Nikki Blonsky confirms what we knew as she reveals a kiss with Hairspray co-star Zac Efron ‘magic’

Nikki Blonsky joined the major leagues back in 2007, when she starred in the big screen adaptation of the Broadway play Hairspray.

And at least one part of the Golden Globe nominee ‘s experience on set is still influential, more than a decade later.

She recently confirmed what we all knew, as she revealed that her on-screen kiss with romantic director Zac Efron was nothing short of ‘magic’, as she opened up about the experience of the Women On Top podcast.

The 32-year-old said of the scene: ‘Zac and I stood there for nine days. It was very good. It’s magical. He is a very talented man, all in all. It’s all on, what can I say? ‘

She starred as the plucky and talented plus-size teenager Tracy Turnblad, who conquered the space to watch Baltimore’s dance show at The Corny Collins Show, where she wins the heart of the golden boy Link Larkin (Efron).

Based on the 2002 Broadway musical and the original theme, John Waters’ 1988 cult classic, the film came in for three Golden Globes and one Grammy.

Blonsky also revealed that their big kiss, which came after the film’s successful musical decision, almost earned them a PG-13 rating.
