Aubrey Plaza Talks Parks And Rec, White Lotus, Jenna Ortega

From her position as April Ludgate to her hilariously awkward discuss present appearances, Aubrey is famed for her humorousness — even when it blurs the road between what’s a bit and what’s actual life.

“The deadpan thing wasn’t, like, my thing. I could do it, but it wasn’t like, ‘There goes the deadpan girl.’ I like to think that I’m such a good actor that people just thought that was literally me,” she informed Vanity Fair.

“You can see all the colors of my psychological state on display in any of these interviews,” she continued. “It’s a battle for me each time. It’s a battle to not quote-unquote ‘give people what they want,’ which is — I don’t even know what they need — and attempt to have enjoyable for myself with out coming off like an asshole.”

“I believe all of it simply stems from — I’m scared. I favor to be a personality. I imply, that’s actually what I’m doing.”

Aubrey was additionally requested about an LA Times piece about her SAG Awards bit (which she cowrote) referred to as, “In Praise of Jenna Ortega, Aubrey Plaza and Moody, Deadpan Latinas.” In response, she mentioned, “I loved that. That shit is important to me, because that’s my whole thing.”

“Even with April Ludgate, it was like, come on. Sofia Vergara is not the only Latina personality. There’s other ones! A lot of the characters I play, even with White Lotus — it’s important to normalize that there’s all kinds of different Latina people. I mean, all my Puerto Rican cousins are, like, morbid. Morbid shit is going on over there!”
