I think this kid looks a little like Clay Aiken…and has some of his qualities as well.

Just because a guy is prettier than most girls does not make him gay!

Thanks, Just Jared!

They expect this barbie doll to play a rebel?!? Lol

Thank god for Shia LaBeouf, A real young actor.

Oh good lord.
I hate this kid.
Enough, Hollywood. Enough.

Well, I seem to be in the minority here that actually is glad he is getting recognised and offered all these parts. I think he’ll do a good job because he is talented, as is Shia La Boeuf, but they are two very different actors who take on different roles.
Jared thanks for the Zac and Vanessa pics, no one else seems to have many yet, keep them coming!! :D

i love the look on vanessa’ face int eh first zanessa pic
good 4 zac i know vanessa has been looking at scripts well see where she’ going
we need new fresh actors

I like Zac, but I think he should do something different. Not only musicals…

I think unlike most teen heartthrobs who fade away from the spotlight as they become adults, Zac has that X factor. I definitley see him being one of the future male movie stars.

excuse me, but Naomi is going to go hysterical in 3,2,1: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW?

ok, over :d

now this: why the **** are they ruining good classics? what’s next? the ******* sound of music with britney and k-fed? or moulin rouge with Posh and becks? the **** is hollywood doing, leave the ******* classics alone, it’s a part of ******* film history (in the time when films were still ******* good, ’til ‘00).
and if the actors would be good, okay, but ZAC GAYFRON? again why?????????
I knew hollywood was fucked up, but THIS fucked up, unbelieveable!?

oh yeah, I think hollywood sees him as the new Brad **** (excuse me for my lingo here, I can’t stand that man *looks around, realises she said something offensive ’cause 99,9% of the population in the whole wide world loves the Braddders and runs away quickly!*

to the bashers…have you ever actually seen him in anything?? You’re just judging him by the way he looks…jealous!! btw-He’s NOT gay.

Sophia, you called him talented, but what has be done? How do you know he’s talented, he hasnt done sheit. Lol

He’s like the male Megan Fox. Lol But she’ll actually have a ‘good’ career. this poor child will do craptastic work for the rest of his career. little plastic fa@@got.

what the HELL? listen, i was born in 1983, and even I don’t think it’s time for a remake yet. MUCH LESS one with a pompous little a$$ like this dude.

I WANT KEVIN BACON!

No…..seriously? Re-making Footloose is ridiculous, it would be like re-making Grease. It is a classic film & I have watched it a million times & have never gotten bored of it, it does not need to be remade, it is perfect. Please don’t ruin it, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!

ok i like zac and all. BUT WHAT THE EF!?!?! he SO cannot replace kevin bacon! that movie was(well is) gold and they shouldnt remake it.

they keep this up, zac’s gonna end being type-casted and bramded as that “musical guy.” i think he should try something else.
