Why Hollywood Won't Cast Zooey Deschanel Anymore

In the 2000s, she was known for appearing in films like Elf, (500) Days of Summer, and Yes Man, and for most of the 2010s, she played Jess Day on New Girl. But since her sitcom went off the air, we haven’t been hearing as much from Zooey Deschanel.

She’s had a lot of success in Hollywood over the years, but she’s always struggled with being typecast, and her role on New Girl may have only served to make her more pigeonholed into quirky roles. Let’s take a look at the real reason why Hollywood won’t cast Zooey Deschanel anymore.

Is Zooey one of those actresses you always think of in the 'girl next door' role?

[ziadahmedsamy]

False title. If you say she's tired in the first minutes of the video that means she's taking a break but what does Hollywood have with this? She can start taking work in whenever she's done relaxing.

She's earned millions from "The New Girl." It'll be in reruns for decades. She's endorsed Pantene and is a shrewd money saver, as was revealed when she divorced her first husband. Her second husband is a film producer with his own money, and she co-founded a website that in 2015 got bought by Time for $30 million.

She has "screw you" money. She never has to be manic or pixie-like again.

She got one of the most beautiful pair of eyes in the industry

[gnmeisterzero]

why is Hollywood not casting her anymore? Oh, i see.... desperate for views, false title, click bate kinda of things. Gotcha!!!

[joonasfi]

So Hollywood is not casting her because she... deserves a break? Wow. I'll be using that "Never recommend anything from this channel" -feature.

She has played "Manic Pixie Dream Girls" But 500 days of summer was criticizing that trope. I would watch the movie again

[ellaj.]

500 days was the anti-manic pixie dream girl. Even in the end, she said to him that he put her up on this pedestal and that wasn't who she really was.

[oliviaj]

That title is extremely misleading and condescending to the actor

[RobHollanderMusic]

It would be interesting to see her do a 180 and show up in a horror film, but not as the damsel in distress, but rather a darker part that plays off her perceived persona.

[howardkerr]

Another incorrectly titled video. Says Hollywood WON'T cast her, then turns around and says it's because she it busy and/or tired.
I give LOOPER a rotten tomato.

Zooey is a hidden Hollywood gem with a loyal following, ironically the industry will always be unworthy of real talent and a fantastic actress.
Missing you much Zooey, can't wait to see you again on the big screen.

[misscurious]

I love Zoey and the New Girl and it broke my heart when it ended.

[StephanRaubenheimer]

Beauty, personality, enthusiasm, sense of humour and eyes to die for!

[kokonakokoma]

I love her voice. She actually sang the themes for Winnie the pooh too. I know her beautiful voice anywhere.

[keystone]

I’m sure there’s a way to get good titles without making the actors look bad 🤦🏽‍♂️

[migtiming]

Zooey is super adorable and talented. Screw Hollywood. :D

[thepermman]

about 60% of these has-been actors Looper videos are usually actors doing more television than movies. They've usually been employed the whole time.

[Abu-kxei]

*Lets face it*, Zoey Deschanel is the cutest hollywood actress. Who agrees?

[theonlygosha]

She was in the animated feature film “Trolls” which was successful
