John Gries Explains Why Aubrey Plaza Seemed Annoyed On Stage
Aubrey went viral Sunday night for appearing angry and seemingly mouthing “Jesus Christ” while on stage with her White Lotus co-stars.
John Gries revealed that the Aubrey Plaza at SAG Awards is the same Aubrey Plaza he knows everywhere. The White Lotus star told Page Six that his castmate was being her usual sardonic self.
The Napoleon Dynamite star also cleared the air about what happened to cause Aubrey to appear “annoyed” on stage. The White Lotus cast won Best Ensemble, and John said he could see that about 15 people blocked Aubrey. The actor said he then told her to “look to the front.”
The Martin actor then added that he told her she “might want to fix” the underboob peeking out of her revealing Michael Kors dress.
John revealed that Aubrey seemingly mouthed “Jesus Christ” after the interaction because she was “just being funny.”
“I think what she was intimating is why would that be a problem if my nipple is showing,” he explained, adding, “That’s her humor — She has that dry, dead-pan wit; that’s her biting wit.”
Aubrey Plaza Was Happy At SAG Awards
John also touched on the rumors about what got Aubrey annoyed on stage. The Real Genius star trashed the theory that not getting to talk on the podium following the win irked her.
He revealed that the cast knew co-star F. Murray Abraham would speak on their behalf.
“We wanted him to speak; we all wanted him to. He’s F. Murray Abraham! He’s a frigging legend,” John said of the 83-year-old Oscar winner.
He also revealed that he even texted Aubrey Monday morning after seeing that their exchange went viral. The 65-year-old said he was upset that an innocent interaction turned into a “creepy moment.”
The Dream Corp LLC actor said he asked her if she truly wasn’t upset, and she replied, “No! Not at all!”
He said Aubrey even joked that he “saved” her from a wardrobe malfunction. To prove his point, he disclosed that she partied with the rest of the cast at Chateau Marmont until 1:30.
The Dirty Grandpa actress also appeared happy as she giggled and joked with her castmates and fellow A-listers backstage. It seems followers misinterpreted Aubrey Plaza’s expressions at SAG Awards.
