Zac Efron Gets a Haircut!!!
A clean-shaven Zac Efron walks out of La Peer Salon with a so fresh, so clean haircut on Thursday afternoon (July 2) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 21-year-old actor, in his trademark plaid button-up, had been growing his hair out since promoting his blockbuster comedy, 17 Again.
Zac is set to star in the upcoming drama The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud. He was seen preparing for his role last week, taking a ride out on a sailboat.

Zac, sweety, you look hotter than hell now, but I still don’t think Chace will do you. I don’t think he’s into boys, even boys as pretty as you!
OMG! HE LOOKS SO GREAT, NOW I LOVE HIM MORE JAJA
LMAO he looks even gayer omg. i cant stop laughing
growing up i see
Too bad he’s not out with Vanessa.
HIS MIDDLE FINGER LOL
i love him, he is hot again
SOOOOO much better.
Hope he keeps his hair this way. He looks so much more like a man instead of a teen age skater dude. Good choice, Zac.
Eww! this is so eww
Have to admit I much prefer Zac’s hair off his face as it’s such a shame to hide his georgous blue eyes.
Wonder if his middle finger on the one photo is aimed at the press.
omg zac never grow it out again! you look clean cut and back in the game now!
Looking good Zac.
I Like Zac’s Hair this way. He looks much better.
It’s about time! Love it.
I LOVE it.
This is a funny picture.

His new hair style similar to chace , i love both of them
“Chace Crawford sports a new haircut as he gets back to work on the New York City set of Gossip Girl on Monday (June 29).”
http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/06/29/chace-crawford-gets-back-on-the-set/
I was shocked! when I saw these pictures, I couldn’t believe
that was him he looks different. He still looks very handsome
either way with long hair or short. Zac Efron is a hottie with
a body(:
thanks god.. he finally got rid of his ridiculous hairstyle

Whatevs, I’m so pro this haircut! And Zac in general! LA LA LA!!
MUCH BETTER:)
love his new hair cut.<3
He looks hot with or without long hair….he can pull off any of those looks and still look scrumptous!!!
im not a fan of Zac Efron but i have to say, he looks good with this hair cut
Oh, man, he went from yum to yumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyum!!
omg!!!! so handosme! :) he looks WAY better with his new hair!
I find it’s more short … like in “Hairspray” … I prefer Zac’s hair in HSM 2 and HSM 3
he looks just like young Jared Leto,of course Jared is 10 times hotter

He’s perfect whichever hair look he has.

Anyone who’s read the book think another actor will play the young Charlie? Or maybe they will have Zac’s hair combed down over his forehead for the young version and combed back like in these pictures for the older Charlie.

TRUE LOVE
CASE STUDY: ZAC EFRON & VANESSA HUDGENS
For two actors to be real-life lovers is no guarantee of chemistry on screen - witness Bennifer in Gigli.
But when two people can click in both reel life and real life, the chemistry can be explosive.
The success of High School Musical 3, and the two TV movies that preceded it, can be attributed in large part to the authentically loving vibe between Efron and Hudgens, who have been involved in a long-term relationship since appearing in the very first High School Musical.
Whenever we see them together - singing, dancing or just hanging out - it is apparent that they are completely into each other.
Hudgens gazes at Efron like she wants to eat him up.
Efron, in spite of the fact that HSM is a Disney franchise for tweens, can hardly keep his hands off of her.
Chemistry can indeed be a powerful concoction, especially when true love is added to the mix.

