What's a heartthrob to do?
First, let's get the rumors out of the way. Yes, there was talk of
Zac Efron taking over for
Harry Potter star
Daniel Radcliff in his (naked) role in the Broadway play
Equus, but
Efron insists to
Access Hollywood, “No, that’s a rumor. I wasn’t approached for it.”
There is, however, talk of him heading for London's West End for the lead in a
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat revival. Of course, maybe he'll change his mind on that when he recalls that the role over the years has been a nesting place for other teen idols...on their way down! (Remember Donny Osmond?)
And then, with his high school days behind him -- literally as well as on screen -- there is talk of the possiblity of heading off to college. “I was accepted to [the USC] film program," he told
Access. "But I deferred." He says he'll go "eventually…but not at this moment.”
