Added 30 new high quality candid photos of Zac Efron outside a salon in Beverly Hills on September 27th.

Teen star Zac Efron has said that he never gets used to the crowd making mayhem to see him, but at the same time he thank fans for being there. Efron’s appearance in Australia last week required a huge police presence, street closures, public barricades and an army of publicists (from Australia and the US) – all because of the legion of screaming fans eager to see the blue-eyed film idol in the flesh.

“Inevitably, when you walk out there, just the volume of it and… the hysteria that kind of goes on, it gets me every time,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted him as saying.

“I don’t really know how to handle it; it’s weird that you incite that kind of reaction. Every time, it’s like, Is this me? Is it really me that’s causing this? You never quite feel worthy of that.”

“But at the same time, you can’t withdraw, because I want to be there for them. I am very grateful that they’re there and they do care,” he said.

Efron rose to popularity after the phenomenal success of the ‘High School Musical’ franchise and breakout films such as ‘Hairspray’ and ‘17 Again.’

Zac Efron has described “Death & Life Of Charlie St. Cloud” as more real than his previous films. Speaking to Premiere, the “High School Musical” star said that he is not concerned about alienating his younger fans with his new role.

“It’s a bit more real than before, we’re no longer in a heightened reality. These things do happen!” Efron said, referring to his character’s drinking and relationship with Amanda Crew’s yachtswoman Tess Carroll.

He continued: “I think [fans] are old enough now, at least the ones who’ll come see this movie, hopefully they’ll understand that and won’t be too taken aback by it. It’s quite soft.”

Commenting on the movie’s central love story, Efron said: “It’s real, it’s true love.”

“Death & Life Of Charlie St. Cloud” opens in the UK on October 8.

Zac Efron loves filming sex scenes! The actor – who’s currently dating his “High School Musical” costar Vanessa Hudgens – enjoys getting down and dirty with his cast mates.

“I really enjoy them,” he said. “It’s not hard and by then you inevitably have a good relationship with the actress that you’re working with. That was the case with Amanda Crew in ‘Charlie St Cloud.’ It was pleasurable for me.”

Efron recently joked that people have lost their jobs because of his recent haircut.

“It used to keep getting in my eyes,” he said of his old hair. “It was a serious hazard. Now when I’m working on a movie, it take a lot less to look after it. There’s a couple of people we don’t have to hire just to keep my hair out of my face.”

Baby-faced heart-throb Zac Efron has shed his teen spirit for a far more mature, career-focused edge.

IT WAS the hardest phone call of his life. Buoyed by the global success of the Disney High School Musical phenomenon, Zac Efron was poised for an easy kill. All he had to do was say “yes” to the remake of Footloose. It would net him a lazy $10 million, be a sure-fire hit and establish him as a stand-alone marquee name. It was a no-brainer.

And everybody expected him to do it, especially his HSM director Kenny Ortega, who was set to helm the film. But Efron wanted to run his own race, be his own man. He’d already signalled as much with his self-spoofing appearances on Saturday Night Live, Robot Chicken and Entourage. So, mid-2009, he called Ortega and said what nobody wanted to hear.

“It was a very hard decision,” Efron recalls. “It was one of the first times I’ve ever, in my life, just . . .” He trails off, then pauses. Efron, 22, is here promoting his new film, the quality weepie Charlie St Cloud. But right now, lightly bearded and shifting uncomfortably in a Sydney hotel room chair, his head is inside the moment.
