Zac Efron Gifts Mattel Children’s Hospital

Zac Efron Gifts Mattel Children’s Hospital

Zac Efron (in Nudies jeans) brings holiday cheer to the kids at the Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA on Friday (December 19) in Los Angeles.

The 21-year-old actor joined Gifts.com in giving presents out to all the patients at the hospital. Zac took the time to shake everyone’s hands, sign autographs and pose for pictures.

Zac’s former Summerland co-star Lori Loughlin recently had this to say about his relationship with Vanessa Hudgens: “The fact that he and Vanessa have been together for so long speaks to who he is also as a person. He tends to be that one woman guy and just focus on that; again not a player, not somebody’s who’s taking advantage of this new found fame or I’m sure the many girls that are throwing themselves at him. He seems to very level headed about the whole thing.”

10+ pictures inside of Zac Efron gifting Mattel Children’s Hospital…

awww .. he’s soo cute ..

zac is such a great person. there are a lot of celebrities out there who dont take the time to participate in stuff like this. It also sets a great example for the younger generation to go out and help the people who are less fortunate. He seems like a very caring and wonderful person.

sooo cute and soo sweet from hem to do that ..

There’s just something about Zac and kids that just amazes me.
Zac + kids = Flove
He has a way of making these kids happy. I love it. Such good heart

I love that quote from Lori. She is such a Kuuipo.
It seems like Zac has introduced Vanessa way back before and how this girl stole his attention and not only that but his heart as well.

# 6

That’s really sweet of him. But, he looks really greasy, and is wearing a lot of makeup!
Still though, he is a good looking boy!

# 8

Anyone notice how he’s suddenly become a lot more greasy and unshaven, a la Robert Pattinson?

You can still tell he spends hours in front of the mirror perfecting his look though…

If you want to know the real secret of Zac efron and all that media don’t say about him, watch this video on YouTube: “The avident proof that Zac Efron…”

omg! He is sooo cute…I love him so much! He seems to be so caring and nice and everything…
Lucky V!

zanessafan4ever18 @ 12/20/2008 at 5:20 am

He’s so sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

valentine @ 12/20/2008 at 5:29 am

he is a wonderful person.

A lot of celebrities stay at home of hang out in disco. Zac, he looks after people who need help …

That’s so gret and i’m so proud of him
Even he looks greasy or not, that’s not the most important of this event…

valentine @ 12/20/2008 at 5:30 am

we don’t ask him to bo beautiful in this sort of events,
we ask him to enjoy and make pleasure to these kids …

Omg there are pics of Zac from last year where he looks like this, it’s well known that he doesn’t cut his hair between roles and he often doesn’t shave, he wore that jacket for the HSM2 dvd releas last Dec, all of this way before Rob. He is wearing no make-up here at all, and I say that as a make-up artist, his skin is White and he looks quite tired a sure sign that he isn’t!!

Why let all that detract from him doing something wonderful. He has the kindest heart, bless him and those lovely children.

Zac is so sweet and what his former Summerland co star had to say about him and his relationship with Vanessa is awesome, Vanessa is amazing and I hope her and Zac have a really Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! :D

Aw he is such a sweetheart.

Ok, so he only may be 21 but dont you think Zac + kids = adorable! In future years!!!

justJared fan @ 12/20/2008 at 6:03 am

Um…It’s called a PR stunt for good publicity.

ashley bass @ 12/20/2008 at 6:06 am

#21 actually it’s called doing something nice for someone else, and making a childs day that little bit brighter!! You make me sick that u can’t see what a kind hearted act that is. The publicity only serves to highlight the good cause! Zac is a sweetheart!

That’s cool, he’s such an awesome guy! A nice thing to do at Christmas!!

doesn’t makeup take away shine, not add it? I don’t think he wears as much makeup as people say he does.

He’s a nice guy and people need to stop hating on him.

so sweet and gorgous, love him!! Those eyes are stunning!

