AceShowbiz - Charli XCX, renowned pop star and recent Grammy-nominated artist, is branching out into the realm of acting with zeal. The transition is marked by her involvement in Cathy Yan's highly-anticipated film "The Gallerist".

The movie boasts an impressive cast, including Jenna Ortega, Natalie Portman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Zach Galifianakis, Sterling K. Browne, Daniel Bruhl and Da'Vine Joy Randolph. According to Deadline, the movie centers on a gallerist trying to sell a dead body at the prestigious Art Basel in Miami, and it promises to be a unique blend of intrigue and dark humor. Written by Yan and James Pedersen, filming is set to kick off at the end of this year.

Charli's venture into acting doesn't stop there. She is also starring in Pete Ohs' directed film "Erupcja", which she shot in Poland over the summer. Speaking about the project to Variety, Charli shared, "The way [Ohs] talked about making his films felt akin to making an album and the chance meeting also felt equivalent to the conversational and spontaneous nature of his filmmaking. Our processes felt linked in some kind of way and it felt right and exciting to pursue some kind of collaboration."

Additionally, Charli is expected to headline with Olivia Wilde in the upcoming thriller "I Want Your Sex", further expanding her presence on the silver screen. This series of roles marks a significant step in Charli's pivot towards acting, following her previous voice roles in "The Angry Birds Movie" in 2016 and "UglyDolls" in 2019.

As 2025 approaches, Charli is coming off what is arguably the biggest year of her music career. Her latest album "Brat" was dubbed the best album of 2024 by Rolling Stone and is up for Album of the Year at the upcoming Grammys. She's also nominated for six more Grammys including Record of the Year for "360" and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Guess" featuring Billie Eilish.
