Vanessa Hudgens Says Her Dream Role Is 'Constantly Evolving': 'That's What Is So Exciting About Being an Artist'
Vanessa Hudgens doesn't have one bucket list moment in her head — she has a bunch!
"It evolves over time. When I was younger, it was to be like the princess from NeverEnding Story, and then it became Satine from Moulin Rouge. It’s constantly evolving, but that’s what I think is so exciting about being an artist — you are allowed to constantly evolve with the work that you do," the actress, 35, who recently revealed she's expecting baby No. 1 with husband Cole Tucker, replied when asked what her dream role is.
In the meantime, the brunette beauty is enjoying getting the opportunity to interview people on the red carpet.
"It depends on what the event is. Hosting the Oscars red carpet is wild. Being shoulder to shoulder with everyone that I look up to and admire feels very surreal. But it’s a lot of work to host a show, and it is a lot on my adrenal glands because I’m just so hyped up the entire time. So, even though it terrifies me, the Oscars is kind of the only awards show that I want to do that for," she shared with Elite Daily.
Over the years, the High School Musical star has gotten the chance to chat with some amazing A-listers, which she doesn't take for granted.
"I’ve had so many. Interviewing friends is always really special just because I love them obviously, and I get to lift them up in front of everyone, which feels really good. But also, interviewing Nicole Kidman was a big highlight for me just because I’ve loved her for so long and she was just wonderful and everything that I wished her to be," she said of the epic moment.
As for what the rest of her year looks like, Hudgens is putting herself first.
"Incorporating more plant-based nutrients into my diet. It really does make such a big difference. I feel so much better throughout the day, and it's just a great way to start the day. So, I'm trying to incorporate plant-based nutrition into my breakfast every day," she said.
She added, "I’m trying to set realistic goals for myself. I don’t want to say I’m going to do something every single day because I feel like that’s kind of hard. So I’m like, OK, we’re meditating at least twice a week on Sundays and Wednesdays, and then we’re journaling twice a week on Mondays and Fridays. Those are the things that I’m trying to set for myself — rituals that are actually attainable."
