Zooey Deschanel has never been your typical Hollywood starlet. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that isn’t planning on being your typical Hollywood mom. The pregnant New Girl star recently spoke up about her post baby belly bikini body, and how she won’t be in a rush to shed any weight that she gains.

In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, Zooey Deschanel opened up about her, lack of, plans to shed her baby weight:

"Haven't we all seen those pictures of a sexy new mom in a bikini after one month? I will not be that person. I've always gone my own course and never been someone who had the need to be super skinny. I like a healthy look. I don't buy into that skinny-is-better mentality. I just eat healthy and work out and don't worry about my weight too much. Actresses aren't models, and most of them never wanted to be."

Deschanel previously spoke with the Huffington Post about how she is not as “adorkably” girly as her New Girl character:

"I know that sounds crazy because you're supposed to care about what people think of you, I guess, as an actor, but I really don't. Obviously I'm grateful for all of the opportunities that I've had thus far, including New Girl, but I don't think I've ever met a person who knows me use that word to describe me, so it's not of any consequence to me."
