Ashley Tisdale: Speedo Scenes are Awkward!

Ashley Tisdale says hello to a female friend while sitting in her mom Lisa‘s car outside an L.A. coffee shop on Saturday morning.

A half-hour later, the 22-year-old High School Musical star popped into Chris McMillan hair salon in Beverly Hills for another hair treatment.

Earlier this week, Ashley was interviewed today by Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show to talk about her new ABC Family movie, Picture This! Listen here (mp3).

This Tizz was also interviewed by TVGuide. Here are some excerpts:

Were there any growing pains, though, when your career was taking off? There are so many trust issues playing out in the movie, it seems that would be tough to navigate. My parents are really supportive. They obviously wanted me to have a very normal childhood. And that’s why I worked at a clothing store, because they wanted me to understand the value of a dollar, and how hard it was.

You’ve said that carrying Picture This! was a big challenge for you. Were there any other personal hurdles in the movie, or scenes that were tough to nail? Anytime you have a kissing scene with someone it is very awkward. And he’s in a speedo, and you’re in a lifeguard suit – it’s embarrassing and awkward, and you just meet the person, so it’s weird. But I’m always up for a challenge. The most challenging was the prosthetics [in the mall scene], I had an allergic reaction to the prosthetics. The stuff they use to put it on the skin made me itch.
