@@randomeditss257 For some reason I still put the films you referenced under new Disney😩😂. Disney from 2010 onwards is very different from older Disney like Get A Clue, HSM, The Cheetah Girls, Hocus Pocus, Lizzie McGuire movie etc. I actually enjoyed Lemonade Mouth though, even though I feel like I had outgrown the new era of Disney by that time😅💀💖
YYYESS!!! Same!!!! Lol. This whole video is making my 8 year old self sssooo excited!!! Lol and I’ve been listening to the songs again a lot lately and really wanna watch the movies again!!!
People don’t value Zac; he acts, sings, dances, he can do action, romance, musicals, suspense, HE CAN DO EVERYTHING. They just underestimate him because of the musicals, people forgets that even Hugh Jackman started in musicals.
He's pretty good. However, I recommend you watch this interviewer: ruclips.net/video/0MUe3FmDMLU/видео.html&lc=z225et0ptyvfsdinsacdp432mdn3qmyvgwzmfmvnaelw03c010c.1556893024347556
He wanted to get away from his High School Musical past to advance his career instead of playing the same characters over and over again. I don't know what changed his spirit though. Maybe High School Musical gives him bad memories filled with regret.
Sol Montiel Moreno same... like it made me so mad that time he didn’t come to the 10 year class reunion....I hate when actors, and anyone for that matter, forgets where they come from. Like those movies means so much to so many people that he shouldn’t be ashamed of that. Everyone doesn’t get the opportunity to be apart of a cultural phenomenon.
sorry but he has never been ashamed of HSM haha people always put words into the others mouth...but yeh he has repeated several times that he has never been ashamed of hated it :)
@@ikexbankai He was like right in the middle of filming a movie during the reunion and I think it was in a different country if I'm not mistaken, so it wouldn't have made sense to go scheduling wise and practicality wise
All ex-Disney child stars went through that phase for a while... It's because Disney monitored and censored them so much from a young age that once they got out of it, they wanted to distance themselves from the brand as much as possible or else people would forever remember them as what Disney wanted them to be portrayed as - as kids. The Jonas Brothers recently mentioned the censorship by Disney during their Carpool Karaoke interview! Either Miley or Selena, not sure which one it was, also mentioned that there was never a real rift between them after they left Disney, just that they both tried so hard to distance themselves from the sugarcoated brand at the same time. By now most child/teen stars from Disney have become their own brand though, so it's good to see them recall their earlier days without any discomfort :)
@@valeriatuesta7624 Ikr...He didn't go to the high school reunion now he hates hsm. Like sorry "he was to busy filming a movie". People really needs to get over that.
@@patdornoff9383 they're not friends, they haven't talked since their breakup like 9 years ago (according to Vanessa). You can't be friends with someone you haven't talked to in 9 years and the last time you talked it was because y'all broke up.
I love this interviewer. He knows how to do his research, he is genuinely interested in the actors’ works, he asks good questions, and he is very charming, funny, and relatable.
I love that he says he's not ashamed of high school musical. It's so 100% my favourite musical. Love it. It filled me childhood, my sleepovers were filled with hsm songs and learning the dance moves. Knew the film's words by heart. Love it. Not gonna lie, still number one on the Disney playlist is hsm! 🙌🥰🥰
I'm so glad Zac is in the place where he's comfortable talking about HSM again. When he used to say in interviews that he didn't remember anything about them, I always used to feel almost hurt. HSM was my childhood. Also, he is looking absolutely amazing and seems really comfortable in this interview. I can't wait to see what's next for Mr Efron
@@aimeeparkhouse7037 it's because he dated vanessa hudgens for so many years. They both didnt talk about hsm for awhile. Vanessa started talking about hsm awhile ago but zac just started. The memories with vanessa hurt him too much.
