Everyone was pretty shocked when Disney star Vanessa Hudgens was caught up in a nude photo scandal in 2007. Wow, has it been that long?

This month she opened up about that and much more to Glamour magazine.

On the nude pictures she sent to Zac Efron that “leaked” online:

“I think that it has made me stronger. But it still hurts,” Vanessa said. “It sucks because [the photos were] supposed to be private, but at the same time a lot of actresses do it [in movies]. Eventually, I’m sure that I will [too]. But I don’t know if I would be able to do it now.”

On her career after High School Musical:

She said, “It’s so funny. Because before High School Musical, I wanted to be a nitty-gritty actress. And High School Musical came along, and, I was like, ‘Oh my God, fun!’ But the more we did it, the more prude I became…. When I am around kids and they come up to me, of course I am going to act a certain way, but at the end of the day, I’m doing this for myself. I’m going to be doing movies kids can’t watch.”

On her relationship with Zac Efron:

“We got lucky because we started off together, so I think people like us because they fell in love with the characters,” she explained. “Right off the bat, we had a connection. I think everybody could see it. When we had our audition, they paired us together. And he was adorable.”

I was wondering earlier why Jennifer Connelly wasn’t included in the He’s Just Not That Into You gals photo shoot for Marie Claire.

Obviously she was too busy shooting this fabulous white and Springy shoot for Glamour. They even managed to make her not look too sickly skinny.
