Journey 2: The Mysterious Island actress Vanessa Hudgens is pretty notorious for her hippie-chic outfits and boho-chic vibes… and apparently, her love of unkempt, free-spirited style extends to her car.

In July 2016, the Disney Channel star was spotted going on her usual lunch and shopping run before hopping into her dusty car in Los Angeles.

Four years earlier, Vanessa Hudgens co-starred alongside Dwayne Johnson and Josh Hutcherson in the science fantasy action-adventure film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island – a sequel to the 2008 film Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Josh Hutcherson was the only actor to return from the previous movie.

She played Josh Hutcherson’s romantic interest in the movie. Despite mixed to negative reviews from critics, the movie was a box office success, earning $325 million worldwide during its theatrical run, surpassing the earnings of its predecessor.

Playing the role of Kailani, a strong-willed islander who helps Sean (Josh Hutcherson) and his team navigate the dangers of the mysterious island, her performance in the movie was well-received, and her chemistry with Hutcherson was praised by critics.
