Charli xcx has been on the receiving end of these prank calls before, so she’s understandably nervous to finally be the one making them. In this episode of “Phoning It In,” the star of ‘The Moment’ dials up Dakota Johnson to ask her to temporarily house a horse her husband won at a party, calls Role Model for help firing their shared manager, pitches Rachel Sennott a romance film where she plays a cow, and convinces Adéla that her stylist was arrested for shoplifting. By the end, Charli feels like she’s coming down from a wild ride, but she’s already welcoming the inevitable moment when the prank calls come back around.

Watch 'The Moment' in theaters now and 'Wuthering Heights' on February 13.

00:00She was like, let me just hear you moo, and so I went, moo, like, can you, like, maybe you should try it.
00:06Just see how it feels.
00:08Are you pranking me?
00:11Hey, I'm Charlie XCX, and this is Phoning It In with Elle.
00:16I have been a victim of this show before two times.
00:20I'm practically shaking. I'm so nervous.
00:23I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm seriously shitting myself.
00:27I'm fucking freaking out.
00:30I'm going to call Dakota Johnson, and I'm going to tell her she needs to house a horse that my husband just won at a party.
00:43Hello, Angel.
00:45Hey, babe. How are you doing?
00:48I'm okay, thanks. How are you?
00:49I'm good. I'm good.
00:52Are you in LA right now?
00:54Yeah.
00:55Okay, okay. I'm, like, sorry in advance.
00:57I'm just, I'm really stressed. I'm really stressed. I'm really stressed.
01:00Okay, okay, okay.
01:02Do you like animals?
01:03Sorry, that sounds stupid, but this is actually a big part of the thing.
01:07Yeah, yeah.
01:08Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, good.
01:12That is, like, a really good thing.
01:13Okay.
01:13Okay.
01:14Basically, last night, George and Mattie went to this party.
01:20I have literally got no fucking idea where they went, but they won a horse in, like,
01:28I don't even know how they fucking won this horse, Dakota, but they won a horse.
01:33No, it's not funny.
01:35I don't know.
01:36I don't know.
01:36I don't know, but they won this horse.
01:38Okay, now it's, like, in this trailer, driving around LA, and they're, like, on me to, like,
01:45find a place to put this horse.
01:47Could I, like, keep it in your garden for a bit?
01:52Am I getting pranked by Elle magazine again?
01:57Fuck, I knew it!
01:58I told you, she would know!
02:01Apples!
02:03Yes.
02:03Charlie, also, by the way, when you start to fake cry, I believe you every time.
02:09Ah!
02:10Well, that's good.
02:11Oh, my God.
02:12Okay, okay, well done.
02:14So, no horses for you.
02:15Oh, my God, I love this so much.
02:17Thank you for being a great sport.
02:20Love you.
02:21Bye.
02:22Bye.
02:23Bye.
02:23Bye.
02:27Guys, that was really stressful.
02:30How do you feel?
02:31Like, still really nervous, but at least one's down.
02:36Oh, my God, oh, my God.
02:38Okay, next up, I'm going to call Role Model, and I am going to ask him to help me find my manager.
02:48Hi, it's Tucker.
02:49Hi, how you doing?
02:52Hi, I'm good, how are you?
02:54I'm doing really good.
02:55What are you doing right now?
02:56I am about to drive over to your girlfriend's house.
03:01Oh, fun.
03:02Okay, really, really quickly, I have...
03:06How much money do you need?
03:08All of your money.
03:09I need all of your money.
03:10No, actually, this is, like, kind of a serious thing.
03:12Remember how when I did SNL, I was like, you owe me a favor?
03:18Yeah, I owe you many, yeah.
03:19I'm cashing that favor in now.
03:22Is it the audition thing?
03:24No, it's not that.
03:25It's a different thing.
03:26Okay.
03:27Okay.
03:27It's actually kind of an intense thing, though.
03:30So, as you know, we have the same manager, and I really want to fire Brandon, and I really
03:36need your help to do it.
03:40Yeah, I'm not that guy.
03:42But please, like, I need help right now, because he's literally, like, on Zoom, and I just feel
03:49like if you are there on the Zoom with me, then he won't be as upset, because you're, like,
03:55a new client of his, and that could be, like, really helpful.
04:00Totally.
04:00I just, I think as a gay man, he shouldn't, we probably should keep him around.
04:06But, but totally.
04:08I do have a lot of gay men in my life.
04:11He's amazing and great, but I just feel like I'm looking for a straight man to manage
04:16me now.
04:17Really?
04:19Yeah.
