Zooey Deschanel Reveals Why She Never Watches ‘Elf’

‘Elf’ star Zooey Deschanel has revealed why she never watches the iconic Christmas film, even during the holiday season.

The 44-year-old actress revealed that although she loves Christmas-themed movies, she does not like watching her own hits.

Deschanel told Us Weekly that she doesn’t watch anything with her in it because she feels like that might be a bit “narcissistic.”

Although she doesn’t watch the film ‘Elf’, she has fond memories of doing the film with her co-star Will Ferrell, who played Buddy the elf.

“I love him. He’s a great, great person. One of the best,” she said.

“Seriously, one of the nicest people ever. He’s done incredible things since then.”

She added that she feels “lucky that I got to do that movie.”

The ‘New Girl’ star added that she prefers Christmas music over festive films.

“I love singing Christmas carols. That’s my favourite thing.”

“I love singing harmony, and I have a lot of friends who are really good singers, so I really enjoy singing as a group. I love all the holiday food. And my favourite part is being with family, just getting to connect.”

She also revealed that her fiancé used to watch Elf each year before they got together, but