As much as I love Zac, he just seems too perfect.
It’s annoying

#32 how childish. He’s a great guy, but he not perfect. Geez hated on for being nice to children at Christmas, whatever next!

zac is a really great guy…and i m happy van got him

V-loyalist @ 12/20/2008 at 9:03 am

It’s sad how can anyone says this is all for publicity at this time of the year when all this guy wants is to give back and encourage them to not give up hope. Seriously, I doubt these skeptics have done this kind of thing in this entire being but instead would rather speak ill to people who do them no wrong.

Anyway he is doing a good job, reaching out to give happiness to these kids in need, devote his extra time to be with them who possibly might spend their holidays in that situation. Kudos to you!

why does he have to be compared to anyone they are all different and they are all good looking in their own way.
Zac Efron is a good actor and seems to have a good head on his shoulders.
This cause is so wonderful I am a mother and if my child was sick like these kids she would be so happy for that moment to get to meet actors that she looks up to. People should be posting how wonderful these organizations are instead of what he looks like and if he is trying to look like someone else.

Agree with you, V-loyalist! Publicity at this time of year? Can people just stop? I’m sure the hospital’s PR people called the papers to let them know he would be there. Zac would never need the attention. He just truly enjoys doing charity work and giving back when he can. I’m sure those children were thrilled about meeting him and making them feel better, even if for a few minutes.

Thanks, Zac. It means the world to those lucky kids that you cared enough to visit them. It’s not fun being in the hospital at Christmas. And I know….I’m a nurse. So many sad things happen around the holidays, and it’s so nice to have a bright spot like this!!!!

V-loyalist @ 12/20/2008 at 9:44 am

G’morning go sox!!

Yes, I’m with you on your sentiments and I believe you being a nurse know how these children feels and seeing Zac and got to chat
with him… I’m sure they got their best Christmas gift ever!!!

His hair is too long.Zac needs a haircut!

So nice of Zac to do this for these really sick kids. You can tell they really relate to him and him to them. I’m sure he made their Christmas’s . As far as the comment from his Summerland costar, she said it like it is. He is a one woman man and truly cares about Vanessa or he wouldn’t be with her this long. The love they have is so obvious and yet so rare these days, especially among the hollywood crowd.

awww zac is a perfect angel whos sooo hot lol

What a great guy. Zac gives his time to bring attention to this cause. That’s why there are pictures of him doing this. They are not paparazzi pictures. The hospital wants people to know Zac was there doing this because it will encourage other people and maybe actors to do the same. In the long run, it benefits the hospital and the children.

And yes, he didn’t have to do it. But he did.

Bless him.

AW!! he is actually genuinely smiling and happy in these pictures! sometimes he makes this sorta half smile when he’s just like eh, okay I’ll take a picture but he looks so cute and happy in these! AW

AW!! he is actually genuinely smiling and happy in these pictures! sometimes he makes this sorta half smile when he’s just like eh, okay I’ll take a picture but he looks so cute and happy in these! AW

First, I doubt that Zac was the only celebrity who was doing this—he’s just the only one pictured here as this is who the photographer selected to take a picture of here with all these kids. Maybe if someone wold search they would be able to also find pictures of other stars who were part of this moment.

Also, as Lily said in her post Zac is not doing this to bring attention to himself but to bring attention to the CAUSE—that being of the Children’s Hospital. Being a nurse who has worked with a lot of kids the past several years and have had dealings with the Children’s Hospital close to me, it is amazing how many very sick children are in the hospital over Christmas. A few year ago one of my patients was there for 42 days on the verge of death and it was over Christmas and it was a horrible time. Many Bengals football players came in with gifts, etc. It made the kids feel great to get something special and it made the parents who had to be there feel pretty good too.

I can only imagine what Zac felt like being around kids who had so many machines hooked up to them. Seeing some poor little girl or boy having tubes running everywhere to all kinds of machines—it can really be overwhelming. It still is for me and I’ve been in nursing for over 30 years.

May Zac have a wonder holiday may God bless all those kids and their families.

zanessa4ever! @ 12/20/2008 at 11:05 am

aww thats so cute and nice of him!

Hi, V-loyalist!! Yes,those kids got the gift of a lifetime, because they’ll always have the MEMORY of his kindness to them. That’s the part that lasts!!

