Zac Efron: 'saying No to Footloose Was a Tough Call'

He tells Details magazine, "All the things I loved about Footloose I couldn’t find in the project. They just weren’t there. I couldn’t see myself doing it."

And then he had to tell High School Musical creator Kenny Ortega he didn't want to be a part of the movie: "I love Kenny with all my heart, it was literally the hardest phone call I’ve ever made."