Futhermore he was growing like actor or looking opportunities and it was necesary to stop talking about his iconic role and his brand keep growing or known something like that. I fell in love with him xddd
Angelina Oliver I’m 12 but I seen HSM in Disney a lot of times and I love it I can’t understand my generation because only likes new shows and movies and they don’t know of the existence of HSM
HSM came out when I was 21 and a senior in COLLEGE and watched it on the regular back then. Now with Disney Plus, I'm watching all 3 movies on the regular and I'm 35 with 3 kids. No Shame. I'm all for Zac. He made those movies everything for me!
It's nice to hear him talk so fondly of High School Musical. Everyone tries to paint this image that he's ashamed of them and would rather not talk about them, but he knows they were his big break and it's clear he's actually proud of them and happy to look back on the memories. That's the Zac we know. ❤️
As a millennial who watched HSM movies in middle/high school - His dancing WAS good. He has an innate way of moving that looks natural, masculine, committed and cool. Zac really is talented.
When you think about it Vanessa was probably Zac’s first love or at least first long term relationship so ofc there’s a lot of fond memories there and pain too which is why it’s taken him so long to mention her. It’s quite sweet and raw 🥹
He’s such a good actor in that one. The moment he’s talking to his crying daughter about boys on the steps and in the courtroom - I really clocked that he was a really good actor.
I'm so happy he's FINALLY okay with talking about high school musical, knowing he kinda used to hate it in the past 🤧💕 i loved this, the interviewer was great
Valentina C. M. Probably because he got tired of everyone asking him about it. I mean I know it’s a role he will always be best known for but even he said he got tired of the songs and wanted to break away from it a bit. Plus him being older I think he appreciates it more now.
It's so heartwarming to watch Zac Efron mature from a chocolate boy to a charming man! My teenage heart is so happy. ❤️ P.S - It is amazing that Zac is proud of the High School Musical series.
@@uscman I think few actors should not be ashamed of their past films. Like Kenny Loggins (for Footloose) or John Travolta (for Grease and Saturday Night Fever).
@@debolinabanerjee820 I say that cuz I heard he said something that with those films, he wished "he'd hit that guy, Zac Efron in those films, in the back of his head."
i watching HSM at my 18 years old..now I'm 35 and has a niece..i play every single moment song from HSM to my niece and now he was totally crazy with Zac Efron..he just 1 years old😊
i have this one friend who has an extreme hatred towards all disney original movies and refuses to watch any with our friend group, it's horrible. if anyone has any tips for how to get her to watch one.... ;-;
@@a.hamilton2872 Stop pushing? I know I'd also only dig in my heels if I were in a similar situation. Maybe ask _why._ Without an immediate counterargument.
The fact that he mentioned Vanessa makes me tear up And him talking about High School music just makes me wanna rewatch them for the millionth time. #90sBaby
I just finished a HSM marathon and came to RUclips to find this surprising interview!! Zac hated talking about HSM or even mentioning Vanessa, so seeing him speak so comfortable and saying the fans get it, made me scream from happiness! Also when he recalls how much fun he had pointing at the picture where Vanessa hugs him in HSM 1 made me cry!! They’re the cutest! The teen inside of me wants a reunion next 💖
My favorite movies are for sure 1. High school musical no doubt about that 2. 17 again so good! 3. Greatest showmen fantastic Zac Enron has made a huge impacted in so many people’s lives it’s amazing! Thank you Zac Efron for all you do! God bless everyone, sending love your way everyone!
He's definitely grown mature over those years and look how far he’s come from all those movies he’s done. I’m so proud of this guy. Fame hasn’t change a thing for him. Still that awkward, shy and humble dude. He doesn’t deserve the hate which I don’t get why sometimes. He deserves all the love and being more appreciated.
I have been training to be a musical actress for 6 years already, and high school musical was one of the first musicals that I've ever watched. These 3 movies are all masterpieces, and are classics.
