Vanessa Hudgens Channels Angelina Jolie
Vanessa Hudgens strikes a sexy pose in this shot from the July 2009 issue of Instyle UK.
The 20-year-old actress dished to the mag about her new house, her parents and the excitement about her upcoming role in Sucker Punch. Check it:
On her parents not wanting her to become an actress: “All the rejection is tough and discouraging. It’s so dog-eat-dog, and who would want to subject their girl to that world? But it was just something that I loved so much. Man, I can’t imagine myself away from the business.”
On not living with boyfriend Zac Efron: “I’m young. I should have my own place. I think that everybody should buy their own home on their own.”
On upcoming movie, Sucker Punch: “It’s totally my Angelina Jolie part. People are either going to love me for doing it or hate me for doing it, but I’m very excited.”

Everyone Let face it, when you dislike someone whatever the person say or do they will find fault even when there is non. So there really is no point to feel offended by the likes of them.
I find her very genuine person and unique to the typical Hollywood stars. She knows what she wants and work hard for it. Anyone who believes that she live an easy fairytale story is soooo wrong. You think making a film, attending premiers and photo shoot is easy job, do rethink.
My work requires me to travel extensively and every time after a flight I would be very exhausted. I can just imagine how much more difficult for those ppls that need to “work it” right after the flight touchdown.
And Naomi, thanks for posting the article. That has got to be my favorite so far; she is mature, well-balanced, level-headed, and shows such responsibility for her age. Just so impressed with her ability to acknowledge mistakes and learn so much from them. And I especially love this interview, and how well she worded her answers!!
wow i never noticed how tiny she is
@maria:
I know right? I agree with everything you said and feel like such a proud mum.
I loved how she acknowledged her flaws, no excuses, just matter of fact.
For me, she just epitomizes quiet strength. She’s very focused but she doesn’t have to make a show of being focused and driven, she just is.
In the same way, she’s independent without having to go out of her way to prove that she’s an independent strong woman. She’s shown that she can be devoted to a relationship and value it without being swallowed by it.
I love her last quote. It puts into perspective her determination not to acknowledge nor respond to negativity or trivialities. She can put her energy to better use.
aww i love what zack said about her. great interview.
i can’t wait for sucker punch!
vanessa,
these wonderful photos
I buy this magazine
Maria, I have to agree with you about the interview…one of her best. She is so honest that it is refreshing beyond words. How can you not like her is the question? And the photoshoot is awesome….very sweet and sexy at the same time.
Thanks Naomi for the link to the interview. Love what she said about everyone should have a place of their own. She sounds so focused and will not let anyone/anything distract her from her goal. Gotta love her! I’m sure that’s why Zac adores her too.
lucky Vanessa, she got everything she wants!
# Naomi, thank you for sharing the full article .
I love this interview and article. they even mention that she somewhat resembles to Catherine Zeta Jones which I agree 100%.
I hope someday Vanessa and Catherine Z J will do movies together. I love CAtherine too.
Vanessa looks gorgeous and this is one of the best magazine interviews ive ever read and cant wait to get a copy
Lovely, stunning, beautiful..shes the definition of hotness
Thanks, Naomi, for the interview and all. I left shortly after my post and just now saw your post. I didn’t want you to think I didn’t appreciate it! I think this is such a better photoshoot than the one she did in Brazil. I was disappointed in that one—not that Vanessa wasn’t beautiful but I just thought than magazine would have had something more sultry or sexy or something—kind of like this one.
This is much better than the photoshoot in Brazil. Great interview.
gorgeous
she looks amazing
I laughed about the organized thing she has going on. That is how I arrange my closet—not so much as I did when I was Vanessa’s age but when i was her age I was in far better SHAPE and clothes were a lot more fun. LOL No wonder she and Zac do not live together full-time. He’s admitted that he is a disaster area when it comes to cleaning and being tidy. That may be something he will need to work on! However, I have seen that so many times in really tight loving relationships—one is really neat and organized and one will be a total spaz and not be able to keep track of anything. Hopefully Vanessa will be able to rub off on Zac in this area.
@Karen:
I don’t think so. My parents are like that and my mother is still waiting after 25 yrs of marriage for my dad to organize his closet.LOL
does anyone else agree with me when I say she looks like a young catherine zeta jones?
@…:
i agree… beautiful women
@Karen:
Maybe but it will take years! When I was young my dad was untidy and my mum is a neat freak and now he is finally learn to become one.
She’s always so complimentary towards Angelina Jolie <3 She’s so sweet and humble and she’s going to fight her way to the top too.
OMG!!! I just read some of the uk scans and even they said she’s like catherine! I know it, it’s true.
Brillant, spontaneous & honest responsed from the interview… You can seldom heard it from an ordinary 20 year old gal….
For those who doesnt like Vanessa’s acting/ singing: Just asking why she had line ups of movies now? Dont answer me because of her Beautiful Face… Logic: SHE IS BEING OFFERED BECAUSE SHE KNOWS HOW TO ACT….
She has 3 upcoming movies @ the age of 20 only! remember? How about others “idol/s” ???Those who are fond of criticing Vanessa’s voice do you think Destiny will qualified her that time if its not wonderful? Come on ….
She has done 2 albums already ( which I believe she is really a hot property that is why hollywood records took the edge that time to record her again). And I believe so she will be doing her 3rd album again anytime soon..
She has plenty of magazine covered already ( Lucky, Seventeen, Cosmogirl, Self Magazine, Teen Vogue, In Style etc..@ the AGE of 20 only ! How about others idol/s? Do they have same offers like what had Vanessa done?
Endorsements: Marck Ecko, Neutrogena, Spoke person of Sears ( hahaha bigger bucks she had isnt? How about others idol/s do they have same offers? Na ah of course…
At the age of 20. she had able to conquer the world of A lister life…. She attended Golden & Oscar…. and why she was invited again? Simple answer BECAUSE SHE IS TALENTED, DEMANDABLE & HOT!…
Just wait by reaching the age of 21, 22, & 23… if they think she is not like or could not be Angelina Jolie.. well, mabe just think once inwhile people : MAYBE , MAYBE, MAYBE, SHE COULD BE MORE THAN ANGELINA JOLIE…. Chances are people or let may say CAREER is not only by fate but trimmed to take such profession seriously & being valued.
Does Angelina knows how to Dance & Sing? This is what you call Skill / Talent that Angelina Jolie doesnt have during her 20’s… Havent you ever thought that…. ? That would be a great fear to Vanessa’s critics if she will be a bigger star than Angelina Jolie in the future… ( I am not against Angelina of course).
At the age of 20 she has invested even her own place @ $2.75M w/. luxurius cars… Does Angelina has these during her age… ?
These is just the slighest investment Vanessa has at the moment. Will see again in the next 2 -3 years time..
On her style: SHE is What she is! Simple clothing makes it stunning as always on her body. Why? Simple answer again, because SHE IS UNDENIALBLY A STAND OUT DRESSER. ( Lol lots of her contemporaries are pulling her style even her fans)
Vanessa has a STAR FACTOR already in her heart, she just keep on holding it to prove more that she could outshine it brightly.
not a label *****?!!! What store has she come out of that doesn’t sell designer names? (that’s a lie) what does that even mean?
@mykamicks:
couldn’t agree with you more…
and heck she’s only 20 and she’s all doing these movies… very hard if you were on that age but with vanessa it’s so easy for her, cause she’s hard working
she’s going to be a successful actress and an artist in the future…
i love her interview
O, she must mean, regardless of WHO she’s wearing, if she feels comfortable in it, then that’s what’s up…..
