Zac Efron suits up for the smoldering hot cover of Flaunt magazine’s latest issue, on newsstands now!
The 25-year-old actor opened up to the glossy about his past and where he wants his career to go in the future. Check it:
On growing up: “My dad was a pretty intense dude, who used to actually spend time with me in the backyard, you know, playing catch, and we both knew that I was short, I was a small. But I was athletic, and I always felt like I was smarter than everyone, even the adults in the room, but my size held me back. So I just got better than everyone else, by working at it. I would throw the ball harder and faster than everyone—go harder—because I was smaller.”
On his High School Musical days: “Here’s the one thing about High School Musical that a lot of people forget or don’t realize. It affected a lot of people, its resonance, culturally, was massive, and at the same time, it was in every sense of it, the luckiest break in the world.”
On his acting career: “I know I’m not in this for the money. I’m trying to make something good, that I care about, and to make sure that it matters. But I’m not even sure it matters.”
