Charli XCX in Martin Scorsese's new film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence

Charli XCX will join the cast of Martin Scorsese's upcoming film. According to Variety, the British popstar will make a cameo appearance in "What Happens At Night", the US director's new psychological thriller, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. The two play a married couple who travel to a small European town to adopt a child. The film, co-produced by Apple and StudioCanal, does not yet have a release date. The collaboration comes after Scorsese's appearance on the cover of "Music, Fashion, Film", where the filmmaker stood alongside John Cale and designer Marc Jacobs, bringing together the three worlds evoked by the album's title.

For Charli – born Charlotte Emma Aitchison – this marks a further step in an increasingly intense cinematic journey. The singer has taken part in Gregg Araki's "I Want Your Sex", Pete Ohs's "Erupcja", and "The Moment", the mockumentary directed by Aidan Zamiri dedicated to her "Brat" era. On top of these commitments is the soundtrack for Emerald Fennell's "Wuthering Heights", which includes "House", her first collaboration with John Cale, as well as musical contributions to "Mother Mary", an A24 production. It's a leaning toward the big screen that Charli handles with self-deprecating humor too: on "Camera", a track from "Music, Fashion, Film", she wonders whether it makes any sense to try becoming an actress as she approaches thirty-four. Meanwhile, the Scorsese cameo adds another high-profile project to her filmography.
