Posted on 26 Jan 2007 by Sarah
The HSM star answers some random questions!TEEN: What's the strangest dream that you've had?V.A.: It was so random and it felt so real. My sister was marrying a cupcake. And then a cupcake shot up into the air and made cupcake babies and there was a whole bunch of them. My dad was like, "This is a suitable husband for you." So I married a cupcake, too! TEEN: What would you like to see happen in the HSM sequel?V.A.:I'd like to see Gabriella come out of her shell a little bit and maybe have a little more fun. I know all of the fans want Troy and Gabriella to kiss so maybe it will happen. TEEN: Would you feel comfortable having an on-screen kiss?V.A.:Zac's a cute guy - might as well! TEEN: If you could work with any actor or actress, who would you want to work with?V.A.:I'd want to work with Nicole Kidman. TEEN: Do you have any celebrity crushes?V.A.:I don't know, I'm so weird. I like normal people! TEEN: What type of guy do you like?V.A.:I like surfer guys and guys who are taller than me which is not hard because I'm only 5'3. I usually like darker hair and lighter eyes so there's a contrast and having a nice body helps! A fun personality, someone who isn't afraid to be stupid and act like a kid and make me laugh. TEEN: Where would you like to see yourself five years from now?V.H.Doing what I love most - keep on acting. Source
