And, of course, I was always thinking about you guys and how you all want to know about the hottie that is Zac Efron and his new movie, Charlie St Cloud! heart Hope you enjoy this, as it was really akward for me, well...sorta, and plus, it is going to take me ages to type this!
Hey, Zac, your new movie Charlie St. Cloud is very emotional...
Thank you. It's been great to hear people reacting in an emotional way. That's what happened to me when I read the script, it never happened to me before, but I got emotional.
It's a story about love heart and letting go, and it's a story of two brothers. I'm really close to my little brother Dylan, so I just tried to imagine what life would be like without him.
"My parents are proud of me, they tell me all the time!"
Your character works in a graveyard. Did you ever have an odd job like that?
I didn't, but I did have to clean up the theatre when I was doing plays when I was young. There was no-one else to do it so we did a lot of behind-the-scences stuff. We painted sets, we made backdrops, recorded music, we made our own costumes from stuff at home. That was fun. But sweeping up after a show is the worst. And taking out the trash. Trash bags always seem to leak!
Your family must be proud of your success. Is your little brother proud?
I don't know. We were never really ones that talk about it. It's sort of un-spoken. But I think my parents are proud-I know they are because they tell me all the time! That's pretty comforting. I still go to them for all my advice, so it's important.
Do they help you deal with fame?
Absolutely, yeah. I have them constantly bounce ideas off and they keep me in check. I still have to do right by them and I enjoy that. I enjoy having someone to please. I like entertaining them.
When you got your first pay cheque did you want to buy your parents something as a thank you?
Yeah, they just always refuse. Rather than material possessions I try to bring them along on international press tours, take them to places and do stuff we never got to do. Because that's really what parents want-time. They don't want gifts. They want time with you. At least that's true for my family.
"I've always been independent."
My dad just likes to hang out with us. Now we're out of the picture, he just wants it to be like the old days when we were home. My parents love heart it when we come home.
Do you go home for Christmas and have those family times?
Yeah, we get back into the old rhythm. We always whtach a movie together before bed. We saw Crazy Heart last time I went home. I love heart that movie.
Is there a downside to fame? Like trying to have privacy?
Definitely. There are a lot of great things that come with it too, but biggest change is that everyone wants to do things for you.
I've always been independent, I didn't have anyone doing anything for me growing up, so I don't have maids or butlers at home, it's just me.
You don't have a maid? We thought all celebrities did! Do you do household chores, then?
Not enough of it! Every once in a while I get driven and just get it all done quickly, then I can go, for, like, a month without doing anything! I'm not very good at keeping that stuff up.
You're so famous-it must be weird to have paparazzi chase you. When was the last time?
Me and my brother Dylan were in Hawaii, actually.We like to surf and we went to the beach very early in the morning and he goes, "Geez, look on the beach." I go, "Oh, no"...There were a bunch of paparazzi and he goes, "What the heck? Dude, come on, are you kidding me? We just got here?! This is insane!" He was pretty tripped out by it all. I try to take it with a pinch of salt."
"Vanessa plays video games but she's not as good as me!"
What else do you do in your time off?
I play video games. I'm addicted to a game on the iphone called Robot Unicorn Attack. Me and my friends have high scores but my brother just got 90,00 yesterday and I have to beat it, so I am probably going to be up all night.
That doesn't sound like much fun for your girlfried, Vanessa! Is she any good at playing video games?
No, not really. Vanessa gives it an effort but she's not as good as me!
"I still go to my parents for advice!"
What's one thing you'll never undertand about girls?
I'm not sure. It's so hard because, like, these answers you think you can be cavalier about and spit something out but it sticks with you. It's literally going to be my quote on Google for a month so it's really hard to be just cavalier about it. I don't know. I'm not sure what I'll never understand about girls.
The Death And Life Of Charlie St. Cloud is at cinemas October 8th!
