Hannah Simone Reveals Prince's New Girl Cameo Was Inspired by His Crush on Her

The music legend's guest appearance on the sitcom included a memorable ping-pong scene, which he specifically requested to share with Simone.

Prince was a fan of New Girl and particularly interested in Hannah Simone, who played Cece on the show.
Simone shared on her podcast that Prince's desire to appear on the show stemmed from his crush on her.
The iconic musician requested a scene where he played ping-pong with Simone, a game he enjoyed with those he liked.
Despite Prince's interest, Simone did not reciprocate his romantic feelings, though they developed a unique friendship.
The ping-pong scene was filmed last during a long shooting day, and Prince humorously walked off after Simone unexpectedly won the game.
