Ashley Tisdaleis kissing and telling!
The 34-year-old actress revealed with whom she shared her worst on-screen kiss, and it happens to be one of her close friends and fellow Disney Channel alums.
“I’ll tell you why it was the worst, okay? I had to kissZac EfrononThe Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and it’s the worst because I am so close to him and he’s like my brother,” Tisdale said in an episode ofEllemagazine’s “Thirst Trap”interview series on YouTube.
“At the time, he was used to acting on like, Warner Brothers, which is CW, and we were on Disney Channel,” Tisdale explained, noting the difference between the two networks. “And so he like, he tried kissing me with his tongue, and I was like, get away from me! I closed my mouth so fast.”
“I was like, ‘this is Disney Channel, we don’t kiss like that on Disney Channel!'” she recalled, adding that it was “weird” for her because of their longtime friendship.

“It’s just weird when you’re so close to somebody, and we’d already done the movie, I’d known him for years before,” she said, referring to co-starring inHigh School Musicalwith Efron, 32. “That is why it was the worst. It’s just we’re too close.”
Since their Disney Channel days, both stars have continued their acting careers beyond theHigh School Musicalfranchise. Tisdale most recently appeared in the Netflix seriesMerry Happy Whateverand is also in the CBS seriesCarol’s Second Act.
Efron, meanwhile, appears in the Facebook Watch seriesHuman Discoveriesopposite Anna Kendrick and recently starred as Ted Bundy in the Netflix movieExtremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.
While Tisdale and Efron’s chemistry may have been lacking, theGreatest Showmanstar famously dated their otherHigh School Musicalcostar, Vanessa Hudgens, for five years.
“It started off really organically,” Hudgens, 31,previously saidof her off-screen relationship with Efron, which started in 2005. “I could not have been more grateful to have that relationship at that time.”
