Vanessa Hudgens 'Disney made me want to act'

Vanessa Hudgens has credited watching Disney movies with helping her to become an actress.

The 22-year-old actress who shot to fame in the High School Musical film franchise alongside former boyfriend Zac Efron revealed she was a shy child until she discovered the fairytale movies which helped her to discover a love of performing.

“I was a very shy and quiet kid until my parents took me to see my first Disney movie, Snow White,” she said.

“After that I would always hum and sing the songs and dress up as Snow White. Funny how dressing up and singing songs in High School Musical actually made me apart of the Disney family.”

Hudgens recently revealed that she is enjoying being single and isn’t worrying about finding a new boyfriend as she is enjoying concentrating on her career.

“I think it’s really important to love yourself and truly just be happy with yourself and just kind of let the rest of it fall into place,” she said.

“It is fun to go look at cute boys. But at the same time, I like being single. I feel like I have all this time for myself to be able to do these roles.”
