Aubrey Plaza recently made an appearance on Conan O’Brien‘s talk show, where she revealed some fascinating details about her early days in the entertainment industry. Plaza, known for her roles in shows like Parks and Recreation, confessed that she actually started her career as an NBC page. However, she admitted to being a rather “terrible” page, even going so far as to make up stories about O’Brien during the tours she gave.
Plaza’s honesty about her less-than-ideal performance as a page only made her more endearing. She described herself as a “weird dark witchy page in the corner,” which definitely piqued the host’s interest. Despite her unconventional approach, Plaza became quite popular with the visitors on her tours, proving that her unique style had its own charm.
Since her page days, Plaza’s career has skyrocketed, with her role in Parks and Recreation earning her a nomination for an Emmy Award for best comedy show. Conan O’Brien congratulated her on the nomination and asked if she was looking forward to attending the ceremony. Plaza revealed that this would actually be the first time she attends the Emmys feeling like she truly deserves to be there.
In their conversation, Plaza also shared her past experience walking the red carpet at an awards show. In a delightful twist, Plaza found herself walking alongside her film idol, Sharon Stone. Unexpectedly, Stone took Plaza under her wing and gave her some pointers for navigating the red carpet. One of the unexpected tips Stone offered was to smile more, as she believed it was essential for being a successful movie star. Plaza also humorously recounted how Stone advised her against chewing on her own hair, as it might give people the wrong impression.
But it seems Plaza still has some tricks up her sleeve for this year’s red carpet event. When O’Brien inquired about her strategy, Plaza jokingly replied, “I’m just gonna get as drunk as I can and deny, deny, deny.” While leaving fans curious about what she might be referring to, Plaza’s mischievous response only added to the anticipation surrounding her appearance at the awards show.
With her candidness and playful demeanor, Aubrey Plaza continues to establish herself as one of the most intriguing and captivating figures in the entertainment industry. Fans and industry insiders alike will undoubtedly be waiting eagerly to see what she brings to the red carpet and what surprises she has in store for this year’s Emmys.
