Zac Efron's teenage crush on Michelle Pfeiffer
Zac Efron was delighted when he got to smooch with Michelle Pfeiffer in New Year's Eve as he'd harboured a secret crush on her since he was 18.
The High School Musical star first met the veteran Hollywood actress when they worked together on 2007 musical Hairspray, and he jumped at the chance to co-star with her in their 2011 comedy.
He has previously told how their onscreen smooch was his most
favourite part of the shoot - and now he's confessed getting
passionate with Pfeiffer had been his dream for years.
Efron tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, "I had a huge crush
on Michelle during filming of Hairspray. She was an angel that
turned up on set every day and I would try as much as I could to
get close to her and strike up some awkward conversation - I was 18
and didn't know what I was doing.
"And then she was trying to get hold of me to see if I was doing
New Year's Eve so I had two voicemails from Michelle Pfeiffer. It
was the best experience of my life doing that movie with her.
Driving around on a Vespa with her on the back, I felt like the
king of the world. And kissing her was my dream come true. It was
amazing."
