Zooey Deschanel wasn’t popular at school

OHMYGOSSIP — Zooey Deschanel admits she wasn’t popular during her younger years. The actress, 33, revealed in February’s ELLE that her quirky qualities didn’t win her any friends.

“I wasn’t the world’s most popular child,” she said.

“Definitely none of the kids I grew up with would have ever thought, ‘Zooey will be on television and have her own show’.

“Nothing has ever come easy for me, and I think that’s a really good thing. I learned at an early age that you have to work hard for what you get.

“I have really stood up for myself on multiple platforms. It’s sort of the grown-up version of middle-school nastiness, and I’m just like, come on.

“If there’s one thing I’d like to graduate from, it’s girl-on-girl hate. I don’t believe in it.”