It baffles me that some people would diss how Zac looks instead of praising him for bringing joy into these kids’ lives.

i bet hes gonna cut his hair since robert just did it.

What a nice thing for Zac to do such a great guy

he couldn’t be a more perfect and sweet guy!
i just love him…but not only because he`s gorgeous, also because he has a great heart and cares about other people and he’s been very greatful with all that has happen to him… :)

sorry for my english i’m from Argentina

xoxo

Hey, you can get pictures of you and him together here: http://www.starsqueeze.com

he’s so perfect.
zac is a divo ! *—-*

oh look zac is nice and greasy for the holidays.

He looks good too bad he can’t act. Stick w/ musicals Zac.

#55 and #56, you must be the same person. a STUPID KID who did not bother to read the post. maybe you can’t read.

zac is at a childrens hospital making kids who are going to die happy. and you make a STUPID comment about his looks.

you are sad, pathetic and mean.

#55 and #56 how very pathetic. You really need a dose of good manners and learn to grow up. Didnt u ever get told that i you have nothing nice to say, you shouldnt say anthing at all. This is a good cause and your being spitful, i pity you if thats your attitude.

back to the important part. Zac is a wonderful guy, so so sweet of him to give his time to brighten childrens lives! When they get to meet someone like Zac they truly get to be happy for a while and forget about everything, the parents love it too. I worked with Make a wish for a while and I can’t you how much it makes them happy to get just a little bit of joy, they are so greatful it’s so heartbreaking to see children ill, but they are so amazing and strong, we should all learn from them. Humilty and grace cost nothing and these poorly children ask for nothing but stay so strong and happy. It’s wonderful to see Zac bringing them toys and his presence! There are some really adorable pics of him and a little girl and she looks smitten!

he is soo sweet! i love him!

HES GOING TO BE SUCH A GOOD DADDY!!! THAT GIRL ON ZACS LAP LOOK LIKE IT COULD BE HIS DAUGHTER

HES GOING TO BE SUCH A GOOD DADDY!!! THAT GIRL ON ZACS LAP LOOK LIKE IT COULD BE HIS DAUGHTER

zac lover:) @ 12/20/2008 at 1:21 pm

Zac, is not only sooo hot! but he’s caring. loving, and gives to others who don’t have as much or are sick. I know a lot of celebs give to charity’s but really we only see some actually go to them in person and fill them with joy and be sincere about it, like zac. What a GREAT guy man why can’t there be more guys out there like him :/ Vanessa is the freakin’ luckiest girl ever!!!!

Oh and other thing about zac that is AMAZING is that you notice he never ever talks about others in a bad way no matter what I’ve only ever heard positive things leave his mouth:) ahh.. so dreamy lol

What a nice thing for Zac to do. His parents did a great job raising him.

♥zanessa-lova4life♥ @ 12/20/2008 at 1:38 pm

Aww how sweet ♥
I love what Lori said about him & Vanessa. It really shows the kind of guy he is to Vanessa!
The pics make me think of the future when he and V have kids. He looks like he’ll make a great daddy!
GO ZAC ♥

I hope there will be a future E segment with Zac that they include more career details. They completely skipped over his two upcoming movies (17 again and MAOW) but mentioned Footloose. Sounds like they didn’t do much research on him.

nowornever @ 12/20/2008 at 1:45 pm

his hair is awful!

A Logical Person @ 12/20/2008 at 2:03 pm

Zac has a very big heart. He really is a very caring person to donate his time to a cause like this. Especially at Christmas time. The happiness he brought to these kids is priceless.

I love Zac Efron

is perfect

he is shining .

beautiful inside and out.

It’s really sweet of him to do this. Not only has he given these kids a great christmas, I’m sure he’s learnt something from them just seeing how bravely they handle their illnesses. Bless him (and the other celebrities that participated) and bless them as well. I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like being in the hospital over Christmas.

Really great thing that hes doing for those kids. He really needs a haircut thought its looking really greasy and discusting! but still a good looking fellow :)

if Jesus came to the hospital, people would say his hair was too long, too.

