Vanessa Hudgens hides her face from the cameras as she leaves her hotel in Vancouver on Wednesday afternoon (September 2).

The 20-year-old actress, who recently celebrated four years with boyfriend Zac Efron, is in town to film her new action flick, Sucker Punch.

Vanessa’s costar Jamie Chung recently dished that the five girls — including Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish and Jena Malone — are training with real Navy SEALS. Jamie shared with E Online, “.”We have Navy SEALs doing physical training, and then we have stunt and fight choreographers from Watchmen and 300. It’s going to be awesome.”

Vanessa Hudgens recently sat down with the Montreal Gazette to chat about her upcoming role in the fantasy romance, Beastly.

The 20-year-old actress dished to the paper on why the role spoke to her, why she wouldn’t have taken the part and living every girl’s dream. Check it:

On the appeal of Beastly: “I just thought it was magical. Every girl wants to be a princess and Beauty and the Beast is a classic tale of a princess and a prince. Just the fact that it was going to be told in a way that was modern and edgy and sexy, that was very appealing. It wasn’t something that was too far away from my target audience, but it is, in a way, a step to building new fans. It does reach out to an older group. But I’m trying to take it slow and not do anything too drastic.”

On why she chose to take the role of Lindy Taylor: “With High School Musical, I adore my character and it’s so much fun. But (Beastly) is so much older and so much edgier, and it deals with tough situations, like my dad being a drug addict, and we really get to see people fall in love hard. The stakes are very high. It’s just sexy.”

On not taking the part if boyfriend Zac Efron had been the Beast: “Just because I feel we’re growing up and we want to be able to differentiate ourselves as actors. Not that I don’t want to do something with him eventually. But it’s just - we did our thing [High School Musical movies] together and we’re just going to let that be for the moment.”

Vanessa Hudgens and her new BFF, fellow starlet Ashley Greene, get in a little girl bonding time as they spend Thursday night (August 21) together in Vancouver, Canada.

Vanessa, 20, and Ashley, 22, were seen dancing together all night in the front row at the Kings of Leon concert at Vancouver’s GM Place on Saturday. They both went backstage after the show, as well as Vanessa’s boyfriend Zac Efron and the rest of the Twilight cast.
