do try really hard to be normal
The 31-year-old star of the much-praised US sitcom New Girl, which starts on Channel 4 on Friday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is as infamous for her polarising effect on people as she is for her big, blue eyes and husky voice. For a certain type of woollen hat-wearing, moustache-growing, tattoo-sporting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sensitive young man she is the ultimate fantasy - fond of thrift-shop finds and baking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bright without being threatening, quirky,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cute and given to blushing. When New Girl was first shown to the US press the captivated male critics all but rolled over and asked her to tickle their stomachs.
Yet for every one who adores her - and it's not just men; in a recent profile in New York magazine one woman gushed that "she's the reason I've had bangs [a fringe] for seven years" - there is another who finds her insufferably twee. She has been accused of spearheading, whether accidentally or on purpose, a type of retro-femininity, promoting the idea that woman are more attractive if they act like girls. In a now notorious blog post, the comedian Julie Klausner wrote of Deschanel and her ilk: "There's so much ukulele playing now, it's deafening. So much cotton candy, so many bunny rabbits and whoopee pies and craft fairs and kitten ephemera,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and grown women wearing converse sneakers with mini skirts." It's true that Deschanel can come across as a female Fotherington-Thomas, tripping along, skipping and simpering: "Hello trees,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hello flowers, hello clouds."
Deschanel herself, perky and slender in a bright-red woollen jersey and dark, skinny jeans, remains sanguine about both bouquets and brickbats. "I don't crave the approval of someone who just doesn't like me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she says. "If they don't like me then they don't have to watch [New Girl] and that's fine. But yeah,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], occasionally you'll run across something where someone will say something mean about you and it's hard because there are some things you can't change about yourself. And,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you know, you shouldn't change them because other people like them. It seems like a lot of people love having an opinion, which is great,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I don't always need to hear it."
Primary among those opinions is the idea that Deschanel is the ultimate manic pixie dream girl, a slightly kooky but ever so adorable muse, who combines girl-next-door charm with a subtle sophistication ensuring that our hero is never quite sure where he stands. It's a type she has perfected in any number of movies - from All The Real Girls, in which she played an aloof teenage muse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to (500) Days of Summer, where she was both dream girl and heartbreaker. Her role in Elf as a depressed department-store worker riffed on her occasionally goofy persona, while her recent turn in Our Idiot Brother as a bisexual Brooklynite who dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian was so Zooey it was almost a pastiche.
It's also the case that, increasingly, Zooey Deschanel is a brand. There's the successful sitcom (New Girl attracted 10.1 million viewers at its debut and has been hailed as the break-out show of the US television season); the music career (she sings, plays the piano and ukulele and writes songs with Matt Ward for their indy band,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], She Him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which has attracted positive reviews); and a website, Hello Giggles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is aimed at "smart, independent and creative females" and which, with its pictures of cute animals and articles on thrift-store finds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is unashamedly girly in feel. "I've always been really girly," she admits. "With the website I think people are happier when they're not saying negative things about other people, so ultimately our goal is to make people happy. Hopefully a few people agree."
Yet beneath the happy façade runs a more self-conscious seam. She is much given to mannerisms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], twisting her hair round her finger, hugging herself. It would be no surprise if she suddenly twirled around in the manner of her sitcom forerunners Marlo Thomas, of That Girl,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or Mary Tyler Moore. "I love Mary Tyler Moore," she admits. "The moments in New Girl where Jess sings was something that I really related to in the script. You know,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you think,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 'I'm going to be Mary Tyler Moore.' That thing of somehow being a part of the crowd but somehow everybody's watching you."
