Zooey Deschanel Hates Being Called a “Nepo”
While appearing as a guest on the School of Greatness podcast, Zooey Deschanel was asked a bold question by host Lewis Howes: “What was it like growing up as a nepo baby?” For those unfamiliar, the term “nepo baby” refers to children of successful or famous parents who follow their footsteps into the industry. Zooey herself is the daughter of six-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer Caleb Deschanel and acclaimed actress Mary Jo Deschanel. She’s also the younger sister of actress Emily Deschanel (Bones).
Despite her impressive family background, Zooey wasn’t here for the “nepo baby” label and had a sharp response for the critics. Her words served as a reminder that while her family may have opened the door, her success is rooted in her own talent and hard work.
Zooey’s comments shed light on the growing conversation around nepotism in Hollywood. While she acknowledges her privileged background, she doesn’t shy away from emphasizing the dedication it took to carve out her own path, from indie films like (500) Days of Summer to her long-running role as Jess Day on New Girl.
By shutting down the "nepo baby" narrative with poise and humor, Zooey reminded everyone that talent and effort go hand in hand with opportunity.
