Vanessa Hudgens talks Michael Caine!

Vanessa Hudgens says Sir Michael Caine regaled her with showbiz tales on the set of their new film.

Hudgens spent two months in Hawaii filming family adventure movie Journey 2 alongside the acting legend.

“Oh my goodness he’s amazing. That was one of my favourite things just sitting around on set and listening to him tell stories,” Vanessa revealed.

“He was such an open book of amazing knowledge and incredible stories, listening to the first time he went to Vegas with Frank Sinatra and all these incredible things.

“I admire him so much as a human being and for his body of work as well.”

Hudgens recently insisted she and Zac Efron are still “friends”.

The High School Musical costars ended their five-year relationship in December and the actress thinks that because they had been together for such a long time, there was no question they would not want to have remained a part of one another’s lives.

“After being in a relationship with someone that long, you stay friends,” she said.
Hudgens also hopes her role in Sucker Punch will help her put her High School Musical past behind her.
The 22-year-old actress plays Blondie in the new asylum-set fantasy action film and she is confident the gun-toting part will allow people to see her as more than just Gabriella from the Disney trilogy.
“I auditioned for the role several times,” Vanessa said. “It was a bit of a challenge for a second because people could only see me as the girl that randomly broke into song and dance. But I heard about this movie and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I think as long as I put the work in, people will give me the chance.”
