Charli XCX loves "Rock Music," but there's one unlikely rocker who's captured her heart.
The Grammy-winning pop star opened up about her Hollywood crush, Jack Black, in a new interview with Kylie Jenner for Playboy magazine.
Black, an actor, comedian and musician, who makes up one-half of the comedy rock duo Tenacious D, is best known for his zany on-screen persona and comedic roles in films such as "High Fidelity," "Shallow Hal," "School of Rock," "Nacho Libre" and "Tropic Thunder." In 2003's "School of Rock," a favorite of Charli XCX's, Black plays struggling musician Dewey Finn, who takes up a job as a substitute teacher at an elementary school after being kicked out of his band.
"Sure, like, Jack Black's sexy," Charli XCX, 34, told Jenner in
the Sept. 16 cover story. "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."
Charli XCX gets candid on husband George Daniel
Jack Black might light up the big screen for Charli XCX, but George Daniel is her real-life heartthrob.
The "Playboy Bunny" singer opened up about married life with The 1975 drummer in her conversation with Jenner. Charli XCX married Daniel, 36, in July 2025 after three years of dating.
"We're very kind of, like, casual and relaxed with the whole marriage thing," Charli XCX said. "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."
Charli XCX on 'special' movie collaboration with Kylie Jenner
For Charli XCX, Kylie Jenner is the whole showbiz package.
The singer, who starred as a fictionalized version of herself in the mockumentary "The Moment," reflected on working with the reality TV star and beauty mogul in the film. Jenner, 29, made her acting debut in "The Moment," which also starred Francesca Faridany, Errol Barnett and Rachel Sennott.
"I was just like, 'Damn, this is going to be easy,'" Charli XCX said of Jenner's performance. "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."