You idiots need to focus on the issue here, which is Zac doing something good. What the hell does his hair have to do with his giving gifts to kids? Nothing!!!!!

lauraaaaa @ 12/20/2008 at 3:33 pm

what a sweetie (:
<3

He looks damn fine even if he is shiny. I have super oily skin so I know what he goes through but anyway. Anne #50 um Zac had long hair WAY b4 rob came on the scene, it’s his trademark (besides the eyes) and is not planning on cutting it anytime soon. Especially not since Rob did it, when will these people realize that Zac is not trying to copy him. Marissa #56 it really doesn’t matter if YOU THINK he can act because as stated on his segment of the E! True Hollywood Story important people are noticing him and know he has a hot career ahead of him. So I really doubt he cares what you think about his acting when directors and producers know he is extremely talented. But I agree with these posters who said this post is about the kids and you guys are on this thread trying to bag on his looks. Shame on you.

someday I hope to see some zanessa kids in the future too^^

zac+vanessa+kids=happily ever after<3

when that time comes, I will be filled with joy!^^ what could be more beautiful than zanessa kids? lol it’s like a result of their love

#77 lol that’s exactly what it is.

I’m so not a fan! However, that’s very sweet.

zac is the best.I am from spanish and I love you zac.He is very handsome and very very kind.kiss

aww to cute but Zac needs to cut his hair!

What else can I say, Zac is one helluva genuine guy with the looks and body to boot.

OMG ! he is so sweet I LOVE YOU Zac , He is the BEST !

so sweet of him.I feel sorry for all those sick kids though no outsider can understand what there going through.V should’ve come with him.

Happy holidays to all the Zac/Van fans!

Here is a song from Van…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtJNXbw60co

JJ:

Vanessa is involvoled with Best Buddies International which is als a children’s charity.

I Love Zanessa.

Tiptoes, thanks for posting that. I had forgotten how lovely she looked and sounded on that special!! So, so pretty.

He looks like a wax figure of himself.

An article I read about this on yahoo said Zac spent 2 hours being with the kids and their families and spent time with the kids that couldn’t even speak but had smiles on their faces nevertheless. That’s my kind of guy.

Karen, I read several articles about Zac’s good deed. I’m sure the hospital and the parents of these kids love him for doing this. Such a generous thing to do at this time of year.

Zac looks like he is having fun.

omg zac efron is like the most gorgeous boy ever !
i’m from brazil and poeple here are simply crazy (even horny) about him! i dont blame them tough - he’s everything a perfect boy ought to be ! LOVE YOU ZAC

BRAZIL LOVES YOU ZAC!

zacefronfan @ 12/21/2008 at 8:32 pm

The entire world loves you Zac!!!

“Awww!” That’s pretty much what I’ve been uttering now for the past few minutes. This is so very Zac and it’s not surprising in the least but is wonderful to see nonetheless. :-) I’ll bet this is one truly memorable holiday for those kids and their families…I’m sure it would be anyway with them being in the hospital, but now this is a good memory they can carry with them. I think Zac knows a thing or two about the holiday spirit…and he knows how to carry it throughout the year…he doesn’t just do this stuff at Christmas. Thank you for continuing to remind me why I just adore ya, Zac!

Oh, and I loved what Lori Loughlin said. :-)

Our friend “For Real” must be away. I hope he/she has a great Christmas as I hope you all do.

I really hope Zac & Vanessa have a great Christmas together too.

Merry Christmas ZAc & Vanessa fans!

IDEALLY SPEAKING.

YOU DO NOT MESS UP WITH YOUR MARRIAGE.

THE LORD INSTITUTED MARRIAGE, WHICH IS SACRED FOR A MAN AND A WOMAN TO BE JOINED TOGETHER IN ONE FLESH, THROUGH SEX.

“SEX IN MARRIAGE IS BED UNDEFILED”

SO SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE IS A SIN.

“THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH”

SO WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MARRY A PERSON THAT YOU LIKE?

