Aubrey Plaza on life after Parks and Recreation, plans for an EGOT and her secret Zac Efron crush

'America's Sweethearts' After working on Dirty Grandpa and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (pictured) with Zac Efron, Aubrey joked: 'I'm on this Zac Efron train right now. I'm just riding it to the top'

Aubrey Plaza rose to fame playing Leslie Knope's (Amy Poehler) sardonic yet sweet protege on NBC's Parks and Recreation, which ended its seven-season run in February.
And in Elle's 30th Anniversary issue, the 31-year-old star opened up about moving on from her beloved character as she headed into a busy lineup of movies, including Dirty Grandpa and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates - both alongside Zac Efron.
'I will miss playing April Ludgate for my whole life,' she admitted, adding: 'But I'm definitely ready to move on. Rght now, it's been really fun to play these other characters.'

The 'This is 30' issue also celebrated women in their thirties, though Aubrey admitted she 'was not one of those people' who embraced reaching that memorable birthday.
'I feel like I'm 16 still and like I know nothing,' she said, comparing herself to Britney Spears' 2001 song I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman.
She continued: 'I still feel really young, but I feel like I've had enough life experience to not be a total a**hole, and I'm liking it I guess.'
Whether or not the star was ready to embrace it, she certainly wears it well, as is evident in her and close friend Anna Kendrick's stunning photograph in the magazine's spread.

The Safety Not Guaranteed actress showed a bit of skin in a plunging shimmery silver ballgown with spaghetti straps and a deep V-neck front as she held an umbrella alongside Anna in the rain.
Her short black tresses were styled in a dramatic bob with blunt bangs, and she had some dark eye liner, but it was balanced with natural make-up for the rest of her look, giving her almost a soft glow.
When asked about the future, the busy star - who has discussed one day wanting a Golden Girls-type series alongside pal Anna - shared she'd like to be 'chilling in my penthouse overlooking Central Park, with like 10 grandkids, and a couple Tonys.'
She also has a dream of achieving the coveted EGOT, which is when you have an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony
