Aubrey Plaza: From Marvel to Coppola, and Her Unique Interview Style
Aubrey Plaza, known for her deadpan humor and versatile acting career, has recently been in the spotlight for several high-profile projects. In an interview with V Magazine for their Winter 2024 issue, Plaza discussed her diverse range of roles, from her induction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Rio Vidal, the Green Witch in Disney+’s series, to her appearances in films like Francis Ford Coppola’s epic ‘Megalopolis‘ and the coming-of-age comedy ‘My Old Ass‘.
Plaza is also celebrated for her unique and often provocative interview style. A memorable example is her pre-Emmy red carpet interview in 2010, where she humorously deflected a question from reporter Michael Ausiello by lifting her middle finger, leaving him flustered. This incident has become iconic and reflects her ability to dominate interviews with her wit and humor.
Despite her busy schedule, which includes multiple premieres and performances, Plaza continues to take on new projects. She is set to collaborate with John Waters on a future film, a dream project that aligns with her flair for morbid, campy humor. Plaza also emphasized the importance of breaking stereotypes for Latina actresses, drawing from her own experiences and the influence of her Puerto Rican family.
In addition to her acting career, Plaza has been making headlines for her personal life. Recently, she suffered an ACL injury during the WNBA All-Star Weekend but still managed to enjoy the event.