love that article malia……
and the part about people who DON’T have chemistry LMFAO
wow. i’ve never though he was cute, but now he’s actually decent!
It’s a reverse mullet.
What the hell, Zac. What the hell.
He is so freaking hot. OMG. Look at him winking aww.
I think it’s very appropriate that he seems to be flipping off the paps in that last picture! I love his sense of humor! You go Zac!
@moviefreak:
I think he is . . . very subtly, though. :)
finally! he looks SO much better. now we can actually see his cute face :)
Its nice to see Zac’s blue eyes again..ha..ha.. love the haircut!
And Malia, that was a very cute article. Zac and Vanessa have it - no doubt. I thought in the book ,h e will have long unkempt hair. Maybe it doesn’t matter if it will make him look older specially when matched with the unshaven face - he will look older than 21 years old.
Bettybaby - the irony of that incompatibility statement is not lost on me - unless you are from that other shipper.
@Malia: Thanks. Loved the article :)
Oh, heck, I’ll go ahead and post this. It was in that article:
To qualify as having chemistry in a Hollywood film, it is probably necessary for a couple to have a combined hotness score of at least 16/20.
In the musical Hairspray, many objected to the pairing of Zac Efron and Nikki Blonsky. Though Efron is a 10, Blonsky would probably rate only a 5.5 - fairly or unfairly - due to her weight, for a combined total of 15.5.
Hot, but not hot enough.
Source: http://tnp.sg/printfriendly/0,4139,206796,00.html
First!
@Tiptoes
oh the irony LMFAO!!!!!!!
and its certainly not the first time i’ve seen a writeup about that particular subject!
is he purposely trying to look like Brent Corrigan??? Brent gets a haircut, then Zac gets a haircut…
I don’t know who Brent Corrigan is. Never heard of him. But, then I don’t follow any entertainers except Zac and Vanessa.
BTW I got a haircut yesterday, too. So, Zac was copying me. How could he do that? I didn’t even tell him I was getting my hair cut. :)
yeeeeees! finally! the cut looks good :]
ha..ha.. Malia, the irony of it all. I think the writer agrees with our definition of chemistry.
Bettybaby, yes I know. Even their horoscope readings spell
compatibility in every way - specially in the love and passion aspect.
And speaking of on-screen pairing for Zac, I haven’t read yet any news on who will play Tess. I hope its an actress who can complement Zac on the acting department, not on mere looks (and body) alone.
god, he’s look nice in every way! but he is more sexy with that hair in his face hahahaha
I hate vanessa, she wasn’t made for him, I just don’t know why KKK
OH NO!!!!!! I HATE THIS :(
I LOVED HIS LONG HAIR :(((
yea tess is a huge mystery ATM….which confounds me b/c filming is set to start in a few weeks i believe!
long hair was waaaaay better
meh.. he looks so average now
Keep those ears clean now zac…..
Unless Zac is doing another film altogether that we don’t know, the news of the actress playing Tess should be announce shortly.
I understand that he might be going to Vancouver by end of July, as filming for DLCSC is set for first week of August. *Crosses fingers* for a good actress.
Yeah, I’m hoping for Kate Winslet. OK, seriously, I’ll settle for Natalie Portman or Emma Watson. Well, someone with good acting chops.
But, they are already filming Beastly and the IMDB still has not listed who is play Kyle’s girlfriend or dad or Lindy’s dad. Don’t know how they keep those things a secret.
Malia, Kyle girlfriend, Sloane is being played by the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, Dakota. You can see her in the ET first look interview of Beastly video (check TH); and in the cast first Montreal candids (but she is not made up yet - the tall blonde walking beside Van).
I am guessing that since they are filming indoors most of the time for Beastly, that the names of the other actors/actress are being kept under wraps.
As to Zac’s leading lady in this next film, maybe they will surprise us with their choice (hopefully a good one). There are a lot more paps in Vancouver than in Montreal, so hopefully we will find out soon.
I kind of like it a little longer—not like it had gotten since that just looked too unkempt and messy. There was a photoshoot l last year with some famous photographer where his hair was just perfect to me. He looked handsome and sexy and older. It was the ones that had him in some of the pictures on his skateboard. I’m also kind of in disagreement about the shorter hair making him look older. I don’t think it does. I think he looks really good here but I have seen him with his hair where I think he looked better, that’s all. He is simply a gorgeous young man no matter how his hair is. His facial features and his eyes will stand out no matter what.
I like his hair better this way.
His new hair cut is pretty much the same as it was when he got the haircut for MAOW. Except now the back and sides are shorter.
http://justjared.buzznet.com/gallery/photoitemfull.php?yr=2008&mon=02&evt=zac-mitzvah&pic=zac-efron-bat-mitzvah-02.jpg
Well Karen, seeing that his hair grows very quickly, no doubt it will be at its desired length by the time the movie starts filming in about a month.
In MAOW, his hair is really short (like the military crewcut) and he was acting like a teen in that film. So, I guess it depends on the movie role. Its funny we are discussing hair styles here…ha..ha…
I do think that a with a stubble, an unshaven look, and “right” clothes, he can project an older character, regardless of his hair length.
He looks more leading man-ish He reminds me of a young Tom Cruise.
Yep, he looks more leading man now.
How many titillating ways do you suppose they can write about his haircut? Hahahahaha.

