Would Zac Efron Consider A New High School Musical Reunion?

Zac Efron is still Troy Bolton at heart.

Talking about his new movie Firestarter—which premiered last month—the actor shared that if given the chance to reteam with the High School Musical cast and crew, he would gladly throw on his Wildcats jersey.

“My heart’s still there, so that would be incredible. I hope it happens,” he said about a possible reunion, having missed the movie’s 10th anniversary special on Disney Channel in 2016. “And I think everybody would love to get involved. I’ll try to keep them moving in the right direction.”

Efron has come a long way since his days playing Troy in the musical trilogy. He’s now starring as father to Ryan Kiera Armstrong’s Charlie in Firestarter—a remake of the classic 1984 Stephen King horror film starring a young Drew Barrymore.

As for whether he’d take on a parental role IRL, Efron revealed that he doesn’t plan on becoming a dad any time soon.

“Maybe at some point down the road, we’ll see,” Efron said. “Of course, I’d love to be a dad one day, but I don’t know if the movie made me want to do it any sooner.” As not to offend his co-star, he said, “You were fantastic, Ryan, but I got a little more time to wait.”

Even so, Efron’s already got paternal instincts. “Zac was always there for me,” Armstrong told MarkMeet News, calling her on-screen dad “really awesome.”
