Fame and celebrity

American actor Zac Efron has come a long way since his High School Musical days, but fans want to know – why didn't the vegan actor sing during the cast’s reunion?

Zac Efron started making hearts skip beats 14 years ago when Disney's High School Musical came out. Playing the singing jock Troy Bolton, Efron warmed our TV screens and made us sing along with him and his on-screen love interest, Vanessa Hudgens.

That launched Efron into stardom, as his acting (and vocal) range led him to bag roles in movies like Hairspray, Dirty Grandpa, The Greatest Showman, Baywatch, and his last film, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile where Efron played the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy.

As the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announces that he will receive a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame in 2021, we look at how he’s changed his image from the wholesome star of days past.

He’s vegan

But there's more to Efron than just his vocals and pretty boy looks. In an interview with Teen Vogue, he sheds light on his decision to turn vegan, “I've been experimenting with eating purely vegan. That's completely changed the way that my body works, and the way that I metabolise food, the way it turns into energy, the way that I sleep. It's been brilliant. It’s been great for my exercise, and great for my routine.”

And if you are following him on Instagram, you'd see that he’s quite the chef and likes to share his vegan recipes. Here, he makes his pre-red carpet smoothie made up of spinach, kale, blueberries, raspberries, avocado, banana, coconut water, almond milk, chia seeds and honey. Judging by the pictures of him topless, this diet is clearly working for him very, very well.
