Zac Efron Surprised by Muscular Physique
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,
Zac Efron didn't recognize himself after putting on 18lbs of muscle for his new movie.
The 24-year-old actor bulked up to play a war veteran in The Lucky One and admitted he was impressed with his own willpower. "By the end of the movie I didn't recognize myself. You hear about guys like Christian Bale who dive into it and are really able to transform. I've always wondered if I had the willpower to actually do it. And I'll always have pride around the sense that I can," he told Men's Health .
Although the High School Musical actor claims he doesn't have any special talents, he thinks his willingness to work hard plays has played a huge part in his successful career: "I could pick up almost anything. If you put it in front of me, I could always find a way to tackle it. [While training for The Lucky One] I'd get this strange sense of power as those weights increased. I was never a natural at anything, but I could always outwork everybody."

Zac Efron: I’m Not a Heartthrob
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,
Zac Efron does not believe he's a "heartthrob."
Despite being a pin-up for girls across the globe, the former High School Musical star doesn't see what all the fuss is about. "I can't explain to you what it's like to be a heartthrob, [because] I don't think I am a heartthrob. I hate [that word]. I hate it. It follows you around, but you don't deserve it. It's like, 'Why?' I'm just me. I'm just Zac. Just Zac."
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old actor admits he takes extra care to check his pockets when getting ready after accidentally dropping a packet of condoms on the red carpet at the premiere of The Lorax. Zac - who is believed to be dating Mirror Mirror actress Lily Collins - told The Today Show, "I never really had a pocket checking policy prior to going onto the red carpet but now I have fully instated one."
Although he is at least proud to have inadvertently promoted safe sex: "It's a great message to add to the many messages of the film."

Zac Efron’s Kissing Problems
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars,
Zac Efron's on-screen kiss with Michelle Pfeiffer "wasn't very sexy."
The High School Musical hunk - who appears alongside the actress in new ensemble movie New Year's Eve - admitted locking lips with the star didn't go as smoothly as he had hoped, and he ended up having to "spit" on the floor right before the smooch.
"Those things are best to do spontaneous. Have fun and be in the moment. I definitely thought about how it was going to go down. In my mind, the way I pictured it, it was going to be perfect, very romantic, very leading man. Then of course, as we went to film it, right when I went to dip her, a huge piece of confetti went straight into my mouth. I didn't want to finish the kiss like that, so I spit and went for it. That's actually in the movie."
"It wasn't very sexy, but it was cute," Michelle added.

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens Fuel Reconciliation Rumors
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were "constantly touching and kissing" last Friday night.
The pair - who ended their five-year romance last month - fueled rumors they have reunited with their flirty behavior at the opening of SHG's Eden Hollywood when they arrived with mutual friend Brittany Snow late in the evening.
"Vanessa was bopping around with her arms up while Zac had his hands all over her. Vanessa had a smile on from ear to ear and the two were inseparable after that," a source said to People.
Following their public display of affection on the dancefloor, Zac, 23, and 22-year-old Vanessa then retreated to a table - and grew even more affectionate. "Zac sat in between her legs and she wrapped her arms around him. They were making out on and off for the last hour or so until closing. They acted like there was no one else in the room."
The former couple narrowly escaped being pictured together but as he leaned in for a kiss, Vanessa pushed him away after spotting a fellow reveler with a cameraphone. "They were kissing on the lips and seemed to be enjoying their night. They seem to be back together."
