Zac 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.

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….

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jess @ 09/11/2007 at 4:38 pm

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!

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.

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 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.

bettybaby @ 09/11/2007 at 5:22 pm

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!!!!!!

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.

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?

# 53

Daniel @ 09/11/2007 at 5:46 pm

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.

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!

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.
