Hollywood stars often fall in love with their co-stars as they bring a story alive on screen and many have met their significant others on the set and are still together. Michael Cera and Aubrey Plaza fell for each other after they met on the set of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and like many other celebrity couples, they also decided to keep their relationship a secret. Their secret romance lasted for a year and a half, after which they went their separate ways.
However, before officially splitting up, the couple almost got married in Vegas only for a brief period, as they were planning to get divorced right away. The Superbad actor recently recalled his and Plaza’s trip to Vegas, on which they almost tied the knot.
Michael Cera and Aubrey Plaza Almost Got Married
Marvel star Aubrey Plaza has earlier shared that she and Michael Cera dated for a year and a half after meeting on the set of the 2010 romantic action comedy Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. And the 35-year-old has shared another interesting story about their dating period in his recent interview with Rolling Stone.
“We were driving through Vegas, and we almost just spontaneously took a detour and got married,” he shared during the interview. The Juno actor shared that they planned to get divorced as soon as they got married so that they could refer to each other as ex-husband and ex-wife.
“I think the idea was to then get a divorce right away, so we could call each other “my ex-husband” and “my ex-wife” at like … 20.”
However, things did not go as planned, and the two never got married. Cera did not mention why they dropped the idea. However, they would eventually meet their soulmates later. Plaza married screenwriter Jeff Baena in 2021, and Cera married his wife Nadine in 2017.
Michael Cera and Aubrey Plaza Are Still Good Friends
Aubrey Plaza opened up about her relationship with Michael Cera during her appearance in an episode of What’s the Tee podcast. While talking about the 2010 film, The White Lotus actress shared that she dated The Adults actor for a long time.
“Oh, Michael? I dated him for a long time,” she shared. Plaza has also shared that although their romance was short-lived, they had a great relationship. She shared that they “love each other” and they’re still good friends. “We’re still very good friends,” she shared on the podcast.
While the 2010 film failed miserably at the box office, it was received very well by critics and the audience. Critics described the film as a “great success,” and the former couple is set to reprise their respective roles in Netflix’s anime adaptation of the graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim, called Scott Pilgrim The Anime.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is available on Peacock TV.
