India, April 19 -- S inger-actor Charli XCX says she has no plans to switch to her real name as she steps into films this year. In an interview with PEOPLE, the 33-year-old, born Charlotte Emma Aitchison, said she briefly considered using her birth name for acting but decided against it. "I spoke to a couple of people about whether I should change that. I'm on the fence about it. Charli Aitchison is not super-popping, though," she said, adding, "Oh, I'm never gonna be Charlotte. Come on." Charli XCX is set to appear in multiple projects this year, including I Want Your Sex, The Moment, Erupcja and a remake of Faces of Death. She also opened up about stepping into acting, admitting she initially felt out of place on set. "It can be scary to leave something behind that you're known for, then risk it all trying to do something else," she said, adding that she is keen to learn from actors and directors she admires. Alongside acting, the singer revealed she is working on her eighth studio album and is considering a shift towards rock after the success of Brat. "I think the dance floor is dead, so now we're making rock music," she said, adding that she wants her next project to feel more "internal" and "quiet". ANi...
