Vanessa Hudgens - ‘I'm An Indie Girl'

The Actress, Singer And Dancer Is Making A Serious Comeback With The Help Of Her Idol, Jennifer Lopez

For a long time, such a prominent thing was girls not supporting each other, backstabbing each other, trying to tear each other down,’ says Vanessa Hudgens, who found an unlikely equal in her idol, Jennifer Lopez, 49. The 29-year-old plays Zoe, the corporate boss of Jen’s character Maya in their new romantic comedy, Second Act. A singer, dancer and actress herself, the boho beauty gushes, ‘The aura of JLo is such a real thing. It’s tangible, you see it.’ Here, Vanessa opens up about her life, her career and working with an icon…

Spill, what’s JLo really like?

She legit has an empress aura, she’s dreamy.

Are you always confident with the career decisions you make?

I woke up at 27 and I was like, ‘I have no idea who I am and what I’m doing.’ Which is funny because at 25, I was like, ‘I’ve got life covered! We’re good!’

Your profile went a little quiet around that time…

A lot of times, I don’t think people know me or know my work. Sometimes I feel like that can allow me to sit on the sidelines a little bit.
