OlderZac Efron is a Shy Guy
Sat, 17 November 2007 at 3:12 am
Zac Efron and his two new basketball buddies leave basketball practice together in Hollywood on Friday.
The High School Musical star apparently sings a different tune when he’s not being showered with flowers from paparazzi.
Zac, 20, shied away from photographers this time around, hiding his face behind a basketball. Why so shy, guy?
15+ pictures inside of shy guy Zac Efron…

Leave the poor man alone.
Nawww
Zaccy Is a shy boii!
WHO KNEW??
lol
Zanessa For Evss!!
coz the flower incident, ( stupid x17) . he dont want paps to take his pic anymore
I don’t blame him one bit for covering his face. After yesterday’s flower incident he’s probably had quite enough of the photogs.
lol ck
love it
i swear those two lady paprazi are the one taking this again!
Poor zac.. its just yesterday that they taken his pics in the gym?!
I’m with you narf, ck! they should give the guy a break in doing
some of his regular activities, like this!
vanessa and zac match together because they are both shy
Yea, LEAVE zac efron alonE!!
OMG
ILOVE YOU ZAC
YOUR SOOOO HOT
omg so on the first page! love zac cant wait for the amas and christmas thingy and dvd oh so much to look foward 2!!!
ZANESSA 4EVER
wow…not a lot of comments…does that guy on the phone look like nick cannon a little? just wondering, coz i don’t have my glasses on, but he kinda looks like him…and haha! zac probably doesn’t want to deal with paps everyday…i wonder how it’ll be after seventeen…that is, if seventeen is a success =P
aww so cute.
Awww zac is shy!
i find that cute hahaa
hoping 4 a ZANESSA sighting soon
LOVE HIM!
not shy..but not nice being photographed all the time.
its awsome zac is a very very very good looking guy
I bet he’s thinking how many pictures can these people take of me doing the same thing as I did yesterday—and WHY would they want to?
Zac probably didn’t expect papparazzi. Papparazzi are just dumb for doing things like that and some people just need some space. I love you zac. :]
He is so hot! :]
I was thinking, maybe if these friends aren’t in the business then maybe he’s a little embarrassed that the cameras are out taking his picture. He has talked about friends at school calling him Hollywood because he was in movies. He wasn’t always comfortable with the term it seemed.
Ok, he’s soooo cute!
aww. :]
he’s the cutest human been in the world luuuuv immmmmm
ashleyfans.skyrock.com
A shy guy ?? LOL =D
did he cut his hair? I prefer it that way, less gayish
I love him …
he’s so cute
so perfect (L)
OMG
SHY BOY…
SO CUTE
i’m just wondering why zac needs to hide his face on the ball???
awww just let the man play basketball
http://tinseltowncircus.blogspot.com
ffs can’t he go one day without being harrassed by the god damn paps…
yes he’s good looking and very very very rarely takes a bad photograph but that isn’t the point
i wish his ‘people’ would stop leaking his plans to the press
it’s clearly p*ssing him off…and it’s annoying his fans too
and i’m speaking for/about the ones who like him as a person and actor/singer not as a celebrity and half of the most (in)famous young couple in Hollywood right now
cute
zanessa
Im kind of waitin 4 more pics of Zanessa!
And Zac looks really cute
But I wonder, where Did hi sunglasses go?
i’m clearly the only one posting who’s bothered that he’s annoyed.
just as long as you get your pic fix right…and plenty of zanessa…because seeing them together, whatever their mood whether they want to be photographed or not, is all that matters
HATE HIM
too cute for words.=)
i dont think he was being shy…i think zac is just annoyed because they follow him everyday at the same places, first the gym now the court..
OK I love to see the pics, but poor Zac is hounded by Paps he can’t get any peace!!
By the way he’s in practice with professionals but which movie is it for…. Didn’t think HSM3 was practicing yet, or is it Seventeen. I know that for Seventeen he needs to practice skateboarding.
Pics are fantastic…
#46 I completely agree
#44 dadaly - if you don’t like Zac then why post? I really don’t understand people who do that…send flaming ‘reviews’ to stories…make scathing comments on youtube…
if you have nothing constructive to say about this then please go comment on something you like
OMFG,,,
He is so hot! :]
LOVE HIM
OMG!!! I agree with some of u, please leave the poor guy alone!!!
But I love him so much!!!!!lol!!
I’m waiting for a zanessa sighting soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
peace out!!!!!
–I’m proud baby V supporter–
–I’m a proud zanessa supporter–
ZANESSA= definition of love!!!!!!
not even sure if zac is going to the amas. hope so!
i do feel bad that he looks annoyed today.
