She was the butter-wouldn’t-melt actress who won our hearts when she starred alongside Zac Efron in High School Musical.
But now it seems Vanessa Hudgens is determined to leave her Disney past behind her, and reinvent herself as a ‘badass’.
The 22-year-old actress started her reinvention with a butterfly tattoo on her neck, and last night revealed the inspiration behind the inking during an interview on the Late Show with David Letterman.
She said: ‘It was very last minute, but I’ve actually wanted it for years. A butterfly landed on my mum’s stomach a week before I was born and that’s how I got my name, because Vanessa means butterfly – it’s a Latin derivative.
‘It’s my very first tattoo, and I kind of feel like a badass now!’
But Letterman wouldn’t let Vanessa forget her High School Musical days, showing her a spoof of the final installment in the franchise featuring Bruce Willis in the famous Wildcats costume.