04:19Well, do you think that's a bad idea?
04:22No, I just think that I was in my head this whole time going, hmm, I wonder if she's, like,
04:27lying, and this is a prank, and then right there.
04:29Fuck!
04:29That last line.
04:30Fuck!
04:32Of you thinking you need a straight man to manage you, was the cherry on top.
04:36Oh, God!
04:38You knew it.
04:39Damn, by the way, for the record, I love Brandon, I would never fire him, he's the best manager
04:42in the world.
04:44But, well done.
04:46Bye, babe.
04:46Bye, babe.
04:48When he was, like, I'm not your guy, I was, like, oh, it's really serious.
04:53Okay, I'm going to call Rachel Sennett and ask her to appear in a new film with me about
05:03a woman who falls in love with a cow, and she would be playing the cow.
05:10Hello?
05:12Hello!
05:13How are you doing?
05:14I'm good, I'm just driving to this meeting.
05:19How are you?
05:19I actually just had a crazy meeting with my agent.
05:23So, you know how we've been, like, looking for a project together for ages, and we've
05:28just, like, never found the right one, but we're like, oh my God, we're going to find
05:30the thing.
05:31Okay, this could be the one.
05:34It could be, like, the fucking one.
05:38It's a little bit, like, kind of a bit strange, like, on the surface, but it is actually just,
05:44like, an amazing, like, amazingly well-written, like, romance story.
05:48Yeah.
05:49And so, basically, it's a live-action film about a woman who falls in love with a cow,
05:56and, like, one of us would play the woman.
05:58Is the woman the cow?
06:00It's the woman and the cow.
06:01It's the woman and the cow, and those are the two, like, joint lead roles on the call
06:06sheet, like, one-on-one, woman and cow.
06:09You are, like, more funny than me, so I kind of think, like, maybe you would be playing
06:13the cow.
06:15What do you think?
06:17Um, okay, wait, so, I'm only asking because I haven't seen it, but I'm, like, so is it,
06:23like, a comedy comedy, or is it, like, a romance, like?
06:29Like, is there a sex scene?
06:30Well, I'm just, like, what's the, the tone?
06:36Because I was, like, because it sounds super interesting.
06:38It's just, like, it could go, like, I'm, like, is it, like, so horny?
06:43Oh, my God, she fucks this cow?
06:45Or is it, like, ha-ha, she's fucking a cow?
06:49Like, like, what's the vibe of the, the, the, the, something?
06:52Yeah, like, what's the balance?
06:53What's the balance?
06:54I, I mean, at the minute there is, like, a light sex scene in the script, but I, no, no,
07:04but I, but I, but I, I know, no, but I think they want us to be in it so much that we could
07:09probably, sorry, this coughs really bad, but I think we could probably just, like, nix that,
07:16or we, like, cut away right before.
07:18It's, I would say it's more rom-com.
07:20Yeah, I mean, yeah.
07:21I'm not afraid of a sex scene.
07:22I feel like I'm more, okay, it's more rom-com.
07:25I guess I'm just more wondering, like, I think I would, I would need to probably read it.
07:31You'd need to read it.
07:32You know, to get the tone.
07:34I will send you the script, but, like, one of the big things, and honestly, like, this
07:39is so crazy, like, when I just took my meeting with my agent, she literally made me do this
07:44in the meeting, and I was like, Ali, like, I'm not going to do that, but she was like,
07:48let me just hear you moo, and so I went, moo, like, can you, like, maybe you should try it.
07:53Just see how it feels.
07:59Just go moo, go moo, moo.
08:02Sorry, I've really got something in my throat.
08:04Just do it with a moo.
08:05Oh, my God.
08:09Are you pranking me?
08:13Yes!
08:15Oh, my fucking God.
08:17I am.
08:18I literally was like, by the way, there was 30 seconds where I was down.
08:24I know, I love you for that.
08:26I'm actually scared for the part of me that was really down to fuck you as a cow.
08:31I know.
08:31I'm scared.
08:32Love you.
08:33Love you.
08:33Thank you so much.
08:34I love you.
08:35Bye.

08:38That was really, really hard.
08:40To be honest, I'm really surprised that she bought that.
08:46Okay, cool.
08:47For the last one, I am going to call Adela, and I'm going to use Chris, my stylist's phone,
08:52and I am going to tell her that he got arrested for shoplifting.

09:31but he got like caught shoplifting, and then he got like, I don't know, the store saw, like
09:41the police came in, he got arrested, and I'm just like really freaking out.
09:45I don't know what to do.
