Zac Efron

    I am writing about Zac Efron. He was born in San Luis Obispo, California. Later on, he moved to Arroyo Grande, California. The film became a major commercial and critical success upon its release in July 2007. After lending his voice to the commercially successful computer-animated film The Lorax (2012), he appeared as the male lead in the romantic drama The Lucky One (2012), based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. The film became a major box office success despite negative reviews from critics. He also starred in the drama At Any Price, which premiered at the 2012 Venice International Film Festival, and the historical drama Parkland, which premiered at the 2013 Venice International Film Festival. Both of the films received mixed reviews from critics. Efron was the Forbes Celebrity 100 list in 2008 at number 92, with estimated earnings of $5.8 million from June 2007 to June 2008. In April 2009, his personal wealth equaled about $10million. In May 2015, Efron's net worth was $18 million. Efron and his brother Dyan as they participate in outdoor activities and trips without electronic devices - with the exception of a video camera in order to document their experiences.


      At 11, a piano teacher recognized Efron's burgeoning talent and persuaded him to pursue theatrical roles at the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts. He went on to star in a remake of Hairspray and voice the main character in The Lorax. He is currently dating actress Halston Sage and the two are in a serious relationship and in love. They both spent the holidays together in Santa Barbara and the romance has continued into the new year. Zac played fraternity president Teddy Sanders, while Halston played Brooke, his on-screen girlfriend. There were rumors in April of 2014 ahead of the film's release that Zac and Halston were dating. They reportedly split by June of that year. He attended Arroyo Grande High School and then attended the University of Southern California, but he swayed from his course to initiate a path in a film career. He then later attended the "Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts." Efron won many awards and nominations where he won the "Critics Choice Award' for the ' Hairspray and also won the 'MTV Movie Award' for the same role in the movie, which was considered his Best Breakthrough Performance. He started working in theatre production because of his father's influence when he was 11 years old, which resulted in him performing in "The GreatAmerican Melodrama" and "Vaudeville."
