DESCRIPTION

Vanessa Hudgens stars in the new movie “Gimme Shelter.” She gained weight to play Apple, a teen mom who must choose between her new life as a mother and her own parents. The movie is a bit melodramatic but Hudgens gave her all to the role much like her memorable performance in last year’s “Spring Breakers” and “Frozen Ground.”

In this interview, we talked about:

*** What got her interested in making “Gimme Shelter”
*** How she picked the characters she plays
*** How she prepared as Apple
*** What she learned from hanging around with teen mothers
*** She gained weight, and dove into the psyche of her character, we’re talking about Oscar territory here
*** I’m proud of my fellow Filipino!
