Interview
DYNAMITE: How has life been since High School Musical launched?
Vanessa: Crazy!
Zac: We never had any idea that it would do this well.
Vanessa: Yeah!
DYNAMITE: Is it hard to leave your houses with out being spotted by your enormous fan-base?
Vanessa: Actually, it isn't that bad! I love seeing all my fans and signing autographs. It's makes being an actor even better!
Zac: Exactly. We haven't had an encounter yet that wasn't something we'll all always remember.
Vanessa: One time, we [Vanessa and Zac] went out for lunch on one of our lunch breaks [when shooting HSM]. We weren't really sure what the best place to go was and Kenny [Ortega, the director] pointed out this little café.
Zac: Oh yeah! And on the way there I saw this CD store.
Vanessa: He dragged me in there. [she grins] I guess there was a celebrity there for the day, signing autographs, we didn't know!
Zac: The whole room was silent! Until this one little girl slowly raised her finger and said quietly, "VANESSA HUDGENS!!! OMIGOD!!!" We bolted outta there as fast as possible and ran to my car.
Vanessa: It was crazy!!! But soo sweet!
DYNAMITE: Do you think all of this fame will ever get to your head?
Vanessa: Oh no!
Zac: Definitely not.
DYNAMITE: So, you've started filming High School Musical 2?
Vanessa: Well, not just yet. We are into rehearsing a lot right now.
Zac: Learnin' the moooooves.
DYNAMITE: Do you have any plans to film outside of Disney?
Zac: I just finished filming Hairspray.
Vanessa: But I'm just working on my vocals right now, filming like a big movie for New Line Cinema is totally not in the bag right now! I've got way too much on my plate right now.
DYNAMITE: After High School Musical 2, did you hear the rumors about yourselves?
Zac: Oh yeah, I read in a magazine one day, when I was standing in the check-out, that Vanessa's parents were getting divorced!
Vanessa: Sad thing is, he believed it!
Zac: I dropped my stuff and ran out of the store to call Vanessa. She thought I was crazy and put her mom on the phone.
Vanessa: My mom bursted out laughing at him, it was total 'Zac Moment'.
DYNAMITE: You know you one 'Best Chemistry' at the Teen Choice Awards last year, and sitting right now I can tell you both have great chemistry together. Is Zanessa an item off-camera?
Zac: Zanessa?
Vanessa: [giggles] Like Brangelina!
Zac: [laughs]
Vanessa: Nooo! We're just really close friends.
DYNAMITE: What about you, Zac? Are you dating Ashley Tisdale?
Zac: No! We're just friends too. All of the HSM cast, we're all just friends!
Vanessa: Yeah, exactly! Zac and Luc [Lucas Grabeel, co-star] are deffinitly not together!
Zac: [laughs] Nope.
DYNAMITE: Are either of you dating anyone?
Zac: As of now, I'm single.
Vanessa: Me too!
DYNAMITE: Will there ever be a romance between Troyella?
Zac: Troyella?
Vanessa: [laughs] You'll have to wait for the sequel [High School Musical 2] before we tell you.
DYNAMITE: What about Zanessa?
Vanessa: We're just friends, really.
Zac: But who knows what the future holds.
DYNAMITE: We've heard rumors about a lot of Zanessa lip-action, care to clarify?
Zac: [laughs] Lip-action!
Vanessa: [laughs] Well no! We did kiss a few times at the end.
Zac: Yeah, Corbin [Bleu] missed his cue.
Vanessa: Like 10 times! Kenny [Ortega, director] would call Corbin in, but he would miss it everytime! So, when Gabriella and Troy leaned in for the kiss there was no one stopping them!
Zac: [laughs, grins] So they went for it.
