She’s one of the most recognizable singer/actresses of the up and coming generation in Hollywood, but Vanessa Hudgens says she never meant for it to be this way.
The High School Musical hottie confesses that the whole fame and fortune thing was never a part of her original plan. She told press, “I became an actress and started singing and dancing because I truly loved it. I did not want to be a celebrity. … I think fame is just something that comes along when you are in something that is such a success.”
And along with celebrity comes other undesirable side-effects. “People become jaded and infatuated with Hollywood. I think it happens to a lot of celebrities, and it messes with their head.”
If not for HSM, Hudgens says she may have taken a more Kelly Clarkson route. “I was 15 at the time … and you had to be 16 to audition. So I thought, ‘One more year.’ Then, when I turned 16, High School Musical came along and I got to do it. So I thought I’d skip on American Idol.”
