High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale 'feels weird' about turning 40
Ashley Tisdale "feels weird" about turning 40. The 39-year-old actress - who has daughters Jupiter, four, as well as eight-month-old Emerson with her husband Christopher French - will celebrate her milestone birthday in July but doesn't really have any huge plans to mark the occasion other than a simple dinner with her family and friends. Speaking on 'The View', she said: "It does feel weird, I don't feel 40 and I get told I don't look 40 so I feel like it's just a number. I'm just gonna do something really small. I had a baby eight months ago, Emerson, and I had a baby shower that was this big kind of party so I feel like I already did that. So I'm just doing dinner with my family and friends, making it small." The 'Phineas and Ferb' star initially found fame when she was cast as Maddie Fitzpatrick on the Disney Channel series 'The Suite Life of Zack and Cody' and then found further recognition as Sharpay Evans in the network's 'High School Musical' franchise alongside Zac Efron but joked that by the time her success came about she "wanted to retire" because she had been chipping away at it for so long. Ashley - who launched the wellness brand Being Frenshe in 2022 - said: "At 18, I wanted to retire from acting because I'd done it since I was three! It was one of those things where I'd always followed my intuition, and it's kind of cool to be in this stage of my life where I'm older. With Frenshe, COVID had happened and I really wanted to connect with people and talk about my journey there and talk about my mental health and my journey there. It wasn't like anyone was telling me to do it, I didn't have a manager or agent telling me 'Hey, you should do this now...' It was just like me wanting to do it." When asked about the enduring popularity of her 'High School Musical' alter-ego - who appeared in all three films within the trilogy and then in her spin-off TV movie 'Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure' - Asley admitted that it is "wild" to see the longevity but ultimately puts that down to the fans of the musical series. She said: "Literally, she's always referenced in popular culture still today, which is so wild, but she's an icon and she's very popular obviously but I think that it's such a fun movie and it's a comfort for everyone to go back to it. The fans are what made that."

People Are In Disbelief After Discovering Ashley Tisdale's Real Age Thanks To A Candid New TikTok, And The Comments Are Too Good
Hot Topic 🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Disney This is Ashley Tisdale. You probably know her best from her Disney days; she starred in fan-favorite films and TV shows like High School Musical, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure, to name a few. Today, Ashley — who is now mom to two little girls named Emerson and Jupiter with husband Christopher French — runs wellness brand Frenshe. Well, tons of internet users are currently in disbelief as they have only just discovered Ashley's real age. For context, Ashley was in her late teens and early 20s when she starred in Suite Life and HSM. And while it might feel like those beloved projects only came out a few years ago, it's actually been roughly two decades now — and Ashley is currently 39. Taking to TikTok, Ashley — who turns 40 on July 2 — shared a playful video using an 'aged' filter to joke about how she thought she'd look at age 40, before removing the filter to show her actual skin. 'Almost 40 and still feeling 25,' she wrote. Needless to say, fans were pretty shocked. 'I cannot fathom that you are 40, it seems like yesterday you were on suite life,' one person said. 'I'm sorry… you're almost 40? I refuse to believe it,' said another. '40!?!? Then how old am I?!?!?!?' someone wrote. 'I just googled it…. There's no way you're 39. You literally look 25 (my age) lol,' another comment read. 'FOURTY ?!?! Girl you were just in high school musical yesterday ????' someone questioned, while more users begged Ashley to 'drop the skincare routine' immediately. Meanwhile, some users suggested that Ashley has potentially had cosmetic work. Over the years, the star has been open about getting a nose job to fix a deviated septum and getting breast implants, which she later got removed due to health issues. She has denied using Botox for cosmetic purposes, and has only had it to help the pain she gets from TMJ — aka temporomandibular joint dysfunction — in her jaw. 'Girlypop either is gorgeous but let's not act like money didn't help and it's ok to normalize the 'how I thought I'd look' for people who can't afford cosmetic surgery,' one person commented under Ashley's TikTok. Another person wrote, 'I wish I had money.'

Brenda Song Says She and Macaulay Culkin Share ‘Trauma' From Child Acting
Though Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin's similar beginnings as child actors was not among the first things they bonded over, the star of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody revealed that she and her partner later connected over shared 'trauma.' During a Monday episode of podcast Sibling Revelry with Kate and Oliver Hudson, Song—who found fame as a young actor on the Disney Channel—reflected on 'certain anxieties' she and Culkin share stemming from working in the spotlight at a young age, and discussed how it has impacted their relationship. 'It wasn't one of the first things we connected on, but I think there was this unspoken understanding that we've had certain trauma that we both share that we didn't even quite realize stems from us being child actors,' Song said. 'Certain anxieties or stressors or even triggers that you don't realize ... you don't realize, as a kid, how much that affects you as an adult.' The Last Showgirl star went on to claim that she and Culkin had 'very different' experiences despite both growing up in Hollywood. Culkin, who shot to movie stardom and Christmas royalty after starring in Chris Columbus' 1990 classic Home Alone, was 'the most famous child actor in the world.' '[It] impacted how we look at our relationship with the industry now, how he looks at it, and how I look at it,' Song continued. 'I always say, like, I've been in this business for 33 years, and I still love it. Something must be wrong with me.' 'It's also been really nice, though, to have someone who truly just really understands,' the actress added. 'He gets what I do on a different kind of level, and it's been so nice. I've never had that before,' she continued, noting that she had never dated an actor before. Song is one of the Disney Channel's most beloved alums, having starred in its widely popular sitcom The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and film Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior. Meanwhile, Culkin's work as a child actor includes the Home Alone series and Richie Rich. The couple began dating in 2017 after working together in Changeland, Seth Green's directorial debut. They have since welcomed two children together and got engaged in 2022.