FIRST, LOVE G-D ABOVE ALL ELSE, IN YOUR HEART AND MIGHT YOU DO THINGS FOR YOUR LOVE TO G-D. YOU SHOULD SEARCH THE LORD G-D AS PART OF YOUR LIFE, START A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR FIRST.

THEN DATE THAT PERSON THAT YOU LIKE THAT G-D MIGHT HAVE GIVEN YOU, TO KNOW THAT PERSON FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS WITHOUT SEX. THE GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER STAGE IS 2 YEARS AND FOUR MONTHS WITHOUT SEX. THEN, AFTER 2 YEARS AND FOUR MONTHS OF DATING YOU BOTH DECIDE FOR THE NEXT LEVEL OF THAT RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS MARRIAGE.

WHAT IS MARRIAGE ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST?

(MARK 10: 3-12)

“And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth ADULTERY.

IN OTHER VERSES, JESUS ADDED THAT ANY SINGLE PERSON WHO IS SEXUALLY INVOLVED WITH A MARRIED PERSON IS COMMITING ADULTERY.

BASE ON THE BIBLE TEXT ABOVE YOU CAN ONLY GET MARRIED AGAIN WHEN YOUR SPOUSE IS DEAD,
YOU CAN REMARRY WHEN YOU ARE A WIDOWER OR A WIDOW.

Looks like the snowy weather brings out all the NUT CASES. Wish they would stay in their cages where they belong.

maybe it’s computer day in the mental ward.

I really do think it’s a waste of my time and energy to post any relevant comments on Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens threads. Why? Because too many anxious people read what they want into the comments and add their own perception.

Example: on a recent thread I said, “I hope the paps don’t get pictures of them bringing home a Christmas tree.”

Someone read the “bringing home” as “bringing to Vanessa’s new house.”

If I had meant Vanessa’s new house I would have said that. I didn’t.

Hope all Zac and Vanessa’s REAL fans have a great Christmas.

Hmph, im going to marry this kid<3
Hes so sweet, and caring.
UHH! i love you Zachary. :D

Good to hear from you For Real.
It may seem like a waste of time posting in Zac and Van threads when there seems to be many haters and immature fans posting nonsense. But believe me, there are a lot more true Zan fans out there, including those from other blogs, that keep a close tab on the couple, and any inputs you share is well appreciated..

Have a good christmas too.

BTW, Vanessa is only partially moved into her new house. Besides getting new furniture, she is having a bit of remodeling done. Though she does manage to spend a good amount of time there.

thanks for sharing this info For Real.

zac is such a great guy! he has it all..looks, brains and a big heart! so sweet of him to make those sick kids happy at xmas!!! bless your heart zac you are the BEST!!!!

For Real:

My original idea was not to post at all but then I realized that that would leave this board to the rude , pathertic posters who come here to cause trouble. So I’ll stay.

There are some great loyal MATURE Zac & Vanessa fans on this board and I post with and for them. We provide balance and in may cases honesty.

Ignore the silly posters and post for us grown ups.

mecha newton @ 12/22/2008 at 10:17 pm

zac is so tender, i love him, is unique

mecha newton @ 12/22/2008 at 10:20 pm

TE AMO FORRO

I got to meet him there since my brother was sick in the hospital at the time.
I was genuinely happy to meet a celebrity who was so down-to-earth and giving to the sick children there

Arianna, so nice you got to meet him, and see that he is probably just a regular guy!! How nice for these kids who had a bright spot in their day, cause there aren’t many for hospitalized kids who are very sick. Hope your brother is better soon, and home for the holidays!

For Real, nice to hear from you! I certainly don’t blame you for how you feel. It’s pretty darn frustrating at times around here. That’s why we older fans and some of our loyal, mature younger ones, try to keep sanity and calm as much as we can. We’ve been at it for awhile, and it’s not always easy. Nice to know Vanessa is taking her time moving into her new place, and probably enjoying picking out her furniture, etc. For what it’s worth, thanks, and know that all us logical, mature minds do appreciate your tasteful and unobtrusive updates!

*——-* Thats cutie :D
