Zac Efron is a movie star, a triple threat, a cultural phenomenon, and my latest obsession. The funny thing is, I don’t even entirely know why.
That’s been the main question people have asked me, upon finding out that I was watching my way through the entire Zefron filmography: Why? He may be famous, but he’s no Tom Hanks or Cary Grant; he’s not exactly renowned for his acting chops, but rather, for the High School Musical movies that launched him into stardom decades ago. Prior to this deep dive, I myself mostly knew him for his leading role in the comedy 17 Again, which – although I adore it – most people would not define as highbrow cinema.
