Joseph Gordon-Levitt Says It's Awkward When People Ask About Zooey

by Genevieve Rota 0

Ever since cutesy New Girl star Zooey Deschanel landed back on the singles market, we'd been hoping her good friend Joseph Gordon-Levitt would profess his love for her and they'd ride off into the sunset. The two have been friends for years and starred in the indie smash (500) Days of Summer and this awesome dance video together a few years ago. But, sadly, it seems like happily-ever-after isn't going to happen for these two, with Joseph telling US Playboy a few days ago that he and Zooey are Just. Friends.

"It’s awkward when people say that. Whatever. Zooey and I just think it’s funny. It is funny. We’ve been friends for 10 years. She loves movies, music and art, and she’s incredibly knowledgeable about that stuff. She’s turned me on to so many good movies and so much good music. It’s fun just to have conversations, watch movies with her and stuff like that."

Sigh. Way to shatter our dreams, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Guess we'll just have to rely on this amazing video of the two of them singing together to make us feel better.
