Jake Johnson talks New Girl
Jake Johnson played Nick Miller in New Girl from September 2011 to May 2018.
In a recent interview, he made the revelation that the cast never spent time together outside of work.
New Girl followed the story of housemates, and best friends, Jess, Schmidt, Winston and Nick.
Zooey Deschanel played Jess, Max Greenfield played Schmidt and Lamorne Morris played Winston.
Jake recently joined Justin Long, who played Paul on the show, for a chat on his podcast Life Is Short.

He admitted, "I've never hung out with Max Greenfield or Lamorne Morris outside of work."
"Not once. I've never hung out with Damon Wayans Jr."
Damon played their former housemate Coach on the show.

Jake added, "Mind you, if we are shooting on location then we all go out to eat. We all like each other."
"But the only time Max, Lamorne and I have ever gone out to eat is we were doing some photoshoot and we all went and got a bite to eat."
"And it was a mistake because another table of people saw the cast of New Girl doing bits with each other..."
Despite this, Jake insisted that the cast are really good friends, "But in this business, we don't see each other."
"I've got the friends who I see on a regular basis and then I've got the friends who I work with, who I really like."
Referring to his appearance on Justin's podcast, he said, "But the only time we see each other is like this."
While they may not see each other often, Jake and Max do text a lot.
"Max and I text all the time but if he tried to FaceTime me on a Wednesday, I would write like, 'Leave me alone.'"
"If he said, 'This if for a podcast nobody will watch,' I'd say, 'Wednesday at 10.30!' And I don't know why that is."
