Zac Efron: Claire is so beautiful
Friday November 20 2009
High School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron has announced he finds Claire Danes "beautiful".
Zac stars alongside Claire in his latest film Me And Orson Welles, but admitted he was nervous to play opposite her because he is such a fan.
Zac, 22, told GMTV: "Claire was amazing, I was really nervous to play opposite her."
He continued: "I've seen so many of her movies - she's so beautiful, I didn't want to disappoint. I didn't want her to be like, 'Who is this kid?'"
Claire, 30, was the star of hit teen drama My So Called Life but hit Hollywood in style with when she played the titular role in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo And Juliet.
But Zac has an army of admirers of his own, wherever he goes in the world, thanks to his work in the popular High School Musical series.
And he reassured fans they may still see him in another musical, despite turning down the lead part in the Footloose remake.
He said: "I'm sure that I'll get back there eventually - I can't wait to in fact! But at the moment there are just other things that are more interesting and some new skills to acquire I think."