It’s about time they gave Zac a break, it’s not like it’s the first time he has gone to the gym and at the same. To be honest if I was him I’d not want them in my face the whole time, all Zac is trying to do is to relax alittle probable before he starts shoooting 17 and everytime he does they follow him, and I know it come’s with the job but the press need toknow when to back off otherwise the smile’s that Zac usually give’s the press will become a thing of the past and they will only have themselves to blame. I’m glad for one that they never letthem into film Zac playing basketball and don’t blame Zac for saying ‘hell no ‘ when they asked him, if it’s those same to women they serioulsy need to back away and give Zac some space.
Also thecomment that Zac ’sings a different tune when not being showered with flower’s from the press’ Zac did’nt ask for the flower’s and if he had refused them then bad stuff would have got printed they knew by saying that they were from his fan’s that Zac would take them, but serioulsy what did they think he wasgoing to do becuase they gave him them start behaving like a trained monkey and therefore everytime they snap him or film him he has to have a big beaming smile for them just becuase they gave him flower’s.
I’m lookingforward to teh upcoming event’s that he has coming and especially being with his HSM cast mate’s, and of course with Vanessa, I bet they both give a sigh of releive when they are in the safety of his apartment and can just cuddle and watch amovie without the bloody press being there.
Obvioulsy when 17 hit’s the screen and Zac has to go and do promotional work for it then he probably will be all smile’s becuase that’s his job but even then I suppose it can all get to much.
But the basketball thing is a private thing that he does away from the press and so I think he’s entitled to look a bit peeved at time’s and does’nt always feel like smiling, also he’s chilling with friend’s so again the press male and female need to know when to back off.
cool interview with ashley tisdale at vaneshbretique!
per ashley:
hsm3 starts rehearsals in february
and shooting in march
and all the cast members have agreed to their deals in principle…no one has done the final signature yet though
When is he gonna come out?
Poor Zacer! As much as I love seeing pics of him, they really need to give him a break! I really think those carazie pap women freaked him out. I mean they picked flowers from a church and gave them to him, who does that?
Zac & his basket ball yet again! Am beginning to feel sorry for him.This is getting to be a bit too much.The paps shld really lay off.Can’t blame him for hiding his face. Should wear a ski mask the time.It’s really getting to be a drag. I’d rather see him & Vanessa on an official outing together than like this. Same goes for Vanessa.It is beginning to get to me too. But, I’ve said it’s a no win situation, we want the paps to leave them alone but we do’nt seem to get enough of them. But, not like this.I’m just feeling for him.It’s like living in a fishbowl.
Please give him a break. We are most likely going to see him at the AMA’s and the HSM benefit this week. Let him have some peace.
I like to see him pictures of this boy he isn’t doing anything different than he’s been doing for the pasdt two weeks when he goes to the gym or to practice basketball. Now, if they would carry him out on a stretcher because he broke his ankle or somthing—and heaven forbit that happening—then that would be somethng different and newsworthy but to pick on the poor guy doing the same thing would have to be annoying. He said in his Rolling Stone interview how the thought if he stayed boring then he would be alright. Well, I bet he’s beginning to feel he is going to have to rethink that plan!
Leave the poor man alone. Nobody want to be followed all the time.
can anyone say where this pic is from? and if it is even zac and vanessa?

HATE HIM
_________________________
Why waste you time posting if you hate him. You must not if you took the time to post. I think the saying is if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all…….
Now go somewhere else, I’m sure x17 would like to hear from you…
Spread the love not the hate…..Peace
My last post should have said “I like to see pictures of this boy but he…”
#43 No you are most definitely not the only one posting here that’s bothered that Zac is annoyed. I said on a different thread that there comes a point where many celebrities have gotten tired of the preassure caused in part by the constant presence of the paps and finally say “That’s Enough. Back the hell off!” It looks like Zac may be coming close to reaching that point. I don’t think we’re going to be seeing Zac regularly punching photographers like Sean Penn used to do, but I think he’s reaching the point where he no longer is going to be civil about this nonsense.
How many photos of Zac playing basketball, going to the gym, filling up his tank with gas do we need? I know the argument is that the paps are just doing their “jobs” such as it is but it seems to me that there comes a point where there’s a line between doing their jobs and harassment and I think if they haven’t already, the paps are coming very close to crossing that line where both Zac and Vanessa are concerned.
He cut his hair, I think? Hot. Hot. Hot.
Troy-could not have said it better….
You ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zac is cute when he’s she. Hehe!
