Zac Efron Makes Surprise High School Musical CONFESSION at Walk of Fame Ceremony

Zac Efron looks back on his Wildcat days, admitting that he sings 'High School Musical' songs in the shower at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. The actor praises longtime friend Miles Teller, along with his co-star in 'The Iron Claw,' Jeremy Allen White, who were both on hand with tributes, as he receives his star on Hollywood Blvd. Zac also remembers the late Matthew Perry, reflecting on the time they spent together while filming '17 Again.'

[@gleekergirl]

I love how he speaks upon HSM. It’s quite endearing when a child star acknowledges their start to fame even if it wasn’t, exactly what they imagined. Zac deserves this!

[@auspicious93]

He wasn’t exactly a child when HSM came out. He was 18.

[@anoukbrons]

@@auspicious93adult by law doesn’t mean someone is an adult in mind. In fact, your mind develops itself until your 25th or something. So yeah, by law he was an adult, but, understandably, he didn’t feel like being one at that time.

[@TheRafark]

He used to ignored and hate everything related to HSM (he didn’t go to the reunion). This sudden love for hsm is just very recent

[@anoukbrons]

@@TheRafark thats not true. He didn’t go to the reunion because Austin didn’t want Vanessa to go to it if Zac would be there, so Zac didn’t go so that Vanessa could. Otherwise he would’ve been there. And I don’t think he ever hated HSM, I think he hated that for a very long time everyone saw him as Troy and nothing else; he wanted to be known of more things than just HSM and now he is.

[@jaleelcmb]

@@anoukbronsexplained that so well

[@catherinerooks9964]

i loooove how he mentioned Matthew Perry. Made me start crying. And that he mentioned his roots with HSM......Omg Troy Bolton will always be my favorite high school crush.

Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat! ❤

[@user-og1ku4rz1g]

Love his acting literally can watch 17 again over and over . R.I.P Matthew Perry

[@sorryimsosad]

Ah early 2000s when people could look nothing alike but people would still suspend disbelief

[@rtjlupolove66]

I love 17 again I watch it all the time even got the men in my family to watch it and Charlie St Cloud they loved both movies!!

[@nurseaylla]

He’s such a cool humble guy, congrats Zac, you deserve it 🎉🎊

[@cristinaapariciolinale2119]

He’s actually not, he’s an entitled brat who can’t sing and wants to disabow himself from HSM when he’d be nothing without it!

[@rachelanncauilan]

Always been a fan of Zac’s humility and class. From HSM to Matthew Perry to The Iron Claw, he deserves all the recognition for the way he carries himself through and through 👏👏

[@Milena-xz7rz]

I couldn't be more proud of this man❤️ My number one since 2006😭🥰

[@user-yg4hd3ro1v]

He has always led by example & been true to Himself! In His youth He was a great young Man, for other young people to look up to! It's good to see Him Honored! May God keep His journey moving forward & keep His Zest with life, also His art, What He has shared & what He now shares with the World, is a gift to all!

[@retiredcowboy]

I met him as Troy Bolton so seeing him achieve this really warms me up! Go ahead Zac!!!

[@abichau5392]

Never forget your roots and where you started from, that's how you will succeed at the end. Zac was grateful and humbled, well deserved!

[@swisscheeseplease97]

Nice, humble speech, Zac. Can’t wait to see Iron Claw 🤼‍♂️

[@Jboy1997]

Zac Efron was 100% the reason I knew I liked men! It’s crazy seeing him get the recognition he so rightfully deserves! 💕

[@kvpilots]

So great. HSM has been my favorite movies ever for years

[@thegoodreylo4749]

One of the greatest trilogies of all time!!

Thank you for mentioning Matthew, he'd be grateful😢❤❤❤❤

[@javierasalgadoreyes]

He probably would have been there if he was still here but he was probably in spirit

[@kamilaojuri4409]

I knew he'd still remember Kenny Ortega and High School Musical, but I can't believe he still remembers working with Matthew Perry in 17 Again. If he misses him enough to mention him in his speech, he truly is the sweetheart I thought he is,if not more. ❤😚😍🧡😇😎🤩💛

I’ve not seen much of his work but I dig his vibe. He has an aura about him and he’s humble when he needs to be. Congrats to him. He was actually my favourite character in baywatch.

"east high is a place where teachers encourageed us to break the status quo and defin ourselves as we choose. Where a jock can cook up a mean creme brulee, and the brainiac can break down on the dance floor, its a place where one person, if its the right person, changes us all. East high is having friends that we will keep for the rest of our lives, and i guess that meas we really are all in this together, cuz once a wilcat, always a wildcat" "What team? Wildcats! What team? Wildcats! What team? Wildcat! Wildcats get your head in the game!!" "You know, I'm not the only one that changed when you came to East High, kids that I just used to pass in the hallway, we're friends now, and we're supposed to be doing this show together. The problem is East High changed when you got there and now it's changed again because you left. You might be ready to say good bye to East High, but East High is not ready to say good bye to you" "It's our last chance to share the stage before we go our seperate ways. High school wasn't meant to last forever. It's our last chance for us to shine, to bring you music one more time" "The way we play tonight is what we leave behind. It all comes down to right now it's up to us. So what are we gonna be? T-E-A-M Team! Gotta work it out turn in on!" "This is the last time to get it right. This is the last chance to make it all night. We gotta show what we're all about, work together. This is the last chance to make our mark. History will know who we are. This is the last game so make it count. It's now or never" "We've dug ourselves a hole, and the only way out is on each other's shoulders. No more X's and O's. Forget the scoreboard. Here's the number that means something... Sixteen minutes left in the game... the season... and for the seniors on this squad... sixteen minutes left in a Wildcats uniform"

​​@@AvocadoSpicegirl November 2013, Efron had to have his jaw wired shut after breaking it in a fall at home. He revealed in 2022 that he almost died during this incident, and that it was responsible for his facial swelling, apparent in a viral 2021 video for Bill Nye's Earth Day Musical.
