Zac Efron: Claire Danes Intimidated Me

Zac Efron: Claire Danes Intimidated Me

Zac Efron was in way over his head when he heard that Claire Danes would be playing his love interest in Richard Linklater’s Me & Orson Welles.

The 21-year-old actor dishes to Blackbook mag, “I was intimidated, even just the name Claire Danes carries such weight with it. I needed to be a worthy love interest in the film and I didn’t know that I had any of the qualities necessary to woo a girl like her.”

Zac continued, “Claire and I were trapped on an island together with nowhere to go for four weeks, like a reality show. My character was supposed to fall in love, but she was also supposed to be out of his league. After meeting Claire, that was definitely the way it was supposed to be.”

@nikki: People have been saying that for 4 years now LOL. Sounds like you got a bit of a jealous streek in you……I think you and your vibrator should just shut up put Zac’s pictures on slide show and use up a new set of batteries. Thats as close as you’ll ever get to him

He underestimates himself. He’s an amazing actor, with lots of raw talent.

I totally agree - he doesn’t give himself enough credit. He’s show us all that he can play different roles - and it looks like he did very well in this film. I really can’t wait to see it - it comes out December 4th in the UK! :D

And @ nikki - if you haven’t anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
