Vanessa Hudgens admits that she loved listening to Michael Caine's showbiz tales when they worked together on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
The pair are set to star together in the Brad Peyton directed adventure movie, which will also star Dwayne Johnson and Josh Hutcherson.
Speaking to MSN Movies the actress said: "Oh my goodness he's amazing. That was one of my favourite things just sitting around on set and listening to him tell stories.
"He was such an open book of amazing knowledge and incredible stories, listening to the first time he went to Vegas with Frank Sinatra and all these incredible things.
"I admire him so much as a human being and for his body of work as well."
But Hudgens is back on the big screen this week with her new movie Sucker Punch, which sees her work with filmmaker Zack Snyder.
Sucker Punch is her first movie since Bandslam.
