All things being equal, Charli D’Amelio should the a fixture of the Young Hollywood of the 2020s. That girl can dance! And she has star presence in spades.
But can she act, is the age old question.
I don’t know if she can or not, but she’s so young — only 18 — that I’m sure she can afford to take acting lessons, if nothing else. That’s the thing about Hollywood and starlets, you just never know.
You never know who is going to live up their obvious potential and who isn’t. It’s all very strange. I’m sure most of the reason why all these strange things happen in Hollywood is backstage drama and antics that we may never know about.
But Ms. D’Amelio definitely has stage presence. Her recent stint on Dancing With The Stars was a star making turn, at least in my opinion. Her performance on that show should at least get her foot in the door, should get her in the mind of casting directors for the next teen horror movie or romcom.
Maybe she and Pete Davidson will find themselves in a movie at some point. Who knows. I look forward to seeing what happens next with her.
