Vanessa Hudgens is featured in the latest issue of Details. The actress, on/off girlfriend of Zac Efron, is a little overexcited promoting her next movie, Sucker Punch, ‘We trained with Navy Seals. We were machines. You could not f**k with us.’ Her shoot is quite interesting, as it seems to be raining. Or she’s standing under a giant leaking faucet. There’s one image in which the background’s so wet I thought she was posing next to a swimming pool. She wasn’t. And she forgot her pants. And she looks cold. I want to towel her off and wrap a jacket around her. She’s wearing barely more than underwear (a tee and panties) for the entire shoot. I’d freeze sleeping in that. Her interview snippets are below.
- On training for Sucker Punch, which according to Details’ article sounds tiringly derivative: ‘We trained with Navy Seals,’ says Hudgens, who stands five feet four. ‘We were machines. You could not f**k with us. We’d all go running around Vancouver, where we filmed, to restaurants and bars and karaoke, like we owned it. We’d intentionally cruise back alleys, knowing that if anything did happen, we’d be all right. Taking the safest way home at that point was just boring.’
- On working and improbably bonding with Michael Caine: ‘He’s uh-mazing,’ Hudgens says, habitually stretching that one word into two. ‘Not only is he uh-mazingly, stupidly talented, but he still kind of hits on me. All the time. If it was anybody else, I’d be like, ‘Who the hell do you think you are?’ But because it’s Michael Caine, I’m like, ‘Sock it to me more, baby, come on!’ Throughout this whole movie we’re trudging through the jungle. So, of course, we’re sweating. I can’t tell you how much time is spent putting oil on my chest. And Evian. Spraying Evian bottles on my chest and my arms and my forehead, but mostly my chest. Just to look like I’m sweating. But your boobs don’t really sweat, cleavage doesn’t sweat. So it’s kind of funny. But Michael’s always telling the makeup artists that he’ll take over and do it. I. Frickin’. Love. Him.’
- On how things are with Zac Efron: ‘We’re still friends… Who knows what the future will bring… We’re figuring things out.’
- On meeting Quentin Tarantino: ‘After the Oscars we were at Madonna’s party. Quentin Tarantino was there, and I was talking to him for a while, probably after a few drinks, and I told him, ‘We’ve gotta do something together.’ And he was like, ‘I would love to. That would be really great.’ So it’s been put out there,’ Hudgens says. ‘Slowly, I’ve gained balls. I used to be very shy.’ She adds,’Nothing has happened with Tarantino yet. But I definitely tried to plant my seed. Hopefully he won’t look back and think, ‘Oh my God. That crazy b**ch.”
Thank you for the post, this just made my morning! Need to go buy Details magazine…
