Seven Things You May Not Have Known About… Zac Efron

There are so many things that we encounter on an almost daily basis that we never stop to think about some of the more interesting facts about them. From our favourite movies to food and makeup, we will attempt to bring you some random information that you will most definitely be able to use as a future party trick. Given that he keeps popping up shirtless here, there and everywhere, we thought we would take a look at Zac Efron this week. 1. His most prized possession is his signed baseball collection. There were even rumours that Charlie Sheen had given him a baseball worth $2.5 million after Zac was incredibly impressed with it at a party. 2. Zac's dream job is... building and testing video games. Doesn't matter that he's an actor nearly at the top of his game, Zac would much rather be at home chilling out with his videogames. 3. He was taught to ride a motorbike by... Tom Cruise. Apparently the story goes that Tom met Zac at a party and, as you do, taught him how to ride a motorcycle. 4. He turned down a record deal from Simon Cowell. Zac was offered a recording contract by none other that Simon Cowell but turned it down, claiming that acting was far more important to him. 5. Zac was punk*d by Hayden Panettiere and it was hilarious. Poor Zac. 6. His first crush was... Tyra Banks. "She was the first poster I had on my wall. It was the famous purple bathing suit shot." 7. In his spare time, he fixes up cars. He's a really manly man. One of the cars he fixed up was a DeLorean! "Growing up, my favourite thing to do was to climb into the car and play Back To the Future. I would pretend I was Marty McFly." Manly man.
