Vanessa Hudgens caught up with Seventeen mag on the set of her upcoming fantasy romance, Beastly, in Montreal, Quebec, and revealed that she once hated her gorgeous legs!

The 20-year-old Bandslam beauty shared, “When I was younger, I despised my legs. I thought I had tree stumps for legs because I was a dancer. They got pretty big at times. But as I got older, I learned to appreciate them because I have muscular legs. Not a lot of people have that and it makes my legs look better when I wear high heels.

Vanessa continued, “I think you just gotta work with what you got. You can always want to improve yourself, there’s nothing wrong with that. I think being healthy is great, working out is fun — go do it with your girlfriends. Just have fun, don’t beat down on yourself too hard.”