Jovany Marquez Watch 17 again bro he’s looks bare tall and skinny but I think he’s more bulky now so looks short but in my opinion he looks good when he was skinny ngl
IIx-SAQY-xII He’s always been short are you aware that camera angles and other tricks are easy for professionals if they wanted to make someone look taller look at Tom cruise
I don't think it's recognized as one of the ones that made him a household name. Sad seeing as it was like his first sorta jump into more dramatic and meaningful work.
i just finished having a HSM marathon today and ugh i forgot just how iconic those movies were and just how nostalgic watching them back would be... i miss HSM era so much it was such a golden time
They're literally the same, both ashamed. Zac is cringing throughout the video, it isnt until hes talking about 17 again when the conversation gets comfortable.
@@ZombiesEatShrooms2 I would imagine it's like looking at old school pictures. I think that most of us would cringe at old videos of ourselves; for him, it just happens to be movies.
Can you blame them? Outside of their fandoms, these guys got _heavily_ ridiculed for these movies (Twilight & High School Musical) where trying to break it as an actor in more serious roless is near impossible because people (outside the fandom) won't take them seriously. Happened to other teenage heartthrobs too, i.e. Leonardo DiCaprio distanced himself from Titanic.
Nahh, he rated right. I'm a zac fan, but whoever said that Zac Efron is a character actor and not a leading man was correct. None of his movies where he was the lead were successful.
TwistedPencils 17 again and greatest showman? What about those movies? Sure he wasn’t the main character in greatest showman but he was one of them. That movie was super successful.
Im a 29 year old man and i still tell people to this day that High School Musical was the shit. It was cheesy sure, but as a teenage dude at the time that movie was like that movie you love but dont want anyone you know to know you like it.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I hope they get together and marryyyyy! My dream 😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Completely melted when he mentioned Vanessa ❤❤❤. Such a cute reaction 😭😭😭
Whenever he speaks about high school musical my heart can’t handle it
When you think about it Vanessa was probably Zac’s first love or at least first long term relationship so ofc there’s a lot of fond memories there and pain too which is why it’s taken him so long to mention her. It’s quite sweet and raw 🥹
“All the fans from high school musical lots of love because they get it”
Because we’re all
Older now ;D
I was in junior high at the time I was 11 or 12 at the time. Those were great times. I love HSM.
aww Zac is too precious... he has too many encounters of fans who are ashamed of being fans of him from HSM
this is my fav interview of zac. the interviewer relaxes him and its just chill nothing forced
Thanks for your love and support indeed you are a true fan of my movies. You can write me on #ezac15378@gmail.com#
Zac: I dunno how to dance
Me: Hey batter batter hey batter batter swing!
Meh i got to just do my thang
Hey batter batter hey batter batter swing.
yEaHah
that was chad
That made me laugh can’t lie
I don’t dance .I know you can
The fact that Zac doesn’t play basketball and has those handles in 17 Again is just incredible to me I don’t know why
Zac is just such a talented person. Not just an actor, but as an all around performer.
4:11 17 Again is definitely one of my favorite movies Zac Efron was in, such an incredible movie
Same
He’s such a good actor in that one. The moment he’s talking to his crying daughter about boys on the steps and in the courtroom - I really clocked that he was a really good actor.
@@whizzkidkis Yessss definitely agree
+ Matthew Perry 🥵
Leonie Jobin Also love major love for Mr Bing
I'm so happy he's FINALLY okay with talking about high school musical, knowing he kinda used to hate it in the past 🤧💕 i loved this, the interviewer was great
Valentina C. M. Probably because he got tired of everyone asking him about it. I mean I know it’s a role he will always be best known for but even he said he got tired of the songs and wanted to break away from it a bit. Plus him being older I think he appreciates it more now.
Zac: oh vanessa’s right here
me as interviewer: can u please date her again?
Flint Rider that’s why I couldn’t interview humans
omg yesss haha
That’s why I will never be able to be a interviewer. I would say that exact thing.
Yesss same 😂😂😂
@@karolin7577 same hahaha
It's so heartwarming to watch Zac Efron mature from a chocolate boy to a charming man! My teenage heart is so happy. ❤️
P.S - It is amazing that Zac is proud of the High School Musical series.