#126–tiptoes:
I was going through trying to find the pictures I was thinking of when I commented in my last post. I really liked how he looked at the Teen Vogue’s Young Hollywood awards and I liked the way he looked in the Entertainment Weekly photoshoot and cover. I think that is my favorite.
@131 - I know the set of pics you are referring to Karen. *nods head*
The guy can be a real charmer if he wants to.
Bee, I didn’t like his hair style in some of the 17 again premieres but I guess if its combed back nicely, it would look neater. (Wow, who knew we can talk about guy’s hairstyle..ha..ha..)
@Karen:
Maybe this one:
http://www.theinsider.com/photos/1379747_Zac_Efron_does_a_photoshoot_for_Entertainment_Weekly_in_Diesel_jeans
I like him wearing suits…it makes him look older.
http://www.zefron.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=528&pos=0
Way too narrow across the chest. He needs to work out and look more like a man. Teen idol is where it will stop if he doesn’t.
Why is everybody copying RPattz hair style? First Chase, and now Zac - obviously both cute boys want to get some attention and love away from Rob. Sorry guys, the Brit is way head and shoulders above when it comes to royal hottnesss!!! Try harder next time.
SEXXXYYYYYY!!!!!!
He looks so HOT!Vanessa’s a lucky girl:))
wow why do he and chace crawford ALWAYS match in hair
I think this is haircut for film with zac ! for Jonny Quest >>> http://www.classicjq.com/art/production/images/JonnyEarly2.jpg
Only he need it blond :)
so~~~ hot !
He is famous in korea
……kiki
zac 에프론 high school musicle 잘 봤어요!!~~
please this language analysis
Guess that’s all the big news Efron can garner these days. He is a soon to be has been.
OMG HE LOOKS GORGOUSE HE CAN HAVE LONG OR SHORT HAIR AND STILL LOOK CUTE BUT HIS SHORT IS SO GORGE WELL DONE ZAC GOOD CHOICE
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
This cut isa soooooooooooooooooooo cute!
Zac looks sooooooooooooooawesome!
Such a clean and fresh cut Zachary!
You rock!
Oops! I made so many errors in excitement!
This cut is soooooooooooo cute!
Zac looks so awesome!
#133–Malia:
That’s exactly the picture I was thinking of. To me that is the very best look. He is simply dreamy with that look. That’s my all time favorite.
#134–tiptoes:
Yes, I like when he is dressed up and yet somewhat casual at the same time. The picture is a good example of that.
Both Zac and Vanessa must be a photographer’s dream for photoshoots. The camera loves those two. They are both gorgeous and sexy. It doesn’t matter if the are separate or together. The Elle shoot comes to mind for a pictures of them together.
BTW, nobody is copying anyone with haircuts. That comment is always so stupid. There is a style that starts and you will see it then all the time in Hollywood as well as in everyday life. It’s just like when all the women started having bangs in Hollywood. You saw one or two and then everyone had them in some picture. It’s called a trend, not copycatting. It’s the same when it comes to fashion colors of the season for dresses or wide lapels vs narrow lapels… It’s just the style of the moment. SO, RobPat, Chace, nor Zac OWN a patent on this haircut.
jeez finally. that hair bugged me for the longest time. he’s still ugly though. major gay face.
I think the younger kids who come on here think everyone copies Robert Pattinson and the Jonas Brothers. They don’t realize that there are millions of people out there in the world who don’t give a s-h-i-t about RP or the JB.
You can tell it’s younger kids making those comments. They’re all about “he cheated” or “he copied.” They don’t know about fashion trends and how a hairstylist or movie role can determine the hairstyle Zac gets.
Love that Link wink. Love Ya Zac
finally! now we have the same haircut again, i love it! <3 :3
ZAC YOU LOOOK SOO SOOOO SOOOOOO GOOOOD! <3
finally!!!
@skinny: “Way too narrow across the chest. He needs to work out and look more like a man. Teen idol is where it will stop if he doesn’t.”
Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen a picture of Zac without a shirt? OMG! He is majorly hot and sexy. Great pecs, biceps, and abs. Yummy. Yummy.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO EVERYONE IN THE USA!!!!
