The pop star has called him “Mr. Brat” after sharing photos of the two in Ibiza Fans have noticed Kyle MacLachlan ’s recent online admiration of Charli XCX and ‘Brat’ – and now he has discussed how his Twin Peaks character is “Brat-coded”, while Charli has shared fan snaps of the two together in Ibiza. The actor – who played Dale Cooper in the original two seasons of Twin Peaks , its prequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me , and its 2017 revival – played doppelgangers of his main character, one of whom was named Dougie Jones.
In the show, Dougie Jones wore a prominent lime-green jacket, which fans have recently compared with the album artwork of Charli XCX’s latest album. In an interview with GQ , published last Tuesday (July 9), writer Paula Mejia brings up a social media post of someone calling his Dougie Jones jacket “Brat-coded”. “Love that,” MacLachlan responded.
“Funny enough, I hadn’t even thought about that until I saw it. I was like, ‘Oh my god, we set the trend.’” They discussed about how MacLachlan’s recent social media presence has been infatuated with ‘Brat’ – from changing his Instagram profile photo to say ‘Kyle’ in the same font as ‘Brat’, to starring in a TikTok set to ‘the girl, so confusing remix with Lorde’ , a song he found “fresh” and “cool”.
The writer shares that fans have called him an “honorary it girl” for his ‘Brat’ fandom, to which he expressed his flattery and laughs. .
