Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens has reportedly claimed that she is "bored" of playing a schoolgirl.

The High School Musical actress revealed that she is afraid of being typecast and is looking for opportunities to play a radically different character.

"People think of me as the High School Musical girl," she told Allure. "There's nothing wrong with that. My character was a great role model, but I get so bored doing the same thing. I want to grow like everybody else."

Hudgens's next part is in action movie Sucker Punch, in which she portrays a girl in a mental institute. Producer Zack Snyder recently suggested that fans of the star will be stunned by her transformation, saying: "You’re going to see her shooting machine guns, fighting, beating the s**t out of people."

Sucker Punch is scheduled for release in 2011.
