“From what I gather this is a very slow burn…They sometimes tell us not to hug because they’re so afraid. ‘You guys have too much chemistry! Don’t hug!’ Jake and I started being like, ‘This is ridiculous!’ They said, ‘Okay, fine, you can hug, but don’t hug too long,’” Zooey shared. “Schmidt & Cece (Hannah Simone) is obviously more on the surface, which makes Nick & Jess exciting but also sort of a nail biter, because it’s so under the surface. But I do think we’ll make some progress.”