I think too much of the paps is the reason why Zanessa doesn’t always go out together that much.
I wish I could see them everyday but if it will cause them trouble I’d rather have them not photographed.
It’s just hard not to like the two. They are adorable couples.
Enough already.Pls no more basketball,gym practice,filling gas(petrol),I totally agree with Rosielee9, Karen & Troy.Enough is enough.Hounding Vanessa is just as bad going in & out of her hse, in & out of the studio.
y soooooooooyyyy rebelde, quando no sigo a los demaas, y soy rebelde, quando o zac é uma bicha *-* ‘maxçklamxlkmaxlkxam; HÁÁÁÁ
Thanks for the kind words JB!
YOU ROCK TOO!!
60, IT’S FAKE! I wish it was real.
I have to agree with troy, boji and the others. There definitely comes a point when the paparazzi cross the line between the acceptable number of pictures which a celebrity can expect to be taken of them and harrassment. With the increase in pictures and videos of Z and V, it seems to me that some of the paparazzi are either crossing that line or are dangerously close to it.
I just hope that eventually they get tired of these pics of normal life and move on to another celebrity who puts themselves into situations where they want to be photographed.
Here we are and we’re not gonna lie
We don’t care if Zac’s kinda shy
Enough is enough
Time to get tough
These paps need to move on to another guy!
I feel bad for him - for all the reasons you guys mentioned before.
He needs a break!!!
And what`s that with pic 08????!!!
Zac is not even in it- just his friends. That is not okay - like really really not ok!!!! You could say Zac should be used to this and it`s kind of the “price”for his fame to be followed by paps (that`s not my opinion by the way!!!!) BUT pics of his friends?! That`s not necessary at all! They are private people…
I hope that they do not feel too much bothered aboout this…
Aww Zac is CAMERA shy!
ANG GWAPO NI ZAC!!!!
he’s Hawwttt!!!
He’s sooo hot ! :O
He’s not shy, he just needs some privacy!
did he do a haircut? cause his hair kinda looks shorter. Anyway, he looks hot!
Awww!
He’s soo cute!
Love him ♥
paparazzi,it’s time to give Zac a break!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zac rulez xD
Good on him. As much as I love seeing his photos, i hate seeing him stalked and uncomfortable. Maybe if he hides his face more, they’ll be less inclined to follow him around.
Love you zac!
Lovin’ the new hair!
OMFG! I saw the video of the flower-day (I dunno what else to call it) and woah, the girl papz was crazy, first she asks him to dance and he said no “I don’t dance for the paparazzi” and then she asked him if they could watch him play, and his reply “hell no” I love that.
When they gave him the flowers and Zac said/asked. “All the way across the country got me the same flowers”, even Zac noticed what we fans did, and I hadn’t even seen the video at the time. And then when Zac held the flowers he said “this is going to be some where pictures” or something like that and of course when the papz said. “It’s like the man and the feminine side at the same time” and I think that it was Zac that said “that’s weird” and it was.
What I can’t believe was when one papz asked him what he thought about the papz and Zac being the great guy that he is replied with a “It’s weird” I would have said something like “I hate it and wish that they would leave me alone”
I love Zac and I can’t blame him for hiding behind the ball, even if it isn’t the most sheltered place to hide.
And I couldn’t agree more with what you said troy, I wonder how long it will be before either of them snapp, and I hope that for Zac’s sake non of the papz might accidentally get run over by his car, because if this is the way they act now, I mean, it’s only a matter of time before they get so desperate that they jump in front of his car or something. It’s insane.
You know, I really hope that Zac or Vanessa won’t lose any of their friends because of the papz, because it can’t be easy to be friend with someone who is always followed around like this, I feel for them and even if I can’t understand what their going through, and I’m not going to pretend like I do but life is hard, especially in their carer choice without having te be followed everywhere you go.
I say, more power to them for handling it so well but enough is enough.
ZAC SOS TODO UN ATLETA ^^
SOS PRECIOSO ^^
Grax x las pics !!!!
I reckon it’s because of what Ashley said in her OK interview - that some of her friends like getting photographed by the paparazzi.
Zanessa Forever!!!!!!!!
#82 erica
Well said.
Zac is a cuttie! I saw his personals ad on wealthy men personals site called Wealthy Romance .com last week. It is said he has major crush on wealthy young women!
yeah it is time to give Zac a break. We would miss them but we cas survive without having “candids” of him for a while. Just the look on his face in the X17 video and hearing him say “hell no” when they asked if they could come and watch him play-just shows that he is human. I honestly feel for the guy (and V too)!
