Zac Efron and his fabulous hair are featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Nylon Guys magazine. In his coverstory interview, Zac talks about his film Me and Orson Welles (which is due out in November), music, his past as a Disney star and other scintillating topics. Here is Zac‘s Nylon Guys coverphoto and some excerpts from his interview:
Is Zac Efron the next king of the silver screen? It may be too soon to tell, but the actor—who turns 22 next Sunday—is certainly making good start. This month sees the release of the Richard Linklater-directed Me and Orson Welles, in which Efron plays an aspiring thespian who by a series of fortunate events is thrown into the iconic director’s infamous production of Julius Caesar, which was the first Shakespeare play ever staged on Broadway. NYLON Guys went sailing with Efron in Vancouver to talk about his transition from Disney pin-up to serious actor.
On Me and Orson Welles: “It’s the first time I’ve ever watched a movie [that I’m in] and in the end I’m like, ‘OK! I didn’t check my watch once!’”
On growing up musically inclined: “I was constantly singing. I would hear things on the radio and just be able to spit them out instantly, with perfect memorization and tone. It wasn’t like I took pride in it; there was no effort. My parents were like ‘Shut up. Please stop singing. It’s annoying.’”
On whether celebrity albums are necessary: “If anyone asked themselves that, then we wouldn’t have the crap we are listening to today. If your heart’s not in it, don’t do it. And don’t do it for money. That’s my philosophy.”
On Disney fame: “I try not to look at all of it. You can’t enjoy or celebrate it; it’s not a real thing. The face on the lunchbox and shit—you can’t share that with your friends.”
We know that Efron has been hard at work in Vancouver filming his next movie Charlie St. Cloud but I’ve been hearing good buzz about his Orson Welles film due out next month. I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to see Zac Efron as a serious actor but … he sure does have pretty hair. After the jump, check out the photos from Zac‘s Nylon Guys photospread …
Yes … let’s hope for the sake of Zac Efron‘s career he never starts losing his hair. Make sure you pick up this issue of Nylon Guys to read the full text of his coverstory interview … or, you know, to have more photos to tape up onto your walls ;)

FYI – the quotes NYLON released were totally taken out of context. One example from the full interview:
“[Put your mind to it and you can achieve anything,] that’s what High School Musical is about. And man, you should see the faces on the kids. It’s priceless, and I don’t look down on, or think badly about, those films. I have no regrets at all. I’m extremely proud of those movies, and will be forever.”

A minor point, but Welles’ Julius Caesar was not the first Shakespeare play ever staged on Broadway.There were many, many Shakespeare plays on Broadway for nearly 40 years before Julius Caesar (1937), most notable John Barrymore’s (Drew’s grandfather) Hamlet in 1922, fiftheen years before Welles’s Caesar.
Zac you are just freaking adorable. I think I may be in love with you.
