OlderZac Efron: Nikki Blonsky is My Best Friend
Tue, 11 September 2007 at 1:31 pm
Zac Efron admits that Hairspray co-star Nikki Blonsky is his best friend in an interview with Aussie cinema site YourMovies. Best friends apparently kiss each other on the lips on live TV too!
When asked if their onscreen chemistry is a little bit real, Zac answered, “Well, there’s no one better to work with. We honestly became best friends. It’s cool that there’s all these great older actors, but it’s not like were gonna go, “Let’s go hang out with Chris Walken, let’s go to the mall”. [All laugh] You don’t do that. Also, her family was so nice to me, they were like my other parents.
Nikki added, “[We’re] just one big happy Hairspray family.”
Hairspray opens in Aussie theaters on Thursday, Sept. 13.

I think i like Nikki
so? lol.
BAMPZS’s have fun at their thread!!! lol
Melissa, Ellen, Missouri Fan, briseis, starting college tomorrow they wont be many postings from me.
*sigh* i love them together.
this kid needs to stop being all over every girl in the world and start paying attention to his girfriend
He is such a layer
http://www.gossip-dirt.com
chubby chaser.
he reeks of fakeness…you can see it all over his face
Why is he a layer? they are sweet together.
He is hot!!!
Nikki seems like a very sweet girl but I still think that Zanessa are adorable. It is not a crime for him to be best friends with Nikki (it does not make him “a player” or “a chubby chaser”) that last comment is very mean by the way! Nikki is a beautiful girl and the fact that she is comfortable with her body makes her that much more beautiful. But I am still all about Zac and V!
He should dump Vanessa and date Nikki. Zanessa’s relationship appears only physical. Nikki and Zac seem to have a deeper connection.
What’s wrong with being best friends? I think it’s great! They had fun co-starring in a movie together. What’s so wrong with that?
Give them a break, people!
If he wants to be friends with a big girl then let him, he’s not hurting anyone. Though, I don’t think his girlfriend would be very pleased with him kissing her on national television!
They are a cute couple
i like zac but he is yet to show that he cares about whats happening to vanessa..I mean yeah they were together in australia, but look at all the other posts from the vanessa headline, a lot of people think he broke up with her! its not true of course, but i just think he needs to show something or say something! geezz, I think chris brown was right when he said “she has a boyfriend who is too busy pretending they are not together to defend her.” I got this from one of the other sites they said its from an article where he was asked about the whole scandal…and it made me realize how true it is..
Zac can say that he’s “best friends” with whomever he wants. The fact remains that when he’s back home in Cali, it’s Vanessa we always see him with and not Nikki. Enough said.
That “kiss” is being blown out of porportion, in my opinion. It was in response to a dare by a Canadian TRL Host. It wasn’t even on TV in the States.
Haha what a flirt.
I feel bad for Vanessa though
They would be nice together.
Im pretty sure nikki is a nice girl but…i just donr see thecuteness he has with Vanessa…They r so adorable!heha. It’s true Zac might not pay Vanessa much attention right now but hes been traveling the world for Hairspray.I’m sure she understands!
Luv Zac
Luv BBV (no matterwhat)
and Nikki is alright!

I think chris brown was right when he said “she has a boyfriend who is too busy pretending they are not together to defend her.”
hes rite i read that 2 even her friend miley cirus
has shown to be a friend in time of need
http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_tv_tvblog
i’m not judgeing zac but
this teaching a life old lesson you know who are your true friends when ur in need and we all find ourselves sometime in our lives in need od compation and encouragement
“power to the peaceful”
i think its great that there best friends
WHat article does Chris Brown say this? I know from a past interview that Chris has a crush on Vanessa….
he tries to get attached to every girl so no one will suspect he’s gay.
harsh, harsh, harsh!!!
i do wanna see the love from zac though. they should be appearing together in australia for hsm2 premier!!!!
LETS SEE SOME LOVE!
