Zac Efron is pretty popular in my house. Both of my kids adore him. My son can even do the routine Bet On It with Zac move by move. He also makes my daughter scream. And I like him because when I put on High School Musical I know I can get some peace and quiet. I guess he’s a god around here then!

Zac is in this weeks issue of Entertainment Weekly looking pretty adorable. Here are some highlights of the interview in the magazine…

On picking Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio’s brains: ”I would love to just sit down and talk with Leonardo DiCaprio and “Johnny Depp and pick their brains about their early careers,” Efron says, citing two recent actors who have made the leap from poster boys to Oscar contenders. ”They do it because they love it, not because they enjoy being famous. You have to have good foresight and be really careful. If you don’t adapt and learn at a very young age, you can really mess up.”

On taking a year off: ”I didn’t want to do what everyone else did,” says Efron. ”I thought to myself, ‘What can I contribute to the music industry?’ I can’t say that I would be proud of the work I would put down.”

On having his girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, in the movies with him: ”After three movies together, Vanessa and I feel free to do whatever we want, and we’re just kind of silly and uninhibited,” he says. ”It felt like the best working vacation I’ve ever taken.”
