Zac Efron: ShoWest? ShoSexy!

Zac Efron shows off his shiny new statue — the Breakthrough Performer of the Year Award — at the ShoWest awards ceremony at the Paris Las Vegas on Thursday (April 2) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At the event, the 21-year-old actor told EW why he turned down the role of Ren McCormack in Footloose. He shared, “I’m sure Footloose would have been a huge challenge but the actors that I love and the actors that work really hard in this industry are always shaking things up, trying new genres, acquiring new skill sets. That’s what’s always going to appeal to me: the unknown.”

20+ pictures inside of ShoWest sexy Zac Efron…

I’m not his fan, but I wanna comment. I think he has very beautiful eyes and he seems to be loved by his audience, that makes him a likeable entertainer. He’s still growing as an actor, don’t expect him to have Oscar-worthy performances. He has great potential though. Keep up the good work Zac!!

Zac looks great hot at the podium. Can’t wait for someone to post his speech on youtbue.

To delusional crazies(desiree and Zac is a Rat):

1) No one believes single word you post.

2) You are not fans of Vanessa so please stop that lie.

3)You can trash Zac as much as you like but he will never date Nikki B.
According to The “2009 Zac Annual”, the only thing Zac likes chunky is peanut butter(see “Graham Norton Uncut” on youtube for more Zac facts.)

Kelly,
Turn around is NOT fair play. You are no better than desiree when you lie about Vanessa who has does nothing wrong just because you don’t like what desiree says. That is still hurtful and still a LIE no matter how you cut it and it doesn’t even the playing ground. Do you understand that? She isn’t even a true Vanessa fan so you aren’t accomplishing anything. She’s a Nikki fan!

desiree, do you really think someone like For Real is going to bother to come on this board to straighten out any rumor or lie started by someone like YOU? You are too laughable. You don’t even LIE well. Plus, your script has been play way too many times. You have to go with something fresh and new. You are way too predictable. The lies you print only makes the truth more obvious so I guess we all should be glad for your pathetic comments. The more you post this stuff the more you sound like a little kid. I think you would like to be seen as the playground bully but you are really the kid nobody likes and doesn’t want to have anything to do with you. You are even failing miserably with lying and can’t even bully your way to have weak minded people as followers. That’s pretty sad, girl.

Well done!!! The only criticism is he should have received this award
two years ago. LOL. Zac is really on his way to bigger and better things. I also think he is wise to stay away from musicals for a few
years until he has a diverse amount of roles under his belt.
