With one wrong statement or question, an interview can take a turn for the worst. Just ask Russell Brand regarding his time on Morning Joe...
Aubrey Plaza is another name known for her interviews. Compilations on platforms like YouTube have millions of views, showing Plaza acting awkward during her line of questioning. This seems to be in Plaza's nature, as even the likes of Robert De Niro were weirded out by her during their time together in Dirty Grandpa. According to Plaza, her awkwardness stems from her past.
In the following, we'll take a closer look at what Plaza thinks of her awkward interviews. In addition, we'll take a closer look at a hilarious interview that featured Plaza flipping off the interviewer, while walking off.
Of course, Plaza was still praised it for it. We'll take a look back at the moment, while also featuring other awkward Aubrey Plaza moments. Her incident at the SAG Awards was far from the only time she made the headlines for a 'bad reaction'.
Aubrey Plaza Admitted That Her Genuine Awkwardness Makes Her Interviews Entertaining
Aubrey Plaza's interviews have millions of views online, especially the compilation of her most awkward moments. Aubrey Plaza is completely aware of this, and even commented on the fact that some fans know of her because of interviews.
She told The Independent, “I think it’s hilarious that people know me from my talk show appearances and not my actual work,” she says, in a voice that suggests she doesn’t. “I just think that they’re silly, and the format makes me uncomfortable on so many levels, so my way of dealing with it is to just play into that."
Plaza would also reveal that she might be playing things up as well, given that she knows how entertaining it is for fans to watch.
"But I think there is an element of me unconsciously giving people what they want. You’re weird on talk shows and then people expect that again and then you get caught in this trap. It’s funny because I’m very nervous before I go on. I don’t have this elaborate performance ready; I’m literally just trying to be normal. But I can’t do it.”
In addition, Plaza stated that she isn't afraid to poke fun at herself, which has made her process effortless.
“I’ve always made a spectacle of myself in public. I’ve always humiliated myself in large groups of people.”
Fans love the fact that they never know what they're going to get with the star, and that held true during this interview.
Aubrey Plaza Can Get Away With A Lot, And That Included Flipping Off An Interviewer
Speaking with Michael Ausiello of EW, Aubrey Plazza decided to have some fun of her own. When asked by the interviewer to show her ring, she presented it by pulling the middle finger.
Plaza hilariously said, "It's the only one the ring fits on." Plaza would finish off with a statement about God, which was completely blurred out. She would then walk out of the interview and hilariously look back at the camera.
It was obviously a lighthearted moment and one fans completely loved.
The comment section on YouTube was filled with praise for Plaza.
"Love the stare back at the camera. She's great at subtle humor."
"I have no idea what this is about, but Aubrey is one of the funniest actresses I have seen in a long time! She's brilliant," another fan writes.
Fans clearly loved the moment but in truth, it was far from the only time Plaza got everyone's attention over an interview.
It Was Far From The Only Time Aubrey Plaza Made The Headlines For A Chaotic Interview On The Red Carpet
Aubrey Plaza and Michael Cera created quite the close bond during Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. In fact, the two would also date, and Plaza had nothing but good things to say about her former partner.
“He’s a very special — I mean, we love each other,” she confessed. “We’re still really good friends. He’s just a weird little freak and we speak the same language. He’s one of the funniest people I know.”
“He wasn’t someone I ever saw and thought, ‘Oh, give me some of that Michael Cera,'” she said. “I wasn’t like that. We just connected and after, it just happened.”
However, it seemed as though things took a twist between the two, when Plaza lost it on Cera for grabbing the microphone during her red carpet interview. Although Plaza looked mad, we have reason to believe it was all part of the fun, and another memorable moment that got all the fans talking.
