Zac Efron is a Nylon Guys Enigma

Nylong Guys sails the waters of Vancouver with the enigma that is Zac Efron to discuss his transition from Disney pin-up to serious actor. The "next king of the silver screen" (?) had this to say...

About his Disney fame:
“I try not to look at all of it. You can’t enjoy or celebrate it; it’s not a real thing. The face on the lunchbox and shit—you can’t share that with your friends.”

And this about his new movie, Me and Orson Welles:
“It’s the first time I’ve ever watched a movie [that I’m in] and in the end I’m like, ‘OK! I didn’t check my watch once!’”

Zac Efron: "Me and Orson Welles" (HQ Teaser)

Here's an early look at the teaser trailer for 'Me and Orson Welles' with Zac Efron and Claire Danes. I saw a few other postings around the net but they were such poor quality, I didn't want to load them until found a high quality video. Anyway, click the pic or here for the trailer.

Synopsis: Set in 1937 New York, the story centers on a high school student (Efron) who happens upon the yet-to-open Mercury Theatre and is noticed by its mercurial founder, Orson Welles. The man lands a part in "Julius Caesar," the production that catapulted Welles to the top, and spends the next week learning about life and love.

Zac Efron is Shirtless in Vancouver

Monday just got a little bit better! Peep these new pics of Zac Efron shirtless on the set of his new movie, 'The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud'.

According to IMDB, 'CDC' is about "a young man overcome by grief at the death of his younger brother. So much so that he takes a job as caretaker of the cemetery in which his brother is buried. Charlie (Zac) has a special lasting bond with his brother though, as he can see him. Charlie meets up with his brother each night to play catch and talk. Then, a girl comes into Charlie's life and he must choose between keeping a promise he made to his brother, or going after the girl he loves.

'The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud' is slated for an indefinite 2010 release. [ source ]

ZAC EFRON GRADUATES TO GQ

Zac Efron continues his growth from boy to man, taking the cover of the men's mag - the May 2009 issue of GQ. Here's an excerpt from the article:

That he knows a career built almost exclusively on the squealing ardor of preteen girls, on choreographed dance numbers set to expository pop tuneage so perkily inoffensive it makes early ’NSync sound like Howlin’ Wolf, is something a man has to live down before you can, y’know, call him a man. He seems like he wants to pass a test. And yet he’s not wrong. Cool Hand Luke is awesome! Compared to the movies of the ’70s, the movies of today look like cheap, mercury-contaminated Chinese toys! And Steve McQueen and Paul Newman? They were awesome!

“I mean—they lived here,” Efron says, gesturing out at the city, clearly meaning not Hollywood the place but Hollywood, the state of being. “They made it through all this.”

ZAC EFRON: INTERVIEW

MILK Director Gus Van Sant chats it up with Zac Efron for Interview magazine's April issue. Alongside the interview, a photo shoot with Lithuanian model Edita Vilkeviciute - including a rather "un-Disney" shot of said model laying naked atop the HSM star (see next page).

Said Efron of the photo shoot:

"I think it went pretty cool. There was, like, a giant sandbox in the middle of a studio, and then I just got to roll around in the dirt for a couple of hours. I got pretty dirty by the end of it, so that was fun. It was definitely different from anything I had ever done before. The photographer was really fun to work with," (so "Disney" to leave out how fun the model was to work with too!)

ZAC EFRON IS LOOKIN' SLICK FOR ELLE

Remember last year's photos of Zac Efron in a supposed sex-toy store, posing with a fan, while girlfriend Vanessa shopped amid a backdrop of phalluses? In the latest issue of Elle, Zac explains...

“Oh, man,” Efron says, laughing, sinking into his chair, covering his face. “It was Halloween Eve, like, two years ago! It was just a costume store, and in the back they have an adult section for adult costumes. And this nice older woman asked for a photo.”

"My mom is like, ‘Zac, what did you buy in a sex shop?’ I was like, ‘Mom, calm down, it’s not a sex shop.’ She wouldn’t have any of it. She’s like”—he mimics his mother’s worried tone—“ ‘I knew you were being sexual!’ But she understood. My stocking was full of condoms this Christmas. She buys me the economy box.”
