In Vanessa Hudgens’s most recent movie, “Bandslam,” she plays the character Sa5m (the 5 is silent). The role is very different from her most famous role of Gabriella in Disney’s High School Musical.

How did Vanessa get inspired for her new role? Turns out she watched a lot of The Addams Family television show and movies and based her character Sa5m off of the character Wednesday.

Vanessa told Sugar Magazine, “Don’t get me wrong, Gabriella was a great character to play – but she was a lot like myself, sweet and nice! Going out of my comfort zone to play the opposite of me and create a whole new person was really exciting…I watched The Addams Family a lot and tapped into Wednesday’s deadpan character. Plus I had to wear Dr Martens boots throughout the entire film. It was fun creating a whole new me.”
