Since her December split from Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens has found herself an unlikely suitor: 77-year-old Oscar-winning actor Michael Caine.
“He’s uh-mazing,” the former High School Musical star, 22, tells the March issue of Details about her Journey to the Center of the Earth costar. “Not only is he uh-mazingly, stupidly talented, but he still kind of hits on me. All the time.”
Even more surprising? Hudgens doesn’t mind.
“If it was anybody else, I’d be like, ‘Who the hell do you think you are?'” she tells the mag. “But because it’s Michael Caine, I’m like, ‘Sock it to me more, baby, come on!'”
The starlet explains that they bonded while filming in Hawaii.
“Throughout this whole movie we’re trudging through the jungle,” she says. “So, of course, we’re sweating. I can’t tell you how much time is spent putting oil on my chest. And Evian. Spraying Evian bottles on my chest and my arms and my forehead, but mostly my chest…But Michael’s always telling the makeup artists that he’ll take over and do it. I. Frickin’. Love. Him.”
As for her former beau of four years, Hudgens says she still has hope that she and Efron, 23, may reunite.
“We’re still friends,” she tells the mag. “Who knows what the future will bring. We’re figuring things out.”
