How Patti LuPone once almost killed ‘Agatha All Along’ co-star Aubrey Plaza

Aubrey Plaza recalls roommate era with Patti LuPone

Aubrey Plaza, Agatha All Along actress once almost got killed by her Marvel co-star Patti LuPone, back when they lived together.

Plaza reminisced about the time when she and LuPone were roommates and remembered on a recent episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers how they became “quick friends”, as the multi-Tony award winner was the one who motivated Plaza to try theatre.

In the conversation, Plaza recalled how she almost died at the hands of her roommate with a dose of Benadryl.

While they were living together for a few months, Aubrey Plaza fell seriously ill. LuPone, concerned for her health, suggested that Plaza see her personal nurse, named Joe.

Since LuPone was attending a gala that evening — which host Seth Meyers jokingly suggested sounded more like an “alibi” — the nurse arrived around 10:30 p.m. and set up an IV drip to give Plaza nutrients.

When Joe offered her the same sleep aid that LuPone uses Plaza agreed, though the nurse seemed hesitant. As he gave her the shot, Plaza realised it was a strong dose of Benadryl.

“It was like a horse tranquilliser for me. And she walked in when I was just mid tranquilliser and I couldn’t talk.”

Amid the panic, LuPone, still dressed in diamonds, hurried to make Plaza a snack of an English muffin with peanut butter, which she had to shove in her mouth.

Once the effects of the medication wore off and the nurse left, Plaza asked LuPone why the whole bizarre situation had even happened in the first place.

“And she went, ‘It’s happening because you are on the stage now and you need to toughen up. And that is why it’s happening,’” she said, mimicking LuPone’s speech. “And I understood everything about Hollywood in that very moment.”

Jeff Bridges on his 2010’s Tron: Legacy look

Jeff Bridges got candid on his recreated young look in 2010’s Tron: Legacy.

“I wasn’t particularly fond of that recreation of myself,” he recalled during a conversation on a recent episode of Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, talking about the Joseph Kosinski sequel that used a still “new” de-aging process through computer scanning, recreating his rejuvenated look.

“I thought I looked more like Bill Maher than myself,” he added humorously.

The veteran and Tron actor also reminisced on the techniques used back then to create the neon digital world.

“It was shot in 70 millimetre black-and-white, hand-tinted by a bunch of ladies in Korea, I think,” he recalled.

“We had black duvetyne, it was this set with white adhesive tape on the thing. Everybody was encouraged to wear colourful clothes ’cause … our suits were all black, but you would go outside after a day’s work of being in that black-and-white atmosphere and — boom! — colour would just run into you.”

Bridges will return to his role of video game creator Kevin Flynn, in Tron: Ares starring Jared Leto, slated for release Oct. 10, 2025, in a cameo appearance.

Zachary endorses Donald Trump

Zachary Levi is rooting for Donald Trump.

The action comedy series, Chuck star endorsed Donald Trump at a rally in Michigan on Saturday, along with former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and ex Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

“We’re here to make sure that we are going to take back this country. We are going to make it great again. We are going to make it healthy again,” Levi asserted while on stage.

“And so, I stand with Bobby, and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump.”

He continued, “Because I do believe, of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, Donald Trump, President Trump is the man that can get us there.”

“And he’s gonna get us there because he’s gonna have the backing and the support and the wisdom and the knowledge and the fight that exists in Robert Kennedy Jr. and former representative Tulsi Gabbard.”

The Shazam! actor also shared why he thinks what he thinks.

“I grew up in a family that was Christian conservative, that was pretty much the lane that we were in,” he said.

“My parents were Kennedy Democrats who then turned into Reagan Republicans, and they taught me to have a healthy level of distrust for the government and a healthy level of distrust for industry that runs amok.”

Levi made clear this his first choice was Kennedy — who backed out from running for president in August — but after him, he chooses Trump.
