Aubrey Plaza Doesn't Have a Streaming Subscription, Says She Likes 'Tangible Things'
It could be awhile before the actress watches her new miniseries, 'Agatha All Along' on Disney Plus.
Actress and producer Aubrey Plaza might star in new Disney Plus miniseries Agatha All Along, but don't expect her to watch it anytime soon–she isn't subscribed to any streaming services.
While attending the show's special launch event at El Capitan Theatre on Monday (Sept. 16), Plaza, who plays Rio Vidal in the Agatha, had a quick chat with Variety on the carpet. During the conversation, fans learned that the 40-year-old doesn't have a Disney Plus account. Variety reporter Marc Malkin asked if Plaza had watched Agatha predecessor, WandaVision, which is available on Disney Plus.
“Let me just be clear about this, internet, I don’t have accounts. Okay?" Plaza confessed. "I steal other people’s accounts, I steal them. Or I don’t steal them–but I borrow them or someone else signs in. I don’t know. I don’t trust that situation, okay?"
She continued, "And I have a really bad memory. I don’t remember my passwords. Every time I try to log into anything, I get stalled. Once I have to go back to the screen again to the password and then I have to click all the individual letters, I give up. And I go, ‘I’m giving up, I’m just gonna put on a DVD and call it a night.'"
Marc Malkin then told Plaza that actress-singer Barbara Streisand would call the late Apple mogul Steve Jobs whenever her Mac computer had a technical issue. “Oh my God,” Plaza replied, before making a risqué joke. “I don’t know…I just like tangible things. I wanna just slide it in the slot. I wanna just put it in the hole and lay back, see what happens.”
Plaza gave a similar response to the Wall Street Journal in a video posted last month, where she admitted that she still hasn't seen The White Lotus, despite playing Harper in the HBO drama.
"I still haven’t, but I’m going to," Plaza told the publication. "To be honest, I had trouble opening my HBO Max account when I was trying to watch it originally. I couldn’t figure out the password and I usually just give up when I can’t figure out the passwords. I just can’t handle things like that."
The year before, Plaza told Vanity Fair that she gets "really angry" when she has to use a streaming service.
"I was trying to watch Top Chef Season 20. Couldn’t figure out how to fucking get Hulu + Live. I give up! I can’t. I just can’t," Plaza said. "And so what I like to do is go on iTunes and buy movies that are old. Or I’ll go on iTunes and just, like, buy the whole Sopranos series, and then my husband will be like, 'You literally can watch that for free on HBO Max.'"