Hmmmmm . . . don’t think that’s a “link wink.” Zac is squinting because of the sun.
And, I’d say Zac’s in pretty darned good shape. Without a shirt.
http://justjared.buzznet.com/gallery/photoitemfull.php?yr=2008&mon=10&evt=zac-hawaii&pic=zac-efron-vanessa-hudgens-hawaii-wedding-05.jpg
Happy July 4 to all ZV American fans!
At this time last year our lovebirds were taking a T&C vacation - how fast time flies. Well, wherever they are hiding now, I hope they are enjoying the break and fireworks!
Karen, the Elle photoshoot is one of my all time favorite of Zac and Van’s photoshoots. This is one of my favorites - its hard to choose really…they are all gorgeous!
http://www.zefron.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=455&pos=19
Tiptoes,
I loved them all but I loved the ones that were the last to be released—just a month or two ago. It’s the ones where Zac is in the white dinner jacket and Vanessa is in that beautiful yellow dress and they are pressed up against each other against the lockers looking lovingly into each other’s eyes. Those were sexy, sensual, loving, and downright gorgeous.
BTW, it is good to come on the main board and talk about Zac in a more mature fashion. The Jr board is absolutely juvenile right now… That’s all I can say. It is sad how some people love drama.
So, is Vanessa really home for the weekend? Or are those just more fake tweets floating around? Supposedly someone saw them coming out of The Counter (a burger place) in Studio City. Sounds like the kind of place Zac and Vanessa would go to. Now I want a burger.
http://laist.com/2009/05/19/the_counter_finally_opens_in_studio.php
Karen, I don’t like the kiddie dramas at JJJ; its tiresome to respond to these haters. I admire you gals for stepping in there once in a while but honestly these same people comment the same blah-blah over and over again.
Also, those “newer” outtakes from ELLE are also in the link I earlier posted; just scroll some more and you can see them. A pity they were not included in the magazine - the shots are HOT !
Malia, I hope the tweets are true. It was a holiday here in Canada last Wed, so Van might have taken some days off in LA. And there are no paps (hardly) in Montreal and when you take domestic flights.
Anyway ZV must be having their own fireworks …ha..ha..
That’s the main reason I don’t go to JJJ. Way too many immature fans/haters on there. Sometimes I’ll take a peek if someone on another site mentions something, but it’s like a bunch of middle school drama queens let loose on the Internet.
I think that is what happens when we don’t see or read news on Zac, or Vanessa. The fans and the tabloid outlets goes into a frenzy of rumors and outlandish speculations because news on anything about these two people are sure hits.
Have you looked how many hits or links when you search for them in the internet? Its crazy….
Zac - 15,000,000
vanessa - 2,800,000
Zac and Vanessa - 5,560,000
No wonder they are hiding from us!
Malia:
I wouldn’t be surprised if Vanessa is home for the holiday. I kind of thought she might get to come home for a few days. Also, when Zac showed back up in LA after being with friends at home I figured there might be a reason he was coming back instead of going ahead and spending the holiday with his familyl
I love Zac’s broad shoulders and wings and narrow torso, my ideal physique.
omg i love his hair xo it really shows his blue eyes xo !!
hope he keeps his hair like tat x x
@Karen:
Yep, I thought it odd that he didn’t stay with his family through the 4th, too. I figured he would be going to Montreal. But Vanessa must have gotten a few days of and headed home instead.
Maybe they had a 4th of July party at either his or her house.
looks like jared leto got a haircut too. did he copy zac? hahahahahaha
http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/07/05/jared-leto-brent-bolthouse-fourth-of-july-bffs/

He’s such a wannabe! he lost to rpatz (: yay! Rpatz is soooooooo much better looking and at the TCA’s u could tell he was copying RPatz because he was putting his fingers through his hair! and his hair looks just like robs! but i couldnt blame him because all guys want to look like Rob(: Zac Efron is sooooo overrated
