The Charli XCX, Benicio Del Toro, and Graham Norton appearance delivered an unexpectedly awkward yet humorous moment during the latest episode of the popular talk show.
The British singer-songwriter found herself revisiting a public Letterboxd review she once wrote about One Battle After Another. Host Graham Norton brought up her comments while Del Toro, who stars in the 2025 film, sat beside her.
Charli, known for sharing honest film opinions on her Letterboxd profile, had written: “I think I’m beginning to realise that I am just obsessed with Benicio.”
