The singer is on the cover of  Playboy , where she was interviewed by model and The Moment co-star Kylie Jenner.

Though the full interview is only available to subscribers, one particular topic has made the rounds: what the ‘Guess’ singer finds sexy.

Charli described “being, like, a tiny bit avoidant” as the “toxic” trait she thinks is “hot, unfortunately”. However, she also revealed to Jenner a celebrity that she finds sexy.

“Sure, like, Jack Black’s sexy,” Charli told Jenner. “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 recently kicked off her US ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ tour dates , where she invited tour opener Underscores on stage to perform ‘Do It’.

She also announced headline UK and EU tour dates , which includes a giant show at London’s O2.

Though fans were initially disappointed when Charli revealed the tour to last six nights, she responded by explaining that touring is “really emotionally and physically hard for me” .

“I am not looking for sympathy and I have a huge amount of respect for artists who can handle it at an intense, lengthy and high octane level, but I am just not one of those human beings and I never have been,” she added.

Elsewhere, we reviewed Charli’s headline slot at Reading 2026 in a four-star review, who ended her set with a performance of ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ featuring director David Cronenberg.

We wrote: “As his sermon gets chopped up and repeated for effect (“They are dead. They are gone. No one lasts forever”), Charli and her dancers gather on one platform, the star in the centre, frozen in a power stance staring straight out at the crowd. It’s an incredibly powerful ending – almost emotional in its confidence and confrontation. If only the whole set could have landed quite as hard.”
