Aubrey Plaza pretends to read book during WNBA finals (2024)

Aubrey Plaza delighted fans at theGame 1 of the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty WNBAfinals.

The Community star, 40, had courtside seats for the game and pretended to read a book while the action unfolded mere inches from her.

She acted like she was deeply engrossed in the book while turning the pages at a rapid speed when the camera focused on her.

Aubrey – who looked stunning at the Megalopolis premiere – sighed heavily, in a way that only Aubrey can, and looked up as if she was bothered.

Ellie the Elephant, the Liberty's mascot, called her bluff and ran over to kiss her which made the White Lotus star close her book and smile.

'Exactly what I'd be doing at a WNBA game that doesn't have CC in it,' someone wrote, referring to Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.

At the end of the game, Aubrey and her friend stood up and the Dirty Grandpa star flipped off the crowd.
