Actress Aubrey Plaza had an interesting experience on the set of her movie, like when she “terrified” movie icon Robert De Niro during the filming of their movie “Dirty Grandpa.” The actress plays De Niro’s love interest, a woman who is obsessed with having sex with him because he is a college professor.
During a panel discussion at the recent London Film Festival, Plaza shared that she never interacted with De Niro before filming, meaning she only interacted with him when he was already in character. He explained that this caused him to mistake his character’s personality for his real personality.

Thankfully, Plaza and De Niro eventually mended their relationship and became friends a few months after filming. The actress had previously shared a story when the film’s director tried to force her to suck on her nipples, which was a very awkward experience.

Plaza recently gave a “screen talk” keynote at the London Film Festival, where she shared the story of her awkward interaction with De Niro. The actor revealed that his agent contacted him during the filming of “Dirty Grandpa” and said De Niro was “shocked” by his behavior.
Plaza said per Deadline“I auditioned for the part. I really wanted the part. I created the character for myself, and I wanted to make the most of it. I worked with De Niro. I played his love interest. Nothing happened to stop me. But I didn’t have time to be with him.”

He explained that the actor never lingered on set and always appeared “like a puff of smoke when he was filming.” Plaza also said that once De Niro showed up, it was time to shoot, so he never spent time with him as his real self.
Robert De Niro Considers His Character In Movies As His Actual Personality
Plaza explained he always stays in character on set, so he usually “goes all over” movie icons to build their on-screen chemistry. However, the “Parks and Recreation” star admitted that De Niro had assumed his character’s performance as a real personality.
She said, “My character has one goal, which is to have sex with her. That was my motivation. And I wore a wig in the film. I acted really crazy like the character because we were going to shoot. I stayed in character because that’s what I do. I don’t think he understands that it’s not me.”

Plaza continued, “You’d think he’d do it because he’s such a great actor and actress.” He also talked about how ridiculous most of their scenes together were, saying that they were mostly of them “making out and talking dirty to each other.”

During her talk, Plaza also shared that she finally mended her off-screen relationship with De Niro. The “Ingrid Goes West” actress said that a few months after filming, De Niro invited the cast and crew of “Dirty Grandpa” to her house for a group lunch.
Plaza explained that when he got there, the “Taxi Driver” actor didn’t even recognize him when he arrived at his house. However, when he reintroduces himself, they quickly become friends. Plaza said, “After that he loved me. We really got along. And I think it was interesting to him at that point.”
Aubrey Plaza Has Shared A Similar Story Before
Plaza previously shared the story of how he made De Niro uncomfortable on the set of “Dirty Grandpa.” The “Parks and Recreation” actress was interviewed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2016 and shared the story of how the film’s director, Dan Mazer, asked her to suck on De Niro’s nipple.
She said, “I’m going to try to go in there and suck her nipples, and she’s like hitting me, and I don’t know if it’s in character or not. And then they cut the camera and [the director] called me back and said, ‘Bob doesn’t like attention to his nipples.’ I was like, ‘Great, now he thinks I want to do that.'”
