So soon after the High School Musical franchise ended for her, is Vanessa Hudgens already desperate for work?

Without major prompting, the actress told E! Online this week that she’d gladly get naked in a future film.

“I will show nudity in a film when the time is right,” Vanessa said. “Right now, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it, but like I said, when the time’s right, if it’s an amazing movie that I’m really passionate about and that’s what it calls for, then we’ll see.”

Might Hudgens be aiming for retribution against Zac Efron, following his risqué photo shoot in Interview magazine in March?

After all, it’s not like Hudgens needs to make any birthday suit promises in order to land a role.

This summer, she begins shooting a pair of movies: Beastly, a retelling of Beauty and the Beast; and Sucker Punch!, based on a girl that is sent to a mental institution by her stepfather.

Vanessa’s history of nude photos might actually hurt her bare box office appeal. Why shell out $10 for a movie ticket when someone can surf the Web for free?
