Zac Efron Archives

Zac Efron peeks out from behind a curtain in this new movie still for his upcoming drama, Me and Orson Welles.

Synopsis: The story of a whirlwind week in 1937 NYC when young aspiring actor Richard Samuels (Efron) is thrown into the middle of Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre Company on the eve of the opening of Welles’ historic staging of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. During this week, Richard will find romance with a worldly older woman (Sonja Jones, played by Claire Danes), become immersed in a creative experience few are afforded, and learn the downside of crossing the imperious, brilliant Welles (Christian McKay). Richard is about to grow up fast.

Zac Efron and Leonardo DiCaprio sit next to each other as they watch the Los Angeles Lakers defeat the Denver Nuggets, 104-90, at Staples Center on Friday in Los Angeles.

The 21-year-old teen heartthrob and 34-year-old former teen heartthrob sat next to each other and shared many laughs together throughout the night. Look. They’re even folding their hands the same way! Seems like Leo passed on the teen hearthrob crown to Zac tonight!

Maybe Leo worships Zac after all.

Last month, Zac talked about transitioning from poster boy to Oscar contender. He said, “I would love to just sit down and talk with Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp and pick their brains about their early careers. They do it because they love it, not because they enjoy being famous.”

Looks like Zac got his wish!

Also sitting next to Leo was Entourage star Kevin Connolly.

Zac is excited for actor Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, saying, “I’m stoked for him. I’m gonna be there! I’ll be watching Twilight in theaters - probably opening!”

Ashley Tisdale (in Camilla and Marc) and Vanessa Hudgens (in BCBG Max Azria) sandwich in Zac Efron (in Arthur Galan) at the the premiere of High School Musical 3: Senior Year at the Greater Union George Street cinemas on Monday in Sydney, Australia.

The trio was accompanied by director Kenny Ortega, who said, “I never would have thought this film would have had the global reach it has. I wept my eyes out on our final scene when the curtain came down. I had that bitter-sweet moment parents have when they send their kids off to college. I do fear for them because it’s a fickle industry and there’s lots of traps. But I have great confidence … that they are going to make good decisions and stay around for a minute.”