OH AND BTW, WHERE’S THE CHRIS BROWN QUOTE. YOUR LINK IS NOT RELEVANT!
I think it’s so sweet that he considers Nikki his best friend.
yea what’s up with zac not defending his girl. i think chris and v would make a cute couple though. at least chris brown can dance lol
sweet of him. Guys can have girl best firends. it’s like his relationship with Ashely. he still has Vanessa. i have guy best friends it doesn’t mean i like them in that way.
Alot of people are saying how Nikki and him have such a deep connection,even more than V but I think that they wouldnt show thier feelings for each other because that would give a easy clue. Im sure you would be suprised to how they act to each other in private and anyway I bet they have even more fun wih eachother. And its NOT just a physical relationship.
Zikki=BF
Zanessa=LOVE
That Chris Brown comment. But, I was just thinking the same thing. Why isn’t Zac defending her? It’s starting to look like he does not even care for her. He could easily say Yes, I’m with her and end it right with I am not going to talk about it though. end of story. It’s not like Zac will be hated by his fans or not gain new ones, after all he is a great actor and a cutie. Plus, he had nothing to do with Vanessa pics. Maybe Chris Brown should be who Vanessa is dating. He sounds more confident in himself, thus make a better boyriend than maybe Zac will ever be. I’m just saying….
i have a feeling he has more in common with nikki than vanessa…if i had a bf who would admit that anothr girl was his best friend i would get totally jealous…nad their recent pics in australia showed more closeness than any zanessa pics i’ve seen…and zak admitted that he made out with nikki in malibu beach…so is that what best friends do to each other…now can i be his next best friend….
I AM ALL FOR CHRIS BROWN STEALING VANESSA HUDGENS AWAY FROM ZAC….. HE IS SUCH A DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zac and Vanessa are probably still going out. But if your all worried you only need to worry for two days. If they break up Vanessa will tell Jay Leno thursday night.
And I don’t blame Zac for not talking about this.I’m willing to Bet that Zac doesn’t want to talk about it because it’s a real weird thing. If my girlfriend had naked pictures and people were ripping on her, I’d just say “I don’t Want to Talk about it”.
Nobody is rushing to Vanessa’s defense publically, so far only the Cyrus(s) have said anything. Ashley hasn’t said anything and they claim to be best friends!
Man, If that was my girlfriend. I’d be freaked if she was out there without me by her side! She had Nude photos for all the world to see-she could be hounded by perverts that want to cause her harm! ZAC EFRON does not give two licks about VANESSA. I say she should dump him and get a REAL MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wouldn’t it be wild if Ashley or Zac was the one who released the pics? Ashley because she’s competing with Vanessa for the spotlight and Zac becuase he really wanted to break up with her??
Oooooo. That would be a major scandal. The possibilities are endless!
AWWWWWWW! I REALLY LOVE THEM!
Great Zac…you’re really helping Vanessa with that quote.
Chris Brown is right. Zac spends too much time denying his relationship with Vanessa, and too little time acting like her boyfriend.
here’s an old article i found but chris totally had a crush on V even when she’s was dating zac….actually now that i think about it chris and vanessa would totally make a cute couple. i love me some chris brown
http://www.teenmusic.com/boards/music-fan-boards/thread/5076/279899/1/chris-brown-and-vanessa-ann-hudgens.html
as for getting a real man i say zak must have done something right to make vanessa happy…she wouldn’t pursue him like that if he was all mixed up inside…she’s a very young girl who cannot fake her feelings i would say…so the answer to that naysayers is zak efron knows how to please a woman and make her feel good inside…those hawaii pics are a giveaway to how they feel…
i have to agree
ryan seacrest said he has a crush on vanessa
i’m sure he would step up
remember the idiot is still out there who leaked these
photos
vanessa needs her guy to step up and be there 4 her
zac whats it gonna be dude!!!!
i geuss everyone is waiting to see what happens on leno but
it were my friend you’d hear my voice
i support vanessa
vanessa really check on the people you
call friends!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-slcYZyFiE
heres ryans stating he has a crush on vanessa
I have a crush on Vanessa. It doesn’t mean s##t.
