Lindsey Buckingham is living that life, Von Dutch.
On Wednesday, May 14, the Fleetwood Mac legend and his daughter Leelee Buckingham shared a video of them watching Charli xcx’s “Von Dutch” music video as a part of their “Lindsey + Leelee React” video series. Lindsey, 75, had thoughts about the topsy-turvy clip.
“I’m not that familiar with [her],” he said at the start of the video, noting that he did see her on Saturday Night Live. “I hear good things.”
Leelee, 25, asked her father if he had a “Brat summer” before they dove in. “The brattiest,” he deadpanned.
Charli’s chaotic “Von Dutch” music video takes place at the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. At the start, she struts while taking off her pants.
“She’s getting kind of saucy already,” said Lindsey. “That’s not a good place to get saucy.”
The video then cuts to Charli, 32, on an airplane and then on a tarmac, spitting and banging her head onto the camera lens. “She bleeds on the lens and she spits,” the musician observes, before adding that he doesn’t think the “Apple” singer “bled for real.”
“I don’t think so, Dad,” Leelee replied as Charli continues to attack the camera.
When Charli starts walking on the wing of the parked airplane, Lindsey is gobsmacked, considering there’s a sign that says not to do that.
“I can’t believe she got away with all this,” he said.

“I’m surprised the airport let her do all this stuff,” he added after Charli falls into a cart carrying luggage. Leelee suggested he ask for the same treatment for his own music video. “[To me] they would go, ‘Get away. Get out of here,’ ” Lindsey said.
The music video concludes with an exhausted and bloody Charli on the baggage claim carousel.
“I thought it was very entertaining,” Lindsey said at the music video’s conclusion. “There was so much going on, and all in the context of a normally-restrictive environment, paranoid environment, uptight environment — that set the whole thing off very well, I thought.”
The “Von Dutch” music video was nominated at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Cinematography thanks to Nikita Kuzmenko’s work. The song was the lead single off her album Brat.
In 2024, she spoke to Vogue about filming the music video. “When we found out we were going to shoot most of the video in Charles de Gaulle I kind of couldn’t believe it,” she told the publication. “I knew it was going to be amazing.”

“I was in a harness so I was safe, but it had rained just before the shot and the plane wing had this massive curve to it — so sometimes I would just randomly slip and fall and slide towards the edge of the wing, which was terrifying,” Charli added. “Fun though!”
