Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens Has Asian Roots

American actress Vanessa Hudgens became prominent in Hollywood after appearing in High School Musical film series as Gabriella Montez. Thereafter, she played many roles in series and films for Disney Channel. After giving hit albums, she focussed on her acting career and performed stupendously in movies like ‘Beastly’, ‘Journey 2- The Mysterious Island’, ‘Gigi and Grease: Live’. Hudgens has recounted her past arguing that her upbringing has inculcated Filipino values as her mother is from Phillippines carrying Chinese, Filipino and Spanish roots. Vanessa’s father hailed from the Irish and American native descent. So, she is half American and half Filipino!
