Zac Efron And Nikki Blonsky: Hairspray In Spain
It’s been a huge success so far, and as Hairspray premiered in Spain, Nikki Blonsky and Zac Efron sat down to answer some questions about the film.
Efron told press that Hairspray was a natural next step in his career. “After High School Musical, there were surprisingly few things except for other teen projects. In fact after High School Musical I didn’t do much of anything at all for about eight months.”
"Finally, after waiting and waiting, Hairspray came along. So it was a tedious time, seeing what would happen next, and for a while it didn’t look like anything was going to come along. Luckily this audition for Hairspray came along, and I felt blessed to be considered for the part - to be taken seriously was a very big deal. I was very grateful to them for keeping an open mind and seeing beyond the character of Troy Bolton.”
When asked if Hairspray was a fun movie to make, Zac told press, “The most surreal thing was working alongside actors we’ve admired for so long, people who’ll be the most-remembered actors of our generation. To have moments on screen with them is above and beyond anything I ever expected.
Nikki added, “Just seeing my name on the same credits made me cry. And then you’ve got greats like Queen Latifah and Allison Janney - Allison is my favorite character in the movie; I remember laughing out loud when I watched her shooting her scenes. And Brittany Snow, who plays the most evil person in the movie - I love her so much!”
And according to Blonsky, things are pretty much the same despite her newfound fame. “Life really hasn’t changed that much. Sure, my dream has come true and I’m working in the business that I’ve always wanted to be in, making movies. But I’m the same person. I still live at home with my family. I’m enjoying myself as a normal teenage girl would. I still have the same friends and do the same things. I mean, my favorite thing in the whole world is to go fishing with my dad. It’s not shopping in Beverly Hills.”
Enjoy the pictures of Zac and Nikki promoting Hairspray in Spain (September 12).

Dear Ottum,
Spain is in Europe.
Have you ever read a book?

Ok nikkis not fat and why would it suprise you that much if he was with her? Vanessas dodgy if she takes pictures of herself and sends them to zac.

[ottum] I can’t believe you think Spain is in Mexico. Spain is a COUNTRY and it’s in EUROPE.
Go to school and STUDY, for God’s sake.

Hairspray rocks!!!!!!!!
^-^
I agree with Olivia…
Nikki is not fat...and people don’t have the right to call “different” people names...because some people like the way they are....and you wouldn’t say that unless you haven’t seen the movie hairspray otherwise you’re just rude and shouldn’t have been bothered to see the movie. Another thing is that I would never think of Vanessa as an innocent person after doing what she did...and to thing I thought she was a good influence for children’s and teens.

....OK wow you guys, just you all think that what Vanessa did was Bad? how old is she? she’s Old enough to send Personal pictures to her boyfriend dont ya think??? well its not her fault, like she wanted everyone to see that...some stupid person with no life hacked in her computer and took that picture, its not her fault...so let it go...shes not a bad person

So what if nikki is fat. I think she is very sweet and they make a really cute couple. And that kid is an idiot for thinking spain is in mexico.

i love nikki!
she seems like such a sweet and genuine person. shes an amazing actress!!
and to all of you nikki haters:
you have no right to hate her because shes a plus size or because she kissed zac efron.
“zanessa” is over-rated, media controlled blabber in my book.
Ask yourself this:
Would you hate Nikki so much if Zac were dating her and not vanessa?
