AceShowbiz - Disney star, Vanessa Hudgens, joins the long list of celebs who remember the life and career of Michael Jackson. Recalling the sweet memory she had with the late performer, she is cited as telling WENN, "I got a chance to meet him, which was incredible. Kenny Ortega, the director of High School Musical, was working with him on his last tour and he came out to one of the shows when we were on tour with High School Musical in Vegas."
"He came backstage with his kids and was just so sweet and so normal and it's really sad. I'll always remember it. It was extremely surreal," Vanessa says further. "I admire him so greatly like the rest of the world does but to be able to talk to him and see that he's a normal human being was crazy. I got to talk to him again on the phone ... It was so weird; like, how do you make small talk with Michael Jackson? It was odd but he was so kind and generous."
Michael Jackson passed away on June 25 after suffering cardiac arrest. At the time of writing, cause of his death is still listed as "deferred" as toxicology tests to find out what prompted his sudden death are still undergoing. Results of the tests are expected to come out in the coming weeks. In the meantime, Michael's family has not yet issued an official confirmation on where his remains will be laid to rest.
