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.”

awesome can’t wait for this movie to come out, he looks so cute, that right people, keep your noses off of thier personal life. You said it zac!!!!

As to why we like Zac so much well, Malia, Nett, Beverly, Narf, you said it all.

Troy, You have already a pretty impressive record so keep it coming and better luck next time.

The rest of you, thanks for your links. Still can’t get to see the video ,must the the reception in my part of the world.

Beverly, read yr thread and am not surprised why yr girl likes Miley, she’s funny, entertaining and talented. I would too, if I was her age.

I like that he keep his private relationships(such as with vanessa) private. They(and especially him) don’t exactly hide it but also don’t go divulging information when it’s not needed. Also liked what he said about Hsm3, cosidering what high school musical meant for all of them, it is pretty annoying when people love to claim how much he hates it. Obviously he’s not going to want to be that charecter forever but it was turing or atleast important point in his life both personally(vanessa) and professionally(him getting more roles/more noticed). 17 really sound like an interesting movie, can’t wait to see how he pulls it off.

yea, for a zac post………finally!

love him. he looks like he wanted to say something a little more snarly, but like a true gentleman said “keep their noses out!”

love him. can’t wait for 17 and for me and Orson Welles!!!!!!!

this is for *. how do you know that zac and vanessa broke up? Access hollywood is still reporting them as being together. I would like to know the web site for this.

he needs a new hairdo.

i like zac i think his a good guy, but i think he should prove himself a good actor before saying that hsm was easy for him because i think his acting in it is fairly average.

Just watched Zac’s interview afer reading it earlier…..a wise head on such young shoulders and feet firmly planted on the ground.

Don’t EVER change Zaccy boy - you’re a STAR !!!!!!

#64 Thanks for the kind words of support Boji. Rest assured I have no intention of giving up. As I said I’ve been first in a couple of Vanessa threads and a Javier Bardeem thread. I WILL be first in a Zac thread. *Inspirational music starts again*

#67 My advice is just to ignore that poster. He/she is just trying to get us all stirred up. If there was anykind of link to this “scoop” it would have been posted.

i just love him:D!

i love him!
finally i havent heard anything about him for a while!
he is such a good guy! and HOT!

Hi Angels,

WoooHoootieHooo…. a new Zac thread. And I didn’t think he could become any more amazing, he just blows me away. GO ZAC!

umm im trying not to sound stupid here but when he said ” I was playing a high school kid in his first love. Everyone has been there – I had just been there.” he said had i was just wondering if zac might have been trying to imply that him and vanessa broke up. im not syaing they did i was just wondering can somebody help me out here

If you turn on Lifetime Movie Network right now, a movie called Miracle Run is on. Zac plays a Autistic boy. You’ll see why he is considered by MANY as an accomplished actor. Or rent it.

Hi kim, hi boji!

How are you ladies tonight?

Narf,

Well, have horrible migrane from no soda today. But so far so good. I hope my family put up with through this. hehe

Greg #75 I think what Zac was referring to was having recently been in high school he can easily portray this type of character.

Sorry about the migraine Kim, but just remember the long term benefits. It wil be worth it in the end.

Excedrin Migraine works wonders on Migraines.

gotta luv zac he always says the right things ***

Greg#75 It’s all abt grammar. He was referring to the movie in the past tense, so it was grammatically right to say that he had just been there, remember he met Vanessa at the auditions and it went on from there. So when he was doing the movie he was in the throws of his first true love, ie Vanessa.

HEY ZAC..U’RE SO CUTEE! I LUV YA! U’RE THE BEST GUY IN THIS WORLD..! I LUV UR MOVIES..AND I JUST WANT TO SEE UR NEW MOVIE 17 AND OF COURSE HSM3..I WISH U THE BEST..I C YA! KISSESS!

Zac is great!!!
Zanessa forever!

Narf,

The acetominephine (sp) is cutting it. Definitely picking up the Excedrine. Your right, it’ll be worth it.

Any plans for the weekend?

Hi back at you Narf and Kim.

Withdrawal symptoms,huh kim, well I used to get horrific migraines so much so had to visit the doc for a painkiller jab. But, touch wood, lately it does seem to have subsided, for what reason, heaven knows, could be hormone related or tension, still no clue.

Hmmm . . . . Greg, I think you understood the statement perfectly well. Wow, talk about turning something positive into a negative. Zac had just been in his first love right before he started HSM. He met Vanessa at the first HSM audition. That was over two and a half years ago. They are still in the relationship. Why would you think they broke up before they started the first HSM movie?

zac efron rocks! @ 02/08/2008 at 9:26 pm

OMG! zac is amazing….and i love he won’t back down on something he started and that he cares about the fans! can’t wait to see this movie!!!

I am watching my niece tomorrow night, and vegetating on Sunday. Might take in a movie.

What are you doing this weekend Kim?

Christine x3 @ 02/08/2008 at 9:30 pm

i adore him :]

i agree BAD ACTOR!

i think the fact that he used the word “sacred” is very powerful and speaks volumes about the kind of person he is and how he values his relationship with vanessa.

For those who think they broke up, you dont call your relationship “sacred” and then make “the zac smirk” when telling people to butt out.

He is an amazing guy and people who cant see that, really need to take off their blinders.
