Vanessa Hudgens was home schooled


For the cast of the High School Musical movies, playing a group of teenage friends who attend the same school is not much of a stretch for any of them. Not only did Disney cast age appropriate actors to play the characters of Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, and the others, but the stars of the film have stated on several occasions that they are actually, in fact, friends. However, there is one cast member who perhaps may not be able to relate to lunch tables, school plays, and proms as well as the others. In a recent interview,Vanessa Hudgens opened up about her personal life and admitted something big: she didn't go to a high school at at all! 


Hudgens tells Australia’s The Daily Telegraph that she was actually home schooled. "This has been my high-school experience,” she said. “I got to make that close group of friends you have in high school. I got to graduate with them, to throw my cap in the air for the very first time. And I guess I got to have a fairytale prom.” Vanessa continued on by saying that she was very excited to come to a third High School Musical film this year, because it meant that she would get to do what she loved with her best friends.

For Vanessa, saying goodbye to the High School Musical films was harder than she expected. Not only was she leaving behind a job that she loved, but she also was moving on from the only high school experience she had ever known. "The last day [of filming] was just too many tears,'' she admitted. "We actually couldn't get back to filming because Kenny made this announcement, and the hair and makeup [people] were saying: we can't get makeup on them because they won't stop crying.'' 

The almost 20-year-old actress isn't quite done playing a high school student just yet.  Up next for Hudgens is the 2009 film Bandslam, in which she plays a popular student who teams up with a social outcast to form a band and compete in a school competition.
