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.

Zac Efron is developing his career post High School Musical through a careful choice of roles, including his latest in Charlie St. Cloud.

THE one question Zac Efron gets asked more than any other is whether he feels as though he needs to prove himself.

“As a result of getting involved at a young age, that’s sort of what the game has become now,” says the newly hirsute actor, in Australia to promote his romantic drama Charlie St. Cloud.

Efron was hardly surprised, then, when his decision to sport a beard for the red-carpet premiere was interpreted by the world’s media as some kind of statement.

“When it’s just, in fact, facial hair,” he says.

But since the former High School Musical star has his sights set on making the difficult transition to credible dramatic actor, he is determined to weather such personal indignities with as much aplomb as he can muster.
