Aubrey Plaza was having fun with her White Lotus counterpart, Haley Lu Richardson, when she joked that she’d been her “stalker” years before they worked together.
The 38-year-old Parks And Recreation star chatted with the 27-year-old Columbus actress for a while Interview Magazine distributed on Haley published Friday.
Aubrey shared that Haley went so far as to show up at the premiere of one of her movies uninvited just to be around her, although they both seemed to think it was all really fun afterwards.
Laugh: Aubrey Plaza, 38, and her White Lotus colleague Haley Lu Richardson, 27, joked in Interview Magazine that they knew each other well before being cast together because Haley had ‘stalked’ Aubrey for years
The two got on the topic of “stalking” after Aubrey recalled the first time she met Haley years ago.
“I met you because you were stalking me. For all the readers out there, Haley’s been stalking me for years,” she said, interrupting her train of thought. “After I met her at the MTV Awards, she stalked me at the Chucky, AKA Child’s Play premiere —”
Haley added with a laugh, “I came to the premiere of Child’s Play uninvited,” while her costar added that she was caught walking the red carpet, which she attended with her then-partner Brett Dier.
Haley added that she “made friends with all of Aubrey’s friends at the premiere so I could get closer to her life,” which only increased the potential creep factor.

“Then Aubrey’s friend invited me to Aubrey’s birthday without asking Aubrey. So I showed up and I remember we looked each other in the eye at the bar and you just said, “You,” she recalled.
The Ingrid Goes West actress joked that she “knew my stalker had arrived” despite taking some psychedelic mushrooms at her party.
She seemed to sense that Haley could grow into a legitimate friend, not just someone staring at her from a distance.
“There was something deep inside all along that was like, ‘Even though she stalks me, and maybe she’ll cut me into a million pieces and eat me eventually, I like her,’ Aubrey admitted. “Actually, I love her.” And so when I heard you were cast on The White Lotus, I thought, “This is some fucking witchy karmic s***.”‘
But Haley didn’t really downplay the (joking) allegations of stalkers when she said she saved a screenshot of the first text message she got from the veteran actress in her “Aubrey” photo album in my film roll, that’s all about important moments for us.’
She added: “I also have the video where you were interviewed and you were asked who you would play in the biopic of your life and you told me. That’s the best video I’ve ever seen.”
