Zooey Deschanel is the daughter of a six-time Oscar nominee, but she still doesnt quite believe that makes her a nepo baby.

Its funny because people are like, Oh, nepotism, the New Girl star said on an episode of The School of Greatness podcast with Lewis Howes last month. Im like, No. My dads a DP [director of photography]. No ones getting jobs because their dads a DP.

Despite Deschanels denial, she comes from a very famous family. Her father, cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, has been nominated for six Academy Awards over the years.

Her mother, Mary Jo Deschanel, appeared on the cult hit show Twin Peaks and in the movie The Patriot. And her older sister, Emily Deschanel, is best known for starring on the Fox drama show Bones.
