Wowing UK With Total Lack Of Charisma, Zac Efron Shows Terror At Prospect Of HSM 4

by Becky Howard

The High School Musical 3 juggernaut has hit the UK with a bang, sparking the predictable hordes of hyperventilating teenage girls, who stormed the premiere in London’s Leicester Square last night. And Zac Efron and compay have been on the PR trail selling their soul plugging the latest Disney movie. But the strain’s starting to show on Z-Ef (as absolutely no-one is calling him) after a hugely lackluster interview on breakfast show GM:TV below, some “choice” cuts.

What do you think of the British fans are they more excitable over here? [Monosyllabic] “Yeah, we’re really excited to see so many fans come out.” [Rubs arm furiously].

Are you enjoying all the attention? “Er…yes” [more frantic arm rubbing].

Surely it’s better than if no-one recognized you?! ” Er … yes.”

What’s been your favorite scene to film? “Specifically? Oh, man …” [rescued at last minute by Corbin Bleu interjection].

We were momentarily roused from our doze during this scintillating interview (can’t wait to see Zac on In The Actors’ Studio at this rate!) by the frankly hilarious look of horror on his face when the subject of HSM 4 came up.

[In panicked tone] “Well, er, I don’t know, we’re promoting 3, man! Our characters have graduated!”

It’s OK, Zac, calm down. We’re sure you have a choice in this matter. Or do you? We just don’t know what kind of blood-tight contract they made you sign back in the day. [Photo: Getty Images]
