Michael Cera and Aubrey Plaza were close to saying "I do."
In a conversation with Rolling Stone, the Arrested Development actor, 35, revealed that he and his Scott Pilgrim vs. The World costar almost tied the knot during a drive through Las Vegas.
"We almost just spontaneously took a detour and got married," he explained. "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."

Plaza, 38, previously revealed that the pair dated for about “a year and a half" during a 2016 appearance on the podcast RuPaul: What's The Tee with Michelle Visage.

Fans of the actors will soon see them reunite in Netflix's new Scott Pilgrim vs. The World-based animated series.
Confirming that Plaza and Cera, along with Chris Evans, Satya Bhabha, Anna Kendrick, Brie Larson, Alison Pill, Brandon Routh, Jason Schwartzman, Mae Whitman, Johnny Simmons, Mark Webber, and Ellen Wong, would all reprise their film roles in the new show, filmmaker Edgar Wright reflected on the new series as being one his "proudest and most enjoyable achievements."
