When she’s on screen Aubrey Plaza really seems like one of the most sarcastic individuals you might ever meet, but in real life she’s quite friendly. Her acting is so great that you might think that she’s simply one of the most effective deadpan comedians around, and you wouldn’t be wrong. Her delivery is such that she comes across as kind of a snooty person sometimes, but that’s a big part of her charm. Having started her career in 2006 she’s one of those individuals that came in after the turn of the century and is now poised to take on a bigger part in Hollywood along with many others who have been working hard throughout the years to insure that they will be able to take over the reins from the older generation. Like many of those that share her generation she has definitely proven that she’s earned the distinction.
Here are a few things you might not have known about her.
10. She was very nervous to work with Robert De Niro
For some reason a lot of people had a problem with this film, but it feels as though it was more to do with something other than the subject that was being covered. Aubrey played a young woman that might have had a serious daddy complex, or a grandpa complex, since she was all over De Niro’s character. And when it came to sex scenes with the movie legend, Plaza said she was extremely nervous but that De Niro was incredibly nice and made her feel comfortable.
9. She began her career as an intern.
In fact she had a few internships throughout her early career, including one at Saturday Night Live. She’s been a busy woman when it comes to cementing her place in comedy and in Hollywood overall.
8. Chris Pratt Forgot Her Name on Parks and Recreation
In an interview, Aubrey Plaza revealed that Chris Pratt forgot her name, and it’s all because of his post- Parks rise to superstardom. “I guess when you’re the star of a Marvel movie and super, super famous and you’re flown all over the world, you meet so many people that your ability to pay attention is gone. So yeah, he forgot my name,” said Plaza. “I had to keep reminding him, and he’d say, ‘Oh right. Right, right.'”
7. She has a very deadpan delivery.
This is a part of what makes people think that she might be kind of hard to approach since that level of sarcasm is hard to get by with some people. But for Aubrey it’s all an act since in truth she’s a rather nice person.
6. She was in Funny People.
A lot of folks thought that this movie was going to be hilarious since it starred a few notable comedians and was hyped up as something that could be quite entertaining. The only problem was that it wasn’t what people expected and was a lot more dramatic than anything. People always forget that Plaza was in it.
5. She’s a Netflix junkie.
Even the stars have their favorite things to do when they’re at home and even celebrities love to binge on Netflix at times since after working so hard it’s necessary to take some time off and just enjoy yourself as you watch hour upon hour of your favorite shows.
4. She admits that working makes her feel normal.
Aubrey admits to feeling kind of weird if she’s not working, as though the work kind of balances her out. Some folks need stimulation at all times it would seem as work can really ground them out and give them the feeling that they’re doing something that connects them to the world and others around them. It’s an odd thing to think about since it’s not everyone that feels this way, but it is a very real thing for some.
3. She’s a big admirer of Tina Fey.
It’s pretty easy to be impressed by Tina Fey since she has been a strong and very endearing actress for some time now. Aubrey seems like a very strong and confident person as well so it’s likely that she modeled herself after Tina as well as a few others that she’s either worked with or viewed during her career.
2. She was named after a 1970s band.
It’s interesting how some parents choose the name of their children since they can pick from just about anything and everything that means something to them. Some folks choose family names, others choose influential characters in their lives or in history, and others love to name their kids after a song title.
1. She has to have some form of stimulation close at hand a lot of the time.
She’ll usually have an iPad, her phone, a book, a magazine, or something close at hand and will even have the TV on in order to have some form of stimulation just to make sure that she has something to do and something to take up her attention.
When watching her in film and then watching her in interviews it’s easy to see that Aubrey is a very different woman when she’s acting, but she does it so well that a lot of people kind of mistake what she’s really like. In all honesty she’s a very talented woman.
