High School Musical was released on January 20, 2006, starring Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. The success of the Disney Channel film led to two sequels released in summer 2007 and autumn 2008.
Efron is now a bona fide movie star, currently playing Kevin Von Erich in The Iron Claw – but what happened to the rest of the cast? Let’s take a look …
1. Zac Efron
Zac Efron starred as Troy Bolton, the most popular guy at East High, equally talented at singing and playing basketball. Troy fell in love with Gabriella after meeting her at a ski resort and reluctantly being paired up for karaoke.
It’s unclear when Efron and co-star Vanessa Hudgens began dating in real life, but they split in 2010.
Efron has a YouTube channel, where he posts fitness and travel videos, too. His love for adventure led to a Netflix travel series titled Down to Earth With Zac Efron, which debuted on the streaming platform in 2020. The show returned for a second season in November 2022.
