Aubrey Plaza is one of Hollywood's most notable stars. She has earned worldwide recognition as an actress, comedian, and producer. To top it up, the starlet's time in the entertainment industry and talents have not gone unrewarded, as she is a recipient of many awards. But besides her career in Hollywood, Aubrey is also known for delighting in giving strange interviews.

Recently, the actress proved it again during a chat with talk show host Drew Barrymore. During their discussion, The White Lotus star made some cringe gestures and confessions, which have since gone viral. However, fans love it, claiming that it shows Aubrey's originality. Here are the details.

Aubrey Asks Drew To Be Her Mom

On December 19, 2022, Aubrey sat down with Drew on the latter's Drew's News podcast to discuss various issues. But at some point during the chat, things got bizarre as Aubrey begged her colleague to be her "mommy." The plea began after Drew told Aubrey about the amazing podcasts she writes for her daughters while away at camp. After hearing Drew's confession, the comedian said, "You're my dream mom. I wish you were my mom."

Next, Aubrey put on a baby voice begging Drew to be her "mommy." Still putting up the act, the actress asked the talk show host to feed, nurture, nourish her, and put her to bed. Surprisingly, Drew played along with the act even though she was amused.

"What I wouldn't do to put you to bed. I'm good at it too. I always hold them, and I put them in the nook of my arm," Drew replied while referencing her two kids.

Things Get Weirder

At some point during the conversation, Drew tried to steer the discussion back on track, noting that her dreams were coming true by being with Aubrey at that moment, but the latter seemed hooked on her hilarious act, replying, "Mine too, Mommy." Then, Drew responded, "Get in my belly," with the guest creepily saying, "Oh God, it's so warm." Drew then described her womb as not too hot or cold, with food available 24/7.

Twitter Users React To The Chat

Aubrey and Drew's exchange has since gone viral, with many of the former's fans praising her dark sense of humor and natural chemistry with the podcast's host. In a tweet, one user noted that she wished she could live in the nook of Aubrey's skull to figure out how her brain worked. A second user said she liked how Aubrey never stopped being weird and off-putting. Another tweep compared Aubrey to Oscar Isaac, noting that she was to women what Oscar is to men.

The clip was shared on The Drew Barrymore Show YouTube channel and has garnered about 70,000 views. Also, like the Twitter users, the YouTubers commended Aubrey for her sense of humor.