Zac was wearing the promise ring in every interview i’ve seen of him including 1 from 3 days ago. whene the scandal was at it’s peak.
Zac doesn’t want to talk about it while promoting Hairspray. Once he gets back to the States he’ll probably talk. Also heres somthing. you know how Zac always seems more comfortable at premires with Nikki then Vanessa? That’s because with Vanessa around Zac is thinking “if i say or do anything stupid I’ll embarrass my Girlfriend” whith Nikki around he isn’t afraid of embarrasing her. whenever they’re together with minimal papparazzi Zanessa is as cute as can be, Zac just doesn’t want to embarrass her at premires and stuff.
CHRIS BROWN & VANESSA HUDGENS! I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT!
Awwwe, Chris said his nickname for her is V-Nessa. That is so cute! Did you see his performance at the VMA’s. He is yummy.
Let me see if i’m missing something:
so a guy is out at an event for work, and a reporter shoves a microphone in his face and asks about his gf posing naked and the pics are on the internet:
bf responds: duh, i don’t want to talk about it. why would he!!!!!!!!!!!!
i saw a interview where the anchor showed zac a pic of the two of them relaxing by the pool at his apartment, and he was stunned into silence. what reaction can we expect him to make.
Regardless, however, i do wanna see some support. i want to see how the hsm cast behaves at the aussie premier.
SHOW SOME LOVE!!!!!!
How could zac say that ugh he didn’t even defend Baby V
I like Nikki but i’m a zanessa supporter. But if he won’t even defend or pay attention to baby v.Chris and v do make a good couple.bay v desearves better!!
!Proud Baby V Supporter!
He was probably just saying that ’cause Nikki was there.. look:
“Let’s go hang out with Chris Walken, let’s go to the mall”. [All laugh]
“ALL LAUGH”
Damn I’ve been really pissed off with Zac since the Hairspray promotions started to be honest.
Don’t start yelling at me.
Hello Zac! Ummmmmmm……….. Where are you when your GF needs you!!!!
What about all the lovey-dovey photos with Vanessa in Hawaii frolicking on the beach and kissing in the ocean?
Is Vanessa toast now after her nudie pics got posted?
A new beard, anyone?
Zac was with Vanessa in Australia. but he’s contractually bound (meaning he loses money) to stay with the Hairspay cast. He can’t be there because he made a legal promise to be with his castmates. He’s probably calling Vanessa regularly. And Frankly the oppertunity hasn’t presented itself for him to talk about this issue. I think Vanessa knows he’s there for her.
ok was zac wearin his ring!?!?!?!
i hope so!
zanessa 4ever baby!
WAY TO STEP UP THERE ZAC! EVERBODY’S YOUR FRIEND!!! *ROLLS EYES*
CAN’T EVEN SHOW VANESSA ANY LOVE. I’M STARTING TO GET IRRITATED WITH HIM!
People RELAX! Zac has a life outside vanessa. He is doing his Job ffs. He can’t be on about Vanessa ALL the time!
The Zanessa fans need to stop being insecure. Him and Nikki are just close friends; and it’s good that Zac has such a relationship; i mean having found out your girlfriend has naked pics on the net isn’t somethng you want to think about all the time & having Nikki around in a way is a blessing in disguise.
From what i am seeing he is really enjoying the hairspray promotion tour and so he should he worked dead hard for that film. And congrats to both Nikki and Zac for such a successful worldwide hit Film. At the end of the day Zac is an actor not some person who spills his personal life out in the open to people and he shouldn’t have to act how “Zanessa” fans think he should act!
Just let him be. Enjoy you’re time abroad Zac once in a life time & Nikki looks like a person who would be an awesome friend!
sweet zac!!
please support Vanessa!!

