Katie Holmes Was Originally Cast in Will Ferrell’s ELF Movie

After Katie Holmes left the movie Elf, Zooey Deschanel was considered for the part again, and she seemed like a good fit. Deschanel explained that the character was flexible and adaptable to whoever played her, and the filmmakers knew she could sing because she performed in a cabaret show. This ultimately worked out perfectly, and the movie became a beloved classic.
