Sometimes, when two actors play the same character in a project, they’ll work together to create the character. But that wasn’t the case in “My Old Ass.” According to star Maisy Stella, playing the younger version of Aubrey Plaza meant a lot of “mimicking” by the older actress.
Directed by Megan Park and co-starring Maddie Ziegler and Kerrice Brooks, “My Old Ass,” which premiered at Sundance on Saturday, centers on Elliott Labrant (Stella), who has been advised by her future self not to fall in love. She’s pretty confident that won’t be an issue until she meets the boy her older self warned her about.
