Vanessa Hudgens used to turn down roles because she "wanted to be lazy".
The 29-year-old actress rose to prominence after starring in the 'High School Musical' franchise when she was in her late teens, but has said that during the early days of her career she managed to turn down several roles after claiming she didn't want to be "pigeonholed", and later realised she was using it as an excuse to be "lazy".
When asked what advice she would give to her younger self, Vanessa said: "I probably turned down some work because I just didn't really want to work. I wanted to be a kid and be lazy and not have responsibility.”
Now, the 'Powerless' star is much more willing to take on roles, and would love to play a "fearless action hero" along the lines of Catwoman.