#82 erica
I just saw the vid as well. It really made me feel uncomfortable.
I think Zac handled himself exceptionally well given the circumstances. It was like they were trying to make a fool out of him of something. I don’t know. It was really weird.
After that kind of experience, no wonder he wants to hide from the paps!
Before i want see them everyday but with that looks i think they are tired of being followed by paparatsi!
Be strong Zanessa were here to support you!!
ahh i love him!
he looks so hot!!
the paps need to give him some space
The paparazzi needs to give Zac a break. How many pics do they need of him playing basketball, I mean really! He looks like he has had it with the paps. Hopefully he can get through tomorrow with out too much questioning from them. I’m sure he’ll be photographed plenty at the AMA’s.
#87 notorhot11, those are fake, Zac or Vanessa are both private people and I doubt that either of them would post an ad at a webpage like that.
The HSM marathon begins now, yes their singing “This could be the start of something new…” right now. I love those Zac and Vanessa, Troy and Gabriella, they always look great together.
ok bball pics getting a little boring but hes working on his new role so i hope he does good
awwww i feel sorry for him, anyway hes still HOT!
Is there a vid for this set of pics?
cutie
LEAVE ZAC ALONE!
zac is covering his face just he has a zit on his forehead you can see it in picture 3
He is cute… i like him..
yeah zac is covering his face cuz he has a zit on his forehead you can see it in picture 3 put the pic full screen and youll see it.
I heard Zac is gay, is this true?
ok he is not hiding because hes not with “famous” friends he aint like that at all. if he was wow… mean much? and its cuz of the zit you can see in picture 3. that why is he smiling with the pix in the hat cuz he thinks the hat is covering the zit but its not. put picture 3 on full screen.
he’s covering his face cuz he has a zit its on his forehead you can see it on his forehead.
omg hes soooooooo cuti ilove hem 4 ever im gonna cry

******************************************************
Troy that was very well said, I agree with you. I tried to look at the pics but I couldn’t stomach it after the third. I am so bothered that he has to resort to doing that because of the paps! Ugh!!!
cute!
If these are the same classless female paps from the previous day, we know why Zac is ignoring them. If you saw the video, you can hear what they were saying to him. “Come on, Zac, dance for us.” I mean, do these women have one brain cell left in their empty heads? And stealing roses from church property? Totally classless. Zac is taking the high road by ignoring them.
And then X17 wrote the article to make it appear that Zac goes around carrying flowers all the time. They did not mention that the paps GAVE him the flowers. It’s call being set up. He’s going to have to resort to hiring a body guard to go to the gym. My heart goes out to him.
you are a hot guy i want to mary you.
awwwww he is such a little cutie!
i love him!
i bet he lyk has an embarrasin spot on his face lol his stil quite fit tho
Come on gang,it goes with the territory. Wouldn’t be taking them if we didn’t love looking at him. He is just adorable though isn’t he!
I bet he cries all the way to the bank. Glad to see him alone.
Troy Honey (#63), great comment as always.
I thought you promised me you wouldn’t stay up too late?
look at this…he has pimples…oha…^^
yeah but i knew that before…
that´s when they are without make up right?^^
LOVE ZANESSA
THR IS NO PIMPLE!
heeeee rooooocks!! heeeeeeeeeeee’s hooooooooot! he’s the cutest guy in the world!!
Troy, #63, well said. I do feel bad for him because he’s constantly hounded. I bet he has days of just pure exasperation!
Unfortunately, he’s the IT guy right now and has to deal with this. But Troy’s right, we’ll probably see more of him not smiling. I don’t blame him for feeling frustrated.
heeeee rooooocks!! heeeeeeeeeeee’s hooooooooot! he’s the cutest guy in the world!! he’s not shy but he just doesn’t like to be always followed!
you’re so right, doris, it does go with the territory. zac plays the game really well and i love the compliment X17 gave him yesterday. as zac himself has said, “it’s a small price to pay for the benefits we receive”…
I personally don’t think it’s a zit that Zac is trying to hide as surley if that was the case he would have wore the hat when he came out as well as going in.
Those two press women serioulsy need to take some classes on how to appraoch celebraty’s, you don’t ask them to dance orask if you can watch them do something that is private, if Zac wanted them to film him he would have played on a open public court where anyone could have got a photo of him.
He looks quite stern when he come’s out and see’s them still there if it was me personally I’d be thinking ‘ for god’s sake just go away and bug someone else’
There’s a time and a place for the press to get their photo’s and it should’nt be when people are just going about their daily routine you can serioulsy see why Zac and Vanessa keep a lot of their date’s quiet and why Vanessa spends so much time at Zac’s at least their they can be a private couple.