Same. I thought he looked back those films like how Harrison Ford looks back at his Star Wars films.
@@uscman I think few actors should not be ashamed of their past films. Like Kenny Loggins (for Footloose) or John Travolta (for Grease and Saturday Night Fever).
Chocolate boy?
@@jayngb Well, yes.
@@debolinabanerjee820 I say that cuz I heard he said something that with those films, he wished "he'd hit that guy, Zac Efron in those films, in the back of his head."
Can't believe it's been over a decade since HSM
Ikr
Sonia Nghilunanye IKR I feel so old 😭
Ikr ... can’t believe I’ve been stanning this boy to man for almost a decade too
I'm so old....
i watching HSM at my 18 years old..now I'm 35 and has a niece..i play every single moment song from HSM to my niece and now he was totally crazy with Zac Efron..he just 1 years old😊
I still break out into the “We’re all in this together dance” at least once a week.
Mooooooooooooood
Noticed he kept looking back at the picture of zanessa? 🤭 what an era that was.
stop
ducky no
a great era indeed
No. Stop it.
Your username tho ...
Who doesn’t like High School Musical tho? Like I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t like those movies. They are an American specialty.
I've never seen them and accidentally clicked this and know am so confused
i have this one friend who has an extreme hatred towards all disney original movies and refuses to watch any with our friend group, it's horrible. if anyone has any tips for how to get her to watch one.... ;-;
My mom hates it cause she hates movies with lots of singing and as kids we would watch it Non stop
I've seen the first one once and that was enough for me 🤷
@@a.hamilton2872 Stop pushing? I know I'd also only dig in my heels if I were in a similar situation. Maybe ask _why._ Without an immediate counterargument.
The fact that he mentioned Vanessa makes me tear up And him talking about High School music just makes me wanna rewatch them for the millionth time.
#90sBaby
Zac: ‘Hey Vanessa’s right there’
Me: *WEEPINGGGG*
Ali Plumb is such a phenomenal interviewer. Never seen a celeb not feel very at ease with him. He deserves all the money
Ali Plumb is the best interviewer out there
You can feel these are questions he wants to actually ask and people want to hear. The result is a compelling interviews consistently.
Going back here in 2024, still mourning for Zac’s old face.
He looked so good 😅
Yeah he almost looks like a different person now :’(
I just finished a HSM marathon and came to RUclips to find this surprising interview!! Zac hated talking about HSM or even mentioning Vanessa, so seeing him speak so comfortable and saying the fans get it, made me scream from happiness! Also when he recalls how much fun he had pointing at the picture where Vanessa hugs him in HSM 1 made me cry!! They’re the cutest! The teen inside of me wants a reunion next 💖
Thanks, that's a wonderful thought thanks for all of your supports ❤️ I am glad to have your feedback soon.🥰
I had a huge crush on him on HSM, then hairspray but 17 Agajn 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Grace Ochieng me too omg lol
Same too😊
Ooh yeah and Charlie St. Cloud
Same deff in 17 again for me
••Avakin _Dell•• jeah but 17 again was good
My favorite movies are for sure
1. High school musical no doubt about that
2. 17 again so good!
3. Greatest showmen fantastic
Zac Enron has made a huge impacted in so many people’s lives it’s amazing! Thank you Zac Efron for all you do!
God bless everyone, sending love your way everyone!
"HeY vAneSsA's rIghT tHeRe"
Ok boi I see u, I see u
He's definitely grown mature over those years and look how far he’s come from all those movies he’s done. I’m so proud of this guy. Fame hasn’t change a thing for him. Still that awkward, shy and humble dude. He doesn’t deserve the hate which I don’t get why sometimes. He deserves all the love and being more appreciated.
I have been training to be a musical actress for 6 years already, and high school musical was one of the first musicals that I've ever watched. These 3 movies are all masterpieces, and are classics.
