own acting“inherently cringe”and praised Scorsese’s encyclopedic film knowledge, which makes the whole thing feel refreshingly genuine. So the question is: are you here for Charli the pop star, Charli the actor, or both? Sound off in the comments.