I know it come’s with their job and to some degree they accept it but that does’nt mean that they have to like or even accept certain behaviour from the press just so that they get ‘the’photo
that has been taken so many time’s already. They’ll be plenty of time for the press to get photo’s with all the HSM coming up and when Zac does promotion work for 17 until then they should give him a break and back off.
LOVE HIM
BRAZIL
poor zac, he just wants to be left alone… and have a privat life like everyone els..!
Rebecca #40, 43
ICA with you, and all of the others who have been saying that the paps should back off of Zac. I like to see pics of Zac, like any fan, but these constant pics and vids of him at the gym and the basketball court are too much. And at the gas station. Watching the videos, I just feel so bad for him. I sure wouldn’t want to go throuugh this everyday!
I also worry about the effect the attention will have on him. I’d hate for him to have to start insulating himself more and not being about to go out like a regular person.
Team Efron FTW! *hugs*
If I were him, I would hide from the papparazis too.
He isn’t shy,well, I don’t think so, he seems to be uncomfortable… and I understand him… It’s his life and It’s private! It doesn’t matter if he is the new Holliwood sexy guy, he needs to enjoy his life in peace!!!
I support U Zac!!
oh!he’s so cute shy!
awwhhh poor guy =] nice to see that ring is still there! =]
#124 *hugs*
love your name BTW I can’t think what inspired it
I bet he wishes the next ‘heartthrob’ would get discovered already so he could have something like a normal life but with the seven foot mouse owning his soul until the dvd for hsm3 is release and the 2008/9 awards season is over there is little chance of that.
Disney wants to squeeze every last cent out of the hsm franchise and Zac, being the biggest star, is obviously going to play a big part of that. They’ll want lots of ‘perfect’ zanessa pictures reminding everybody of troyella.
As much as I love the animated films I watched when I was younger and want to see Enchanted (McDreamy, Corny Collins, Angela Montenegro (Bones) and Kathryn/cousin Beth (Cruel Intentions 2/BtVS)) Disney these days just makes me think of money hungry businessmen who churn out inferior sequels.
Haa what a cutie, but I don’t think the basketballl is much cover. He probably feels bad that his friends have to get cameras shoved in their faces just because they’re around him.
God, he’s so cute!
Poor Zac, can’t even play basketball without the paparazzi being in his face.
I’m so proud of him, though. He’s handling it well.
I don’t think he has a zit on his forehead. It does kind of look like it in pic #3, but in pic #14 it’s gone, so I think it’s just how the pixels are coming up. Besides, he could have easily hidden that with his hair, not a ball.
I think he’s thinking the same thing we all are, how many times can you take my picture leaving the gym, getting gas, playing basketball, etc?
I mean do these photogs have kids at home saying:
Kid: “Mom/Dad what did you do today?”
Pap: “Honey, I took Zac Efron’s picture at the gas station for the 40+ time, and then we followed him to the gym…”
Kid: “Wow, when I grow up I want to be just like you and follow people to the gas station…”. LOL
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
that was hilarious Dee.
Thanks ktt! Occasionally I have my moments.
First of all, the paparazzi need to leave him alone! After all that he does, he deserves a little privacy! He has such self control, because if i were him, i would beat up the pararazzi until they were out cold! And i think:
he eaither had a zit or something that he didnt want the paparazzi to see,
he was having some problems (with his Gf?) and he showed it in his face maybe with red eyes or something,
or he is just sick of always being photographed. Sometimes i think he just wishes he could be a normal guy, and just go out and be a normal person. And if you know he doesnt want ot be photographed, just leave the poor guy alone! You dont need to know what he’s doing every minue of his life! And why make such a big deal out of it? ‘Zac Efron is a shy guy’??? So what? I hope he feels better.
*pretend to give Zac a hug* luv u forever xoxox
ffs can’t he go one day without being harrassed by the god damn paps…
yes he’s good looking and very very very rarely takes a bad photograph but that isn’t the point
i wish his ‘people’ would stop leaking his plans to the press
it’s clearly p*ssing him off…and it’s annoying his fans too
and i’m speaking for/about the ones who like him as a person and actor/singer not as a celebrity and half of the most (in)famous young couple in Hollywood right now
——————————
I totally agree with you. I like him as a person/actor/singer. Not at the ‘American Heart throb’ His ‘people’ really should stop telling the paps where he is going, jus to get a few bucks!
I know he is p*ssed, and he doesnt deserve the kind of treatment that he is getting! grrrr