I think CHRIS BROWN needs to give VANESSA a call QUICK~ I’d soooo like to see that happen~
Zanessa fans will even be more upset if they see the picture of Nikki and Zan in the Hairspray premier in Madrid. Zac and Nikki are holding hands. Just psych yourself up - zanessa might be over very,very soon.
What about vanessa and shai lebeouf? I bet they’ll look cute as well.
is he in madrid already
or r u jking
haha i love they arguing between everyone! IT makes me laugh. Im a big Zanessa fan, and cant say i loveeee the whole Zac and Nikki close thing. He’s probably just a really nice guy and is able to get on with everyone really well.
I can understand that he trys to keep the focus on his work. Im sure he wants to become a great actor, and keep making films, so i understand how he’s trying to keep those interviews on track discussing his work. However, last week would have been a ****** week for V, it would been nice if he just said I love her dearly and thats all that needs to be said. It woulda been nice to see him stand up for her. But oh well, im sure he was really concerned for her, and taking care of her in Oz.
P.s i think its so cute Ryan decleared he has a crush on Vanessa.haha oh and Chris Brown………. watch out Zac.
Oh and i forgot to mention. You know how people are getting a bit fired up over Zac and Nikki, can u imagine when Zac does another film with some young really beautiful chic. The rumors are going to be crazy.
Lola said~ “Zanessa fans will even be more upset if they see the picture of Nikki and Zan in the Hairspray premier in Madrid. Zac and Nikki are holding hands. Just psych yourself up - zanessa might be over very,very soon.”
OH, HE CAN HOLD NIKKI’S HAND AT A PREMIER BUT NOT VANESSA’S (HIS GIRLFRIEND!) AT ANY SHOWING??????????
WOW! WHAT A PRIZE BF HE IS!
hi zac i love you you are the bestt !!!!!!!!!
zac i love you
Nikki is just his bestfriend..VANESSA is his girlfriend! ZANESSA RULES!
Nikki is a nice girl but I just don’t see the chemistry with her and zac like i do with Zanessa. It’s great that they’re good friends but when he’s back in california you see him more with vanessa than nikki. they’re just promoting Hairspray that’s why.Good luck to V i the Jay Leno show this thursday.
Ok, I so think it’s time for Vanessa to dump Zac. Even Chris Brown seems to care more about Vanessa than her own stupid boyfriend. He’s too busy doing whatever the hell he’s doing, to take a single second of his time to defend her. And then he goes off and flirts with Nikki like there’s no tomorrow. She could do so much better.
I wonder if it ever occured to him that maybe now’s not the best time to be off with another girl, especially with everything Vanessa has on her plate. Even if the whole nude scandel wasn’t going on…I mean, I can’t say I’d be too happy about seeing my boyfriend hold hands with another girl, especially if he didn’t have to. Vanessa say’s she’s not the jealous type…but really, who wouldn’t get a little bugged by that?
I guess the saying is true, you don’t really know who your friends are until your back is to the wall. And Vanessa’s practically climbing up the wall. And the only people who have publically spoken out for her are Miley Cyrus and Miley Cyrus’s dad. I didn’t even know they were that close…you think her “bestest friend” Ashley Tisdale would have said something too.
I think I’m actually starting to feel sorry for Vanessa.

^^ pics of nikki and zac at the madrid premier..they r holding hands and hugging….
Oh please Zac! He’s only saying that to be nice….we all know it’s for publicity my friend. Stop trying to sound fake we all know you love Vanessa so just say it!!!
come on, if Zac was in love with V. When those pics got leaked and everyone was in a frenzy over it, If he supported her, he would have allowed pics of him beside V, or holding hands with V, while they were in Australia together- but, he did not and he has never said they were dating- just V in Teen mag. The guy does not love her- never has. Actions speak louder than words! and I hope V moves on!
