Charisma isn't something that's there or not there for everyone, like green paint. How you come across to others will differ based on their biases.
I don't consider charisma very much because I connect it to dishonesty. If someone's put a lot of effort into coming across as charismatic, it means they have considerable skill in psychological and social manipulation. I would value that in a salesman, where it makes sense. Otherwise it's just masking 2.0.
The primary concerns in an interview should be "can you do the job" and "can we bear to work with you". The rest can be worked with.