Is it me or Zack Efron looks taller in high school musical and now in 2019 he looks short
IIx-SAQY-xII
He was always short he’s 5’8
Jovany Marquez Watch 17 again bro he’s looks bare tall and skinny but I think he’s more bulky now so looks short but in my opinion he looks good when he was skinny ngl
IIx-SAQY-xII
He’s always been short are you aware that camera angles and other tricks are easy for professionals if they wanted to make someone look taller look at Tom cruise
Jovany Marquez yeah your right 👌🏻
He looks shorter cz he’s buffer, made him look wider
Charlie St. Cloud was great. I wonder why didn't they mention it? 🤔
Gulnaz Muratshina I love that movie too!
I don't think it's recognized as one of the ones that made him a household name. Sad seeing as it was like his first sorta jump into more dramatic and meaningful work.
And The Paperboy!
And also "the lucky one"..
t definitely is not one of his best...
i just finished having a HSM marathon today and ugh i forgot just how iconic those movies were and just how nostalgic watching them back would be... i miss HSM era so much it was such a golden time
Fun fact: my teacher use to go to school with Zach Efron he use to show his acting tapes in class and my teacher has yearbook to prove
U need to show me the yearbook omggg
Show us pls!
Show me plzz
RUclipsr Wil Dasovich was neighbors and friends with Zac when they were kids to pre-HSM days
“Oh hey there’s Vanessa”
I’m crying rn remembering they broke up 😭😭😭😭😭
Holly C why did they break up anyways???
@@u__u7 Vanessa was jealous because Zac had so many fan girls, at least that's what I've heard
Malone Childress Seriously ?? 😮
@@johanaforever965yes! it's so sad!! They would most likely still be together if Zac didn't have as many fangirls
@@malonechildress6062 They just drifted apart.
"Hey, Vanessa's right there!" Omgie Zac, finally!! My childhood memories rekindling 😭
A trillion thanks and gratitude for supporting my career and music 😊 where are you watching from?
I LOVED him in Charlie St Cloud and Extremely Wicked. Dude can act!
Robert Pattinson should take notes from Zac Effron about how to appreciate what made you famous.
@Sarah Roudon That is the tea 🍵😂
They're literally the same, both ashamed. Zac is cringing throughout the video, it isnt until hes talking about 17 again when the conversation gets comfortable.
Carina Favela maybe, but he isn’t openly bashing it, he even has good things to say about it. So I definitely don’t think they are the same
@@ZombiesEatShrooms2 I would imagine it's like looking at old school pictures. I think that most of us would cringe at old videos of ourselves; for him, it just happens to be movies.
Can you blame them? Outside of their fandoms, these guys got _heavily_ ridiculed for these movies (Twilight & High School Musical) where trying to break it as an actor in more serious roless is near impossible because people (outside the fandom) won't take them seriously. Happened to other teenage heartthrobs too, i.e. Leonardo DiCaprio distanced himself from Titanic.
I love zac, he's such a genuinely good person. It's sad that fame can be so lonely tho.
Thanks, that's a wonderful thought thanks for all of your supports ❤️ I am glad to have your feedback soon.🥰 where are you watching from?
This interview was so pure, oh my goodness, I love
Most underrated actor of his time! So talented and agile. Very handsome as well!💖
kristy sickles in what world is he underrated? Lol what?
Nahh, he rated right. I'm a zac fan, but whoever said that Zac Efron is a character actor and not a leading man was correct. None of his movies where he was the lead were successful.
TwistedPencils okay but to say he’s underrated? I mean he is by far the most successful actor who was in HSM.
TwistedPencils 17 again and greatest showman? What about those movies? Sure he wasn’t the main character in greatest showman but he was one of them. That movie was super successful.
@@TwistedPencils he was the lead in hsm? It was all revolved around him and his basketball or singing dilemma
I’m 25 years old and still in love with high school musical.
Im a 29 year old man and i still tell people to this day that High School Musical was the shit. It was cheesy sure, but as a teenage dude at the time that movie was like that movie you love but dont want anyone you know to know you like it.
True. I’m only 12. I don’t like telling people I like either
