Vanessa Hudgens has admitted that some of her younger fans have made her hesitant about having children of her own.

“All this exposure to young children does put me off having them,” The 20-year-old actress, who played Gabriella Montez in Disney’s hit High School Musical franchise, joked to The Mirror on Sunday.

“I love kids, don’t get me wrong, because without them I wouldn’t be where I am today, but they do follow me around to the most peculiar places,” Vanessa added.

“And they’re very loud! When they start screaming it’s sweet to see how enthusiastic they are, but I’m going to go deaf sooner than most people. It’s impossible to calm them down when they start, I just cover my ears.”
