LOS ANGELES, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Zac Efron says he wasn t
much into sports at school, had to be dragged to his senior
prom and was really a bit of a goofball.
So becoming a global teen idol playing a basketball star
who wins the heart of the prettiest girl in school in the
blockbuster High School Musical series has been a shock.
I never, ever would have dreamed it in a thousand years,
Efron, 21, told Reuters. I went to regular high school all the
way through and acting for me was always treated as my hobby
until I graduated.
Once he got started in Hollywood, there was no stopping
Efron. His portrayal of Troy Bolton in the popular Disney
series for three years has sparked Beatles-like mania among
young girls around the world ahead of this week s U.S. opening
of High School Musical 3: Senior Year.
He dates Vanessa Hudgens, who plays his onscreen girlfriend
Gabriella Montez, and it has only seemed to boost his
heartthrob status and put a fairy tale spin on his own life in
high school, which by his account was very ordinary.
I was not really involved in sports. I wasn t a jock or a
nerd. But there is a lot of myself in Troy. He s kind of a
goofball, Efron said.
In the movie, he is well liked for all the right reasons.
I wish it was more like that in real life and then I would have
been a stud in high school, which would have been nicer for
me, he said, flashing a grin.
High School Musical began as a singing and dancing romp
through teenage years in a 2006 made-for-television movie that
eventually drew 255 million viewers worldwide. Then came a
second TV movie in 2007, sold-out stage shows, concerts, theme
park attractions and record-setting sales of DVDs.
SENIOR YEAR
The new movie Senior Year is exactly as it sounds. Troy
and Gabriella s kissing-only young love affair moves through
the final semesters in school, culminating in a romantic senior
prom complete with waltzes, tuxedos and dresses to die for.
Efron s memories of his own prom aren t quite as rosy.
Guys feel like they have to go but it s a big deal for the
girls. You try. You want to be a good date. I got dragged out
of the house to rent a tuxedo. They never fit right, he said.
With Troy bidding farewell to East High, blue-eyed Efron, a
native of California, feels his biggest performance is yet to
come.
He has two movies awaiting release -- the romantic family
comedy 17 Again about a grown-up man who wishes he could go
back to high school and Me and Orson Welles in which he plays
a 1930s teenager with dreams of starring on Broadway.
Efron is also in talks to star in a remake of the classic
1984 musical Footloose.
If none of them sound like much of a stretch from his
squeaky-clean, singing and dancing Disney persona, Efron admits
that being a teen hottie can be both a blessing and a curse --
as Leonardo DiCaprio discovered after the success of
Titanic.
I do tend to try and avoid places where teenagers hang
out, Efron said shyly.
I m trying to diversify and change, and I m learning a lot
about acting and beginning to admire actors like DiCaprio and
Johnny Depp who are constantly changing it up, he said. But I
don t take anything too seriously right now. I m having fun.
