OK, I have to admit something. I love Zac Efron. I love him in the way I had loved Jordan Knight when I was in junior high.
How did this happen to me? Well, it started with Macy watching High School Musical this summer over and over. I noticed him. Thought he was cute. Thought it was a cute little, sill movie.
Then Macy & I watched High School Musical 2 over and over. I thought, “Wow, he is really cute.”
Then I saw him on the teen choice awards. When HSM2 won for best movie, and he kept blushing because he couldn’t talk over the screaming girls every time he approached the mic, I realized I was blushing for him! I turned to Macy and said, “He makes my heart go pitter-patter!” Then I said to myself, “Dude, you’re 32 years old, get over yourself. You’re too old to have a crush on some teenage actor!” Macy told me she thinks he’s a “hottie.” (She learned that word that night because he won the “Hottie of the year” award with Jessica Alba. ”Mom, what’s a hottie?” I answered, “Zac Efron is a hottie.”)
Then I took Macy to see Hairspray on Thursday night. She loves music and dancing and I thought she would enjoy it. It had nothing to do with the fact that Zac was in it. I swear! (Don’t believe me… it had everything to do with him being in it.)
I really enjoyed Hairspray, not just the Zac moments. John Travolta had me cracking up! But I had no idea so many great stars were in it. Too many to name. I didn’t even know what Hairspary was about, but I really enjoyed the story too. Zac was pretty darn good too.
