Zooey Deschanel Remembers ‘Elf’ Co-Star Bob Newhart as ‘So Funny, But Not Wrapped Up in Himself’


Zooey Deschanel says she remembers her "Elf" co-star Bob Newhart as "kind and generous" at the premiere of "Harold and the Purple Crayon" July 21.

“Harold and the Purple Crayon” stars Zachary Levi, Deschanel, “Get Out” actor Lil Rel Howery, Benjamin Bottani and Tanya Reynolds. Once his creator stops narrating his animated life, he journeys to the real world with his friends Moose (Howery) and Porcupine (Reynolds) to search for him. The film is based off the 1955 children’s book of the same name by Crockett Johnson, and is directed by “Rio” creator and “Ice Age” director Carlos Saldanha.
