Zac Efron: ‘I’d Love to Work With Vanessa Again’

Zac Efron: ‘I’d Love to Work With Vanessa Again’

Zac Efron caught up with MTV in Las Vegas after he received the Breakout Performer of the Year honors last Thursday (April 2).

The 21-year-old actor talked about basketball, working with Matthew Perry and keeping girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens in his long-term plans. Check it out:

On working side-by-side with Chandler Bing: “I was already familiar with Friends, so I didn’t have to sit and watch all the seasons or anything like that. He’s got incredible timing. … We rehearsed a lot together, and Matthew was always available to hang out and work with me on my part [so I could play a younger him]. And we kind of did become friends during filming.”

On playing basketball, once again, on film: “It was originally in the script! I’m going to be honest — it was a plus. Like, all right, I can play basketball, and it’s a sport I feel you can show off in — which is important for this character and the movie. A pet peeve of mine is when people can’t actually do the sport that they are supposed to play on camera, so it’s nice to play basketball.”

On hoping to work with Vanessa Hudgens again: “Sure, I hope so. It’s always great getting to work with your best friend.”

uhhh…vanessa??? your best friend???

why is zac keep on denying it???

I think that’s so much improper…he should tell everyone and be thankful to have vanessa as her girl…

I mean, come one they are the cutest couple…they shouldn’t deny it… besides after all their pictures, especially the one on the beach…if they want to keep it private…why would they still flirt in a public place w/c they know that papz…are following them…huh???

i liked the interview but not really “the best friend” part. i mean everybody knows zac and vanessa are a lot more than best friends, so zac should stop denying it! anyway, he looks great and i can’t wait for the movie!
xoxo

He didn’t deny that she’s his girlfriend. This is so much more important. He doesn’t see her as just a girlfriend but a best friend too. Do you know how important that is and how much that means. I’m so glad he said that. And in other interviews he acknowledged V as his girlfriend. I don’t think he meant to deny it. You just took it as that.

zanessa is luv @ 12:35 pm on 04/06/2009

hey dude, u shudnt hav deny the relationship between you and V, u shud tell the whole world that he’s ur girl, i mean u shud be proud and thankful that your girlfriend is one of the most hot and beautiful star in hollywood.

zane @ 12:38 pm on 04/06/2009

he still wants to keep his personal life private. calling your girlfriend , bestfriend is good too. For me,it doesnt change anything .Zac is really in love. He cared too much his relationship with Vanessa so he wants to be low key about it which I understand .what matters is their love for each other.

@ZanessaSupporter: I was just about to say the exact same thing you just did. It seems like people want Zac to go around saying “My girlfriend Vanessa and I..” or “Vanessa who is my girlfriend…” If he doesn’t refer to her as his “girlfriend” he is somehow denying it. We KNOW they are a couple and they KNOW that we KNOW. So they don’t feel the need to go around announcing it. Why should they?

I don’t get why people just can’t relax about it.

@miLcaheunice:

He didn’t deny Vanessa as his girlfriend. He said she was his best-friend. That I think is very sweet.(L:ove him for that)

Seriously, what guy in his twenties gushes about his girlfriend.
Penn Badgley who dates Blake Lively(from Gossip Girl) rarely says anything about her, and when he does it sounds like he talking about his sister than girlfriend. I hear he really loves her and him and Blake are very happy.

Best friends??? I thought that was what he called that chubby little girl from Hairspray. My, my, my……sorry people the young man is moving on and soon they will just be kids who worked together in Disney movies.

I think I said best friend just to let us know that they ARE dating but they are BFF as well and that’s just AMAZING!
ZANESSA FOREVER

The star is happy to confirm he is still in a serious relationship with his High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens.

“Yes. I can say yeah but that’s all I can say,” he says with a smile. Efron has fought actively against making the relationship a headline-grabber, despite the fervent interest from fans and journalists all across the world.
