Zac Efron Suits Up in Basketball Unform

Zac Efron sat down with Access Hollywood to chat about his upcoming film Seventeen, about an adult (Matthew Perry) who suddenly becomes a 17-year-old high school student (Zac). Here are some interview snippets:

On how close he was to not doing High School Musical 3: Oh gosh. No, seriously I am not going to be the guy who takes High School Musical away from all the fans. We owe everyone too much. High School Musical is a project I hold very close to my heart and I am going to complete the franchise.

On why he chose to star in Seventeen: It would have been really easy to go and play a kid. I could’ve done that in any movie. But playing a 37-year-old guy who is a kid is a little bit more interesting. It’s great when you have personal experience playing a character. For instance, High School Musical. It was pretty easy. I was playing a high school kid in his first love. Everyone has been there – I had just been there.”

On why he doesn’t talk about his personal life: “I think specifically relationships, it’s sacred ground. That’s something that needs to be between two people. Everyone else can get their noses out.”

Good for you Zac! You are such a class act and a genuinely great guy!

Playing a basketball player again in a stupid teen movie? One-note, much? BUT HEZZZZ SO HAWTTTT, SO HE GETZZZZ AWAY WITH IT. *roll*

All credit to him….won’t turn his back on the franchise that made him famous….and thinks relationships are sacred ground.Good for you Zac !!!!!

oooohhhhh ma baby zac!!!

Aweee . . . this guy is a class act. You gotta love him. Too bad there aren’t more guys like this out there in the world who consider relationships sacred.

I have to say ,I admire him even more afer this.

Zac has something that is sadly missing in many others - INTEGRITY.

Zac and Vanessa are lucky to have each other !!!!

You have my respect Zac ! You are amazingly mature and true to yourself for a young age of 20 ! Your parents raised you well and Vanessa is so lucky to have you ! Live in Love ZANESSA !!!!!
