Vanessa Hudgens, known for her role in Disney’s High School Musical franchise, made a bold move by accepting a risqué threesome scene in a film but later expressed regrets about it.

The 35-year-old actress rose to fame as Gabriella Montez alongside Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale during the 2000s, capturing the hearts of young audiences.

Transitioning from her clean-cut image, Vanessa ventured into more mature roles, including her appearance in films like Bad Boys for Life and The Princess Switch.

However, in 2012, she embraced a daring role in the crime drama Spring Breakers, directed by Harmony Korine.

In the movie, Vanessa portrayed Candy, one of four young women embarking on a Spring Break adventure that takes an unexpected twist involving a drug dealer, played by James Franco.

Notably, a provocative threesome scene unfolded between Ashley’s character Brit and Franco’s character Alien, adding a jaw-dropping element to the narrative.

Reflecting on her decision to participate in the film, Vanessa revealed to Glow magazine that she saw it as an opportunity to shed her wholesome image post-High School Musical.

She expressed pride in the project, describing it as a unique, fresh, and exciting cinematic experience.

The scene in question depicted a steamy interaction between Candy, Brit, and the menacing drug dealer in a nighttime pool setting.

Vanessa and Ashley engaged in passionate moments, exuding raw intensity as they embodied their characters’ desires.

Despite her initial enthusiasm for the role, Vanessa later admitted her discomfort with the scene.

She confided in E!

Online that it was an unprecedented challenge for her, emphasizing her gratitude for having her close friend Ashley Benson by her side during the shoot.

Subsequently, Vanessa conveyed her reluctance to engage in similar explicit scenes in the future, citing the nerve-wracking nature of the experience.
