Zac Efron is Charlie St. Cloud Smiley

Zac Efron jokes with a crew member as he arrives on the set of The Death And Life Of Charlie St Cloud in Vancouver on Friday morning (August 7).

The 21-year-old actor plays the title character in the upcoming drama. Zac has been super busy preparing for his new role — sailing and deep sea diving lessons were amongst Zac‘s training.

Zac will be flying back to L.A. soon — he’s set to attend the 2009 Teen Choice Awards this weekend!
