Charli XCX has expressed openness to contributing a theme song to the James Bond franchise, though she humorously doubts her fit due to her heavy use of auto-tune in her electropop style.
Thoughts on a Potential Bond Collaboration
The 33-year-old Grammy winner shared her views during an appearance on The Julia Cunningham Show. She stated, “I got to say, I don’t think that I am built for that. I think I probably sing with too much Auto-Tune to do a James Bond. Never say never.”
She added, “I’m open to it if they want to call me, which they won’t but, yeah. I think it might not be a fit, but that’s, well, yeah. It’s not going to happen now, is it? So amazing. I don’t know.”
Spotlight on Upcoming Film ‘The Moment’
These remarks come ahead of the release of her highly anticipated film, The Moment, which chronicles her career-defining BRAT era. The project, described by Charli as a ‘tour mockumentary,’ explores her journey leading up to her first headline tour, blending personal and public narratives.
The film delves into how subculture evolves amid commercial success, featuring record executives debating ways to extend the ‘brat summer’ phenomenon indefinitely.
Red Carpet Premiere Highlights
At the Los Angeles premiere on Thursday at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills, Charli turned heads in a form-fitting gray corset paired with a black PVC bra and matching hot pants. She accessorized with a faux fur shawl, sheer tights, and black heels, drawing cheers from fans along the red carpet.
Kylie Jenner joined her, making her acting debut in the film by portraying herself. Jenner showcased her toned midriff in a ruffled sleeveless blouse and a low-rise black maxi skirt, striking poses outside the venue.
Film Details and Release Information
Directed by Aidan Zamiri, The Moment premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City over the weekend. The trailer, released in December, mixes concert footage with scripted scenes starring Hollywood talents like Alexander Skarsgård and Rachel Sennott.
In the opening, Charli reflects, “Don’t you just think the whole, like, ‘Keep having a Brat Summer!’ thing is a bit cringe? The label is like, ‘More Brat, Brat, Brat, Brat, Brat, forever,’ and you know, maybe they are right. Urgh for f***’s sake.”
She also grapples with fame, saying, “Everyone’s so desperate for me to be f***ing innovative all the time. And f***ing cool!” Jenner responds in the trailer, “The second people are getting sick of you, that’s when you need to go even harder.”
The film enters limited release now, with a nationwide rollout scheduled for February 6. Select U.S. theaters began screenings on January 30.
