Zachary David Alexander Efron was born on October 18, 1987, and grew up in Arroyo Grande, California. His father, David Efron, is an electrical engineer at Diablo Canyon Power Plant, and his mother, Starla Baskett, is an administrative assistant who also works at Diablo Canyon.
While Zac Efron clearly enjoys his role as an uncle, he is not ready to be a dad. The 35-year-old has grown into more adult roles since he first rose to teen dream fame, and recently played the father of actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong in the film Firestarter.
Zachary David Alexander Efron was born October 18, 1987 in San Luis Obispo, California, to Starla Baskett, a secretary, and David Efron, an electrical engineer. He has a younger brother, Dylan. The surname "Efron", which is Hebrew and a Biblical place name, comes from Zac's Polish Jewish paternal grandfather.
It's been reported that Zac was romantically involved with Lily Collins, Halston Sage, Michelle Rodriguez, Sami Miró, Alexandra Daddario, Sarah Bro and more in the past.
In the first clip of the video, the “High School Musical” star was holding his 3-year-old sister Olivia's hands and proceeded to swing her around in circles in a yard.
Nope, Zac is currently single. During an interview with Men's Health in October 2022, the actor revealed that although he's taken some time away from the dating scene, he's optimistic about finding true love again.
Zac Efron, David Efron, and Dylan Efron. Starla and David are no longer together. In 2016, reports surfaced that they were divorcing, and David later went on to remarry.
Efron — who is an older brother to Dylan, Olivia and Henry — has recalled how his siblings and parents supported him throughout his career. “My family's my rock. I know that they're not going anywhere. More and more I rely on my little brother to keep me grounded,” he shared during a 2013 interview.
Thankfully, Zac is now in recovery and works hard to stay clean and sober. He said that he had to make changes to his life to stay that way, adding, “What I found is structure.
The “Neighbors” star turned 28 on Sunday and took to Instagram to honour his cousin Emily, who lost her battle with the disease two years ago. Posting a picture of the pair on a beach as kids, Efron wrote, “Happy birthday to my cousin and best friend, Emily, who passed away from cancer 2 years ago – she was 28 like me.
Zac Efron did not sing in the original High School Musical movie, with Drew Seeley providing the singing voice for Troy Bolton. While Efron's vocal range may have been a factor, he himself was not given an explanation for why his voice was not used.
For the A24 film, Efron transformed his hair to portray pro-wrestler Kevin Von Erich, son of famous professional wrestler Fritz Von Erich. “I know Zac Efron is supposed to play Kevin Von Erich but he looks like a little lad who likes berries and cream,” one person tweeted.
Efron revealed to The Hollywood Reporter in 2014 that he was no longer in contact with Hudgens. The former couple raised eyebrows in 2022 when they both shared photos from individual visits to High School Musical's East High.
Efron has been living in Australia throughout the coronavirus pandemic. He has a serious girlfriend there, Vanessa Valladares, and according to People, is home shopping. "As of now, he has no plans to live permanently in L.A. again," a source told the outlet at the end of January.
A few months later, they began publicly wearing matching silver rings on their right index fingers, which fans speculated could be promise rings. "This is just a ring from a friend I got," Efron insisted.
While Efron no longer follows a vegan diet, he admitted that he does have regrets about the lifestyle change, as “morally” he wishes he was able to be vegan. “Morally, of course, I still wish I was vegan,” he said.
ICYMI, Zac and Vanessa were once IRL Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez. The former couple dated from 2005 to 2010, after meeting on the set of Disney's High School Musical. Details of their split remained mostly hush-hush, but Vanessa told Shape in 2011 that distance took a toll on their relationship.
An Australian Instagram influencer known for dishing the dirt, Winnie Blues, shared some info this week... apparently Zac Efron is a great lover in bed. A woman anonymously confessed that the High School Musical actor is "the nicest guy" and all about pleasing his lady.
The move had many fans hoping the couple had begun dating, but all is not what it seems. A source has since cleared up the rumours, explaining Selena isn't even thinking of dating at the moment. Instagram Reveal Why Celebs Like Ariana Grande Just Lost Millions Of Followers.
