Young Hollywood actor Zac Efron
has humbly insisted that he is a far cry from being the heartthrob that the
public claims him to be. Efron found his fame and army of female fans with his
stint in Disney’s “High School Musical” films.
The young actor told the New York
Daily News that he really does not see himself as a sex symbol. Efron also
shared that his family and friends helped him in many ways in order to keep his
feet firmly on the ground. "They know exactly who I am and I'm far from a
heartthrob," said the 24-year-old Efron. "That word kind of follows
you around, but I don't know how exactly one earns it," he added.
Meanwhile, Efron also revealed
how he manages to keep his real and celebrity life apart. "You kind of put
life into two parts of your mind. There's the Hollywood section and then
there's real life. One of them is more of a show but it never overshadows real
life for me. As long as you can draw a comparison between the two, one of which
you know to be more important, you're good. For me, the choice is very easy.
One is where I work, one is where I live," the actor revealed to the New
York Daily News.
Despite his humility with these
given symbolic titles of being sexy and a heartthrob, Zac Efron is still gaining
recognition, mostly with female audiences, for his looks and acting abilities.
Efron was named second on the People’s 2011 Most Beautiful list. For this year,
Efron became busy with numerous projects, which includes his voice character as
Ted Wiggins in the animated film “The Lorax” and starring in the film
adaptation of Nicholas Spark’s novel “The Lucky One.” To make him even busier,
Efron has also filmed his role in the upcoming independent film “The Paperboy”
alongside Australian actress Nicole Kidman. With that, Zac Efron’s legion of female
fans will definitely be delighted to see more of the young heartthrob actor on
the big screen.
