Vanessa Hudgens Sings With The Grinch

Vanessa Hudgens made her first appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Friday. They showed a clip of a 9-year-old Vanessa performing as Cindy Lou at a local production of “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” in San Diego, Calif.

Adorable, no?

The 19-year-old High School Musical star also talked about her very first role in theater: “I auditioned for the Hunchback of Notre Dame and I wanted to be Esmeralda because that’s the girl part. I thought I could get it. But I actually got Quasimodo, the hunchback. So, I walked around with the hunchback and the crazy makeup.”

When asked if she had strict parents, Vanessa shared, “They weren’t that bad. They supported me and let me do acting. I must admit, I did get my mouth washed out with soap once. I actually, still to this day, don’t know why. I must have did something really wrong. I was 4-years-old, I don’t even know I said wrong… I honestly don’t really remember the taste.”

Watch the video below!

I see a very poised and confident young lady.

And I also agree that Z& V are in sync:

Vanessa was her natural, exuberant self in the interview. Her sweet personality came through. And she was adorable in the Grinch, with a great singing voice even then.

Wish there had been time for Leno to ask her about her future projects, especially the next movie she’s in talks to do as well as what her next single will be.

Love her. Actually, all the stars of HSM had acted before HSM and they all have future films coming out next year. Not that it matters to the “closeted fans” who race to every post to make the same comments Thanks for keeping the count up. We should soon be a over 100.

Ashley Tisdale on Zac and Vanessa:

“Vanessa and Zac are a great couple. We’re all like brothers and sisters on the set so there’s no jealousy about their romance,” Tisdale says. “It’s very sweet to see them so romantic and none of us mind seeing them like this together. They are as much in love off-screen as they are in HSM. There’s such a great chemistry that it is like a fairytale.”
