Zooey Deschanel opened up about her long-awaited return to television and some of the titles that are attributed to her in a new interview with Vanity Fair.
The 43-year-old actress made her return to TV with a role in the Apple TV+ series Physical this year. It marked her first big role in the medium since the conclusion of her hit series New Girl in 2018.
During her conversation with the outlet, Zooey explained what drew her to the project and ended a years-long break from TV.
She also addressed being referred to as a “manic-pixie-dream-girl,” a label that was attributed to her after starring in 500 Days of Summer. While Zooey didn’t appreciate the label, she revealed one that she was much more fond of.
