Ashley Tisdale plays MKP’s fave High School Musical character Sharpay, the spoilt, bitchy, ulta-preened, over-the-top rich kid who has been trying (and failing!) to steal Troy from Gabriella since HSM began. We caught up with the gorrrgeous starlet for a chinwag about her part in High School Musical 3, the film that everyone’s talking about, as well as to find out about her super-successful acting and singing career. Plus she filled us in on what it’s really like to be a young star in Hollywood, gave us the goss about what she gets up to with best pal Vanessa when the cameras aren’t rolling and told us about the HSM cast super-soaking Zac on set. Phew, we’re out of breath just thinking about it!
Sharpay has been the spoilt rich kid drama queen in the last couple of films, can we expect more of the same from her in this one?
That she’s completely the opposite of me. It’s always a challenge to play someone completely different. It’s so much fun, I love it! She’s been one of my favourite characters I’ve played, and yeah she’s the mean girl, but she’s also comedic, which is fun.
Do you not have any similarities with her?
The only similarities I do have to Sharpay is that she loves to perform. I love to perform. She’s very driven – I’m driven, but that’s really where it ends.
You get to wear lots of glamorous outfits in the film, do you have a favourite one?
Oooh, my favourite outfit?! You know I’d have to say one of my favourite outfits was in I Want It All, the foxy number, the leotard with the white tuxedo jacket with tails. It’s my favourite just because it’s something that’s like old – you know it’s kind of a throwback, very Chicago-like. It was my first time dressing up in something like that and so I was just like ‘Are you sure I get to wear a leotard?’ and they were like ‘Yes I’m sure, it’s a costume, you know, it’s for the part!’ I was like ‘OK!’. It’s very different for me and the short wig was really fun. So it was really cool, I love that outfit!
