Why Did Charli xcx Want to Pose for Playboy?
On her motivation for posing for Playboy:
“I’ve wanted to shoot with Playboy for a while. It’s such an iconic magazine, of course. I love the logo. I love underwear. I love female bodies. I love full-out sexiness.”
On shooting her Playboy cover on a boat on the Thames:
“That was Aidan‘s [idea]. The tourists were into it.”
On what defines a sexy photograph:
“To me, a sexy photo is something that captures someone’s true essence. It’s not necessarily a perfect photo. It can be raw, messy, perhaps a little vulnerable at points. I think a sexy photo shows the truth.”
On Kylie Jenner’s acting performance in her film The Moment:
“I was just like, damn, this is going to be easy. You were just so funny, and your improv was effortless. I had fun shooting with you. And it was the last thing we shot for the entire film, so it felt really special.”
On body confidence, sexuality, and feeling sexy:
“I feel quite comfortable in underwear. I feel sexy in underwear, and I feel sexy in a fully tailored suit. When I feel sexy, I feel confident. Sex, sexuality, and confidence are all very sacred things to me. If I could feel them on the max, all the time, then I would.”
On when she feels most confident:
“When I’m on stage and when I’m with George.”
On her favorite iconic Playboy covers:
“I think it’s hard to pick one, but some of my favorites are the Pamela Anderson ones. I particularly like the cover where she’s wearing the Vivienne Westwood sex choker. I love a lot of the Anna Nicole [Smith] covers. The Carmen Electra cover where she’s holding the electric guitar is really good. The Dolly Parton cover is amazing.”
On what a Playboy Bunny should never apologize for:
“A Playboy Bunny should never apologize for anything.”
Why Does Charli xcx Think Jack Black Is Sexy?
On why she thinks Jack Black has sex appeal:
“Sure, like Jack Black‘s sexy. Yeah, he’s funny. He’s talented. He’s cool. He’s original, you know? I think that makes people sexy when they’re just doing their thing.”
On her stubborn nature and staying true to herself:
“Honestly, the only person whose opinion can change my mind is my own. I’m quite stubborn.”
What Did Charli xcx Say About Her Marriage to George Daniel?
On her relaxed perspective on marriage with husband George Daniel:
“We’re very kind of like casual and relaxed with the whole marriage thing…it means a lot to us, but also at the same time, it’s like we could completely do without it, and we kind of would be as equally in love if we weren’t married…it fits, but it’s not like a high pressure kind of a word for me.”
What Toxic Relationship Trait Does Charli xcx Find Attractive?
On a toxic relationship trait she finds attractive:
