Vanessa Hudgens Shares Rare Comments About Zac Efron’s Chemistry

Vanessa Hudgens takes a trip to High school musical memory lane.

Vanessa appeared on Magical Rewind podcast and recalled the audition process and how her and Efron’s off-screen chemistry shone through in the movies.

Recalling the auditions, he told host Bart Johnson, who played Coach Jack Bolton in the film series, “I guess I was 15. I had done a pilot for the Disney Channel called The Bus Life with Keke Palmer. He didn’t get it and I had auditioned for Disney a bunch,” he recalls.

She confessed that when the hearing for High school musical she went up, went in “complaining” and ended up getting a call back.

“I’m confused and I think I messed with Zach [Efron] right away,” he recalls.

“Me and Zac did the scene together. I sang with him. I feel like it went with someone else. I don’t know. It all seems so blurry,” the Princess Switch continued the star. “And then I feel like a few weeks after that, I got the final call, and it was, like, a final pairing where there was another girl there for Gabriella, another guy there for Troy, and we swapped and shuffled and matched. And that was it.”

“They called me and said, ‘We want you to do it.’ And I said, “Oh my God. It’s finally happening!” he added.

Gushing over her chemistry with teenage heartthrob Efron, she added: “And then, of course, I was a kid and I was paired with this boy, and I was like, ‘Oh my God. He’s so cute’. Well, the chemistry was so real.’

Host Johnson noted that their real-life chemistry must have made it easier to channel it on screen, to which Vanessa replied: “It really does. Especially when you’re young and it’s all sweet and innocent.”

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron starred in all the High School Musical movies and called it quits in 2010.
