Ashely Tisdale French and Vanessa Hudgens were once close friends but have seemingly drifted apart over the years. French and Hudgens are best known for starring in the High School Musical franchise as Sharpay Evans and Gabriella Montez, respectively, but their friendship started earlier when they appeared together in a different project. "We actually worked together a year before in a Sears commercial, and from that day on we were super close," French exclusively told Us Weekly in 2019.
