Number Eight: She Really Gets Into Acting. For her role in 2013’s Gimme Shelter, Hudgens chopped off most of her hair and played a character whose reality is almost the exact opposite of Hudgens’ own. Hudgens said that it was very difficult to find her own identity after filming, but she said that “It was an amazing journey and an actor’s dream.”

Number Five: She Gets Stress Hives. In a 2015 interview Hudgens did, she admitted that she gets hives when she is really stressed out. She reportedly gets the hives on her neck.
Number Four: She Is a Feminist. But it took her some time to realize just what kind of feminist she is. In an interview, Hudgens said, “I used to be on the fence about [feminism], just because I feel like it gets to a certain place where it almost has the reverse effect…But now I feel like there’s this new wave of feminists coming up that are truly about equal rights for women.”
Number Three: She Is a Nice Girl. Hudgens has admitted that she used to stare down other girls who would chase after Zac Efron when the two were dating. However, she has since changed her tune, and she now focuses on spreading the love and being nice to other people.
Number Two: She Is a Practicing Christian. Since getting together with Austin Butler, Hudgens says that her passion for Christianity has awoken. The two reportedly attend a megachurch together.
Number One: She Is a Hippie at Heart. Hudgens might be religious, but she’s also in touch with her spiritual side. She says, “I’m literally my happiest self when I’m dancing half naked on a grass field listening to Led Zeppelin.”
