Charli XCX Praises Kylie Jenner’s Performance in The Moment

 

British singer and songwriter Charli XCX has praised Kylie Jenner for her acting performance in the upcoming mockumentary The Moment, saying that Jenner was “phenomenal” and truly understood what her role required. In a new interview, Charli, who co‑wrote and stars in the film, told Deadline that she felt lucky to work with such an impressive and diverse cast. The film was inspired by Charli’s real life music tour and blends scripted narrative with exaggerated actors playing versions of themselves.

Charli highlighted Jenner’s contribution, noting that she “totally got the assignment” and calling her a “really great actress,” especially for someone making a debut of this sort. She also praised other cast members, including Rachel Sennott, Rosanna Arquette, Jamie Demetriou, Hailey Benton Gates, and Alexander Skarsgard. Charli described the experience of bringing all of these talented performers together as “so fabulous,” and spoke warmly about the bond the cast formed during production.

Along with praising individual performances, Charli shared some lighthearted behind‑the‑scenes moments, mentioning that the group would often socialize and enjoy their time together off set. The Moment is set to hit theaters on January 30, 2026, and Charli’s comments have added to early buzz around the project ahead of its release.

The film’s unique approach has generated attention for its blend of reality and fiction, with much of the cast playing fictionalized versions of themselves in scenarios that reflect parallels to actual experiences in the music and entertainment industry. Charli’s enthusiastic praise of Jenner’s performance shows how collaboration across diverse creative backgrounds can enhance a project like this