I wish Vanessa would just leave him. He does not look or act like a good BF
Zac you b*astard!!! ************! I’m not a fan of him! V deserves better!
vanessa if your reading this listen to me DUMP ZAC FOR CHRIS BROWN
because it sounds like chris loves you more than zac does he is man enough to say that zac dont want to talk about you…….so yeah chris brown has a hotter body than zac because ive seen him shirtless at his concert and wow it sounds like zac isnt a good boyfreind if he aint defending you and doesnt stop flirting with girls thats just wrong for zac to do that he dont deserve a person that really likes him he deserves a girl who flirts with guys and i know if you have a date with chris maybe when you turn 21 you and chris would get married so stop suffering dump zac for chris
by the way this is my opinion so if you read this zanessa fans this is only my opinion and if you bash i willcome back and say more down with zanessa stuff…….and up for chrinessa
Agreed with the statement above. Vanessa deserves better. I hope she dumps his ass. Definately not being supportive to V and her situation. Horrible boyfriend in my book.
ZAC EFRON HAS DUMPED V AFTER THIS SCANDAL- TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO HANDLE. WAIT FOR THE NEWS! IT WILL SHOW UP WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO.
I like how vanessa is having a rough time battling those scandalous photos while her “boyfriend” is overseas holding hands with some cow. that Zefron is a keeper…
Those pics in Madrid are for promoting their movie. But it is time for him to defend V, when he has a chance. But there are other’s in the wing…Chris Brown, Ryan Sheckler….Zac better watch out.
ZAC IS AN ASS. IF I WERE VANESSA’S BOYFRIEND, ID FLY ALL THE WAY FROM WHERE I AM JUST TO BE WITH HER AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME. SCREW MY MOVIE PREMIERES… THERE WILL BE MORE OF THAT IN THE FUTURE.
WE don’t know how’s their relationship in private! He might support her from far away!
That said, I would FREAK if my bf was holding hans with another girl, specially if I’m sad… no matter who that girl is!
Come on, people! This is getting rather ridiculous! Not everything is about “Zanessa”. Zac and Vanessa have individual careers and lives too. Are you going to flip out every time you see Zac with another “leading lady”? Because I assure you, he’ll be at other premiere’s with other actresses. Some fans are way too SENSITIVE!!!
We can’t read into every picture. What Zac does and what he feels are his own business. Let him be!
Nikki is very talented actress, seems like a great friend, and I think that’s wonderful. And, for the record, I think Vanessa, despite her youthful mistake, is still a good person and talened actress as well.
Stop being overprotective!
Haha! Efron TOTALLY distancing himself from Nudie Vanessa scandal!!! Lol! Take a hint Vanessa…he’s just not that into you (if you are a potential liability to his career)…
Guys. relax, maybe Zac is doing this whole Bad Boyfriend thing to make people stop hating on Vanessa. These people used to do High School television shows (before their big movie) and I’ve seen that scheme before a dozen times.
Heres what could really be going on.
(1)Vanessa screwed up and Zac wants people to not be mad at her. (2) Zac pretends to cheat on Vanessa with Nikki. (3) Fans feel sorry for Vanessa because her BF is Cheating on her. (4) they hate Zac but forgot that Vanessa screwed up. (5) they get back togehter everybody is happy again.
It might be Far Fetched. but it’s a possibility.
Is that Zac’s boyfriend? Cute!
i think zac is better wif nikki rather than vanessa who really think that shes sexy enough……(what i meant is nude pic of vanessa)hey zac why dont u listen 2 my advice…JUST DUMP HER!!!!!!!!(vanessa)
i think it would be good if zac is wif nikki rather than vanessa who thinks that shes sexy enough…(i meant the nude pic of vanessa). hey zac i have some advise 4 u..JUST DUMP THAT SYINKY WOMAN!!!!(vanessa)
Oh god, he’s just digging his own hole isn’t he. If you go out and find an attractive gay man 10 out of 10 times I can assure you he is best friends with a fat and sassy fat girl. Fat girls just gravitate towards gay men and gay men to them. It’s a fact like cancer. Gay men like strong, loud and fat women and these woman like gays because that’s the closest they’ll ever get to dating a guy who dresses well and has a hot body.
