Zac Efron, the lucky bastard who got to get up close and personal with David Beckham at this week’s ESPY Awards here in LA, has already made his way across the country to NYC. Zac surfaced at JFK airport with hoodie in place and skateboard in hand:

You know, I’d like to believe that Zac Efron so loves the sport of skateboarding that he cannot stand to be parted from his beloved wheels for even a moment but I can’t help but think that his whole image is so carefully orchestrated. Something about this lad and his trusty skateboard just screams High School Musical 3, Coming Soon. I dunno … maybe I’m off base but the carefree teen boy lookin’ as casual as can be feels a bit disingenuous. I’m surprised he doesn’t have a slingshot sticking out of his back pocket. I think he should go back to just showing off his new muscley arms instead of playing up this boyish charm thing. At least that way, we’d all get something out of it.
