Vanessa Hudgens talked about why she skipped the 2024 Coachella Festival during a new interview with Bustle.
The 35-year-old performer has been a fixture at the annual music festival for several years, although this year she remained absent from the star-studded event.
When asked why she didn’t attend the event, the actress, who recently spoke of being “grateful” for a past breakup, claimed the idea of walking in the desert heat “sounded aggressive.” You have to walk a lot.
Hudgens revealed that she would not be attending Coachella by sharing a pair of photos on her Instagram account earlier this month.
In the snaps, the Spring Breakers star donned a festival-ready outfit and stuck out her tongue while relaxing in a grassy garden.

The artist, who is currently pregnant with her first child, wore a magenta dress that covered her growing baby bump, as well as a pair of open-toed sandals as she posed for photos.
She also accessorized with several pieces of jewelry and her voluminous brown hair remained down.
Hudgens also appeared as Naomi in the recently released comedy-drama film Downtown Owl.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Chuck Klosterman, originally published in 2008.
The film will focus on several residents of a small North Dakota town whose lives are turned upside down by the onset of a snowstorm.
Downtown Owl is co-directed by husband-and-wife duo Hamish Linklater and Lily Rabe, with the latter also leading the film’s cast.
Artists such as Ed Harris, Henry Golding and Finn Wittrock will complete the film’s cast.
Hudgens spoke about working on the film during her interview with Bustle, stating that she really enjoyed collaborating with Linklater and Rabe, both actors in their own right.

“It’s really nice to work with directors who are actors because they understand it in a different way. They understand the process and they know how to communicate in a way that helps tell the story from an actor’s point of view,” he said.
The official premiere of Downtown Owl took place during the Tribeca Festival in June of last year.
The feature has received mixed to negative reviews from critics and currently has a 46% rating on rotten tomatoes.
Downtown Owl premiered digitally in the United States on Tuesday.
