Zac Efron Recalls First Audition
ZAC Efron admits his first audition for a role was a complete disaster.
The actor — who shot to fame in Disney’s High School Musical movie franchise — says he “kind of wept” when he was turned down for the part of Peter Pan after his “worst audition ever”.
“My first audition ever was for this Peter Pan live action show when I was 15 and I’d just done the play Peter Pan so I thought ‘who could be better’,” Efron recalled.
“I showed up and it was on tape in this tiny room. On stage you speak to the back of the room and you project and Peter Pan is very animated and jumping off things and going crazy so that’s what I did in the audition, running around and jumping off my chair, singing the lines.
“This woman interrupted me and goes ‘you’ve never done this before have you?’ and I went ‘no’ and she went ‘okay you can go’ and that was the worst audition ever, ever in my life.
“I kind of wept about that one.”
Efron, 22, recently revealed that he’d like to play a villain in a James Bond movie.
“I’m a huge James Bond fan,” he said. “I’d love to be a Bond baddie. I’ve seen pretty much every Bond film.
“Sean Connery is my favorite and I really like Goldeneye with Pierce Brosnan.”
