Vanessa Hudgens the Coachella queen explains why she skipped the festival this year

Vanessa Hudgens opened up about why she skipped the 2024 Coachella Festival during a new interview with Rush.

The 35-year-old artist has been a fixture at the annual music festival for a number of years, although she remained absent from this year’s star-studded event.

When asked why she didn’t attend the event, the actress — who recently spoke about being “grateful” for a previous breakup — explained that the idea of ​​walking around in the desert heat “sounded aggressive.” It’s a lot of walking.’

Hudgens revealed she would not be attending Coachella by sharing a few photos on her Instagram account earlier this month.

In the snaps, the Spring Breakers star donned a festival-ready outfit and stuck her tongue out as she relaxed 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 in front of the snaps.

She also wore several jewelry, and her voluminous brunette hair was left free-flowing.

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, which was originally published in 2008.

The film follows several residents of a small town in North Dakota whose lives are turned upside down by the outbreak 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 talked about working on the film during her interview with Bustle, stating that she really enjoyed working with Linklater and Rabe, both of whom are actors in their own right.

“It’s just really fun to work with directors who are actors because they just understand it in a different way. They understand the process and know how to communicate in a way that helps tell the story from an actor’s perspective,” she said.

The official premiere of Downtown Owl took place during the Tribeca Festival in June last year.

The feature has received mixed to negative reviews from critics and currently has a 46% rating Rotten tomatoes.

Downtown Owl was released digitally in the United States on Tuesday.
