1:04 “Hey Vanessa’s right there” MY 9 YR OLD SELF IS CRYING

[KarenAg]

People don’t value Zac; he acts, sings, dances, he can do action, romance, musicals, suspense, HE CAN DO EVERYTHING. They just underestimate him because of the musicals, people forgets that even Hugh Jackman started in musicals.

Im so happy he finally wanted to talk about HSM and was ok with it. He was having that miley cyrus-hannah montana hate phase and it made me so sad tho

[icantthinkrn]

It's nice that Zac and Vanessa are finally comfortable mentioning each other's names in interviews.

THE ICONIC MOMENT “HEY VANESSA IS RIGHT THERE” 🥺🥺

[lydiax]

imagine having a childhood without High School Musical... I can't

[SuperCommenterGuy]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, that’s a damn good interviewer.

[kaenyogan]

Am I the only one who still watches high school musical like on a regular 😂🤦‍♀️

[renabonita]

when zac said, "hey vanessa is right there."
my heart melted

[ashleyd.]

I’m 25, and honestly HSM was my entire life as a young teen. Changed everything for me. So glad we had something so great and the role models to look up to. Disney was the best back then, nothing like it is now.

"They were the beginning of your career" I guess you could say it was the start of something new🤷🏻‍♀️

[eminemfan]

anyone else completely shook when he mentioned vanessa

[paigemckinnie]

Zac Efron is just the right amount of awkward and I love it. He seems so down to earth and like a genuine guy.

[phebe]

him acknowledging vanessa is making my 10 year old self so happy!!

[AnnaSoll]

I can't believe Zac Efron finally talked about High School Musical

[ninacastoreno]

imagine making 17 again where zac efron is Mathew Perry’s character and they get Joshua basset ( from hsmtmts) as his son. I would die <3

[robynjones]

Best interviewer! Everyone seems so comfortable with him

[vitaemins]

“Unfortunately, im not ashamed of those movies. I love those movies.” LMAOO 😂

[angelinaoliver]

To this day I still watch High School Musical and I'm 24😭😭😭😭
