New Girl siren Zooey Deschanel feels like an outsider
Gorgeous New Girl favourite Zooey Deschanel who was last seen on the big screen in the fantasy action comedy Your Highness has said that she still feels like an outsider when she goes to glamorous events.
The (500) Days of Summer actress tells Cosmopolitan that she does not mind feeling apart from her surroundings in the industry revealing "I've always felt like an outsider and I still do when I go to fancy events. I still sit there and think, 'I don't belong here', I feel like a kid at the adults' table - like I'm an outsider who got let inside somehow. It's not a bad thing, it's just that I see everything differently.
I take all the glitz and glamour of this business with a large grain of salt. I feel very removed from it. Not in a bad way - it's cool - I just don't feel a part of it."
Deschanel recently attended the Billboard Music Awards, and said of being at them "I just think you go to something like the Golden Globes, and it's the most glamorous place you could ever be, but then you go home and you're still like, 'Urgh, this dress is too tight, I wanna take off these shoes and put on my pyjamas'.
At the end of the night all the glamour goes away and you're just a human. All of that stuff is put on, to a degree. It's always comforting to know that, no matter what, at the end of the night I'm always home in my pyjamas.
I'm not shy. I have a strange sort of combination of awkwardness and confidence. I'm actually okay with awkward moments. But it's not because I think I'm so great.
I'm confident in things other than, like, my 'swagger'. I'm confident in my sense of humour. I'm comfortable in my skin."
New Girl recently got renewed for a second season by Fox, the series follows Deschanel as Jess an offbeat young woman, moves into an apartment loft with three single men. Although they find her behaviour very unusual, the men support her - most of the time.
