Zac Efron GQ Magazine May 2009

 

Zac Efron is on the cover of the May 2009 GQ magazine. (what’s up with the big hair?)

In the mag the 21-year-old dishes about his new flick ‘17 Again’, his future film career and life in Hollywood. Below are some highlights from his interview:  (beware, he swears a lot)

On working in community-theater productions as a kid:

“It was the worst possible thing you could do in high school. Kids who are in musical theater tend to be self-confident in a quirky kind of way, and when kids who are really self-conscious see somebody doing that kind of thing, they try to bring them down. I used to do random things, man. When I was a kid? I dyed my hair silver, to look like Sisqó in the ‘Thong Song’ video. I just didn’t give a fuck. I didn’t care.”

On being in the entertainment business:

“It’s crazy, all the stuff that happens down there. It’s the American dream. I mean, it’s beautiful. But it’s so fucked up. Up here, everything’s green. And down there, it’s crazy.”

On why he chose to do the movie ‘17 Again‘:

“It’s very transitional, y’know? I didn’t wanna alienate the fans that had been around for so long. The fans, who’ve been around for so many years.”

On rumors he wore fake eyelashes:

“If somebody can find any photo that shows me wearing false eyelashes, I will give them a fucking million dollars. That’s bullshit. (pauses) You know what, dude? A couple of times, when I was young, and I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing—it’s just what happens. Somebody’s there, and it’s their job. And they load you up with makeup. They don’t do the girlie thing, but they, y’know, cover your zits. It didn’t come from a self-conscious place—it was just what everyone did. And since then, people just constantly think I’m wearing makeup. It’s a recurring theme. But fuck, man. I have never worn false eyelashes in my entire life. (blinks a couple of times) That’s all me.”

On rumors he and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens were getting married in while Kauai (when he attended his manager’s wedding):

“That was such bullshit. I’m definitely not getting married. In this business, you’re either getting married or they want you to be pregnant. I’m not getting married until I’m 40. If ever. The thought never crossed my mind.”
