Olesya's OK Magazine Interview
During the Fourteenth Annual Family Party held at the Museum of Natural History and Cozy's Cuts for Kids, Olesya took some time out from chatting with her fans for an interview with OK Magazine about her upcoming role in "High School Musical 3" and working with Jessica Simpson on "Major Movie Star."
With the immense popularity of the first two "High School Musical" movies, Olesya is looking forward to starring in the third installment. "I hope we can tell another story while concluding the life of the Wild Cats into a memorable event," says Olesya. With wholesome themes and pop-catchy songs, the popularity of HSM in teen and tween groups has been phenomenal. "Maybe it's 'cause todays kids are kind of lacking a good, wholesome movie. It's really innocent. Our biggest problem is that the characters don't see each other enough! It's just innocent and a breath of fresh air," say Olesya.
Starring in the first two films catapulted Olesya into a major star and in front of the public eye. Olesya admits that the sudden stardom is somewhat of a shock. "It's definitely hard and I need to prioritize my life a little bit. I need to be more careful about my family and friends, just making sure things I don't want in the public not to be in the public," comments Olesya.
Olesya also talked about her upcoming movie with Jessica Simpson titled "Major Movie Star." From playing a high school girl to playing a girl joining the army, this new role is quite a departure for Olesya, but it's one that she enjoyed. "We join the army -- I play her best friend. That was so fun! I got to wear all the combat gear. I had a fake rifle and it was still really heavy. We filmed the movie and it was just really, really hot, "says Olesya. When asked about her co-star, Olesya couldn't say enough about Jessica. "She's a wonderful soul. She's probably one of the most genuine souls I've ever met. She's a very beautiful woman and I loved her spirit. She brought a 120% to work every single day. With three movies due for release in 2008 Olesya's been a busy girl herself.
