Vanessa Hudgens leads quite the adventurous life. After all, how many 23-year-olds can say they've been skydiving and punched by a kangaroo?!
Hudgens, who is promoting her new flick "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," stopped by "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on Wednesday and shared footage of the first time she ever went skydiving.
"I felt like a rock star," said the 23-year-old actress. "I was up in the air, and I was like, 'yeah, take it world!'"
But Hudgens didn't feel too hot during a bizarre kangaroo encounter. The "High School Musical" star explained that during a recent trip to Australia, her co-star got a smooch from a kangaroo. But when Hudgens tried to kiss the seemingly friendly animal, the kangaroo made it clear that her feelings weren't reciprocated.
"I was like, 'Stop it, I want a kiss from the kangaroo!' So I like get down on my knees, and I'm petting this kangaroo and I go in for my kiss," said Hudgens. "And then it starts to back up, and then it got on its tail and it raised its arms -- and it started punching me!"
She adds, "This is so the exact opposite direction of what I wanted this to go in."
While the kangaroo didn't give Hudgens a kiss, it did give her some great talk show material!
