Zooey Deschanel has broken her silence on rumors of nepotism surrounding her successful career in acting. Despite being the daughter of six-time Oscar nominee Caleb Deschanel, Zooey adamantly denies that her family connections played a role in her rise to stardom. In a recent interview, the New Girl star addressed the claims head-on, stating that her father’s career as a cinematographer did not pave the way for her in Hollywood. While Zooey admitted to receiving some ‘creative’ help from her parents, she emphasized that talent, not nepotism, has been the driving force behind her success. With a talented family that includes actors and filmmakers, Zooey Deschanel stands by her assertion that her accomplishments are a result of hard work and dedication.