I’ll admit see seems Gayish a lot of the times. but to me every actor who didn’t get their start in action films or Pro Wrestling seems somewhat feminine.
if he was so gay as some say he is why would V be so crazy over him….i know my gay friends can’t please a woman in that respect…i like to hang out with my gay buddies but i wwould never think of getting cozy with them….
zak is very metrosexual and stylish and sexy but they way i see him handle interviews and stuff, i still see him as simply a beautiful young guy who looks normal to me….
i like nikki too and i’m really impressed with zac’s loyalty to vanessa. there’s this awesome pic in Life and Style mag with vanessa crying and zac being there for her. good for him!
wth? wouldnt you think that v was his best friend? kinda shady zac.
hi ok zac why you don’t love ashley t. she is very cute and sweet every body love her
i see the suite life of zac and cody i see you kising ashley and am so happy about this 
thank you
bye
ZAC is a moron if he chooses nikki over VANESSA.
hahaha!
I want ZANESSA new pics……………….
chris brown shut up!!!!!!!but youre right……!!!!!!!!!!! even the nessa fans…..
zac is the hottest guy i kno…vanessa is cute..but she is crazy.lol. all the kids are prolly like wtf she is my role model..I wanna take nude pics too since thats the “cool” thing to do. lol zac is a good bf..but it’s not his problem she decides to send her pics to half the guys she’s with..their bound to get her back… i think vanessa did a bad thing and now she’s paying for it big time. but wow i was sooo shocked with the whoel nikki kiss i was like woahhhhhhhhhhh!!! WTF?! where did that come from lol. anyways..why shouldnt zac flirt..lol he’s hot…i would do the same thing.!
Zac really needs to retire the best friends line when talking about his co-stars, he has also said that about Vanessa and Ashley.
[He should dump Vanessa and date Nikki. Zanessa’s relationship appears only physical. Nikki and Zac seem to have a deeper connection.]
Ya shoving his tongue down Nikki’s thoart, touching her ass while taking pictures and flirting with her in interviews screams a deep connection. Nothing physcial about that unlike Zac and Vanessa’s relationship. By the way it’s amazing you that you can tell what his relationships with Vanessa and Nikki appears to be like even though you don’t know them or how they interact with each other in private.
i wouldnt be jealous if he kissed nikki, shes nowhere near in the same league as vanessa, as if she’d be pissed off, only about people making up stupid rumours like he’s gonna leave her, its just annoying, its annoying me! vanessas hot, zacs hot, nikkis not. great they’re friends, but that’s all, just thinking of sex between them… ugh
i don’t like her. she is just STEAlING zac away from vanessa.!
hate nikki. she so fat.
I HATE NIKKI!
I LOVE VANESSA!
I LOVE ZAC!
I LOVE ZANESSA!
I think she should stop trying to separate Zac and Vanessa!!
What does Chris Brown have to see with it?
mmm..Not who to believe a time ago behind said that ashley tisdale was his best friend and now that he does another movie he changes best friend already almost they are not even seen ,Its strange
I HATE NIKKI I LOVE VANESSA!! NIKKI IS A FAT UGLY PIG WHO NEEDS TO STOP BEING ALL OVER ZAC!! PLUS HIS A CHEATER!!! I FEEL SO SAD NOW
I WANNA CRY!
chris brown is in LOVE with her!
the way he talks about her and his reactions to the questions about her just make me soft inside!
who knows if he sang the song WITH YOU for baby v!
she seriously deserves better than zac!
now he is too much, flirting with nikki, come on already!!
so many guys in hollywood would kill zac if they could just to even be on a date with nessa!
chris brown!
ryan sheckler!
ryan seacrest!
even more than that!
her and chris brown would be so cute, in his song GIMME THAT he sings bout a girl who is 3 years older than him and nessa is 1 year older than him!
he wants her so bad!
nikki and zac r a cute couple comon zac gggggo out with her
zack please send me an email to petal_fay@hotmail.co.uk lv u lots.
