Zooey Deschanel is calling out critics. The 42-year-old actress, who starred in 500 Days of Summer, New Girl, Elf and more, has opened up in a new interview and clapped back at those who are calling her a “manic pixie dream girl”. Click inside to see what Zooey had to say… While speaking to The Guardian, Zooey looked back at some of her most popular roles and revealed how she became the face of the “manic pixie dream girl” trope following her role in 500 Days of Summer. “I don’t feel it’s accurate,” she said of people still labeling her as such and typecasting her. “I’m not a girl.
