Zac efron
Zac Efron has become one of the most famous young people on the planet thanks to his appearance in High School Musical . He is only 21 years old and is already a star on the small and big screen; a new example of “fan phenomenon”.
His full name is Zackary David Alexander Efron, but everyone knows him as Zac Efron or even Zacquisha or Zefron, as his friends and family nickname him.
This handsome actor was born on October 18, 1987 in San Luis Obispo, California, United States, although he grew up in Arroyo Grande, a few kilometers from his hometown. Zac demonstrated his artistic skills from a very young age, so his parents soon enrolled him in a singing school. When he was only 11 years old, he already got on stage. In a short time he was signed for the production “Gipsy” and from there he jumped to theater and television: he worked in plays such as “Peter Pan” or “Little Shop of Horrors” and in several American television series, such asCSI: Miami .
Although from a very young age he has participated in all kinds of artistic productions, Zac never neglected his studies and in 2006 he graduated from the Arroyo Grande Institute. The actor affirms that his high school years were like those of any boy his age: “he was a normal student. He studied and had good grades, but he didn’t stand out at anything, like in the movie. That same year he was chosen to star inHigh School Musical , one of the biggest phenomena on television, which would later jump to the movies. It didn’t take long for him to become world famous, so he soon had to change his phone number due to the large number of calls he received from his fans.
“Zefron” loves to exercise and his favorite sports are golf, skiing, surfing, mountaineering and snowboarding. He is also passionate about baseball, and has a large collection of cards signed by his favorite players. But this is not all, this 21-year-old Californian also plays the piano and is currently learning to play the guitar. We don’t know where Zac gets so much time to do everything he likes, because he also fixes old cars in his free time, and although it seems impossible, he’s like all the boys his age… he loves video games: “ I think I’ve had all the consoles that have come out, it’s almost a collection” -he says between laughs- “It’s one of my great hobbies. I play Guitar Hero a lot now, although I’m actually better at drums.” A tip for the fans:
Now that Zac is an internationally famous star and has managed to raise “some money”, he has become independent from the family home. His girlfriend is Vanessa Anne Hudgens, whom he met on the set of HSM. The young couple of actors has just acquired a Californian mansion valued at more than two million dollars. Almost nothing!
Zac does not want to be pigeonholed in the musical – in 2007 he also participated in a film of the same genre,Hairspray –, and although he recognizes that it is a very complete option, since it allows him to sing, dance, act… the young actor does not rule out trying other types of productions, such as drama or thriller.
The truth is that Zac ended up a bit sick of listening to HSM’s songs over and over again, so we still don’t know if he will participate in the fourth installment of the film, but don’t panic, Zefron will not leave the cinema, At the moment he has already confirmed that he will shoot the next installment of Pirates of the Caribbean .
