Zac Efron Lands at LAX

Always the gentleman, Zac Efron tries to protect his mom Starla from the surrounding paparazzi as they arrive at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (April 29).

The 21-year-old actor just returned from the last leg of promo for his new flick, 17 Again.

Zac is featured in TIME‘s 100 Most Influential People list, landing right in the middle at number 56. The con that was listed: “For someone looking to be taken seriously, a planned remake of Footloose seems like a very bad idea.” Zac is no longer attached to the project.
