Zac Efron: The Advocate Interview
Zac Efron chatted with Brandon Voss of The Advocate about all things gay.
It’s a good interview and Efron comes off well.
Here are some excerpts:
On gay marriage: “It’s an issue that affects so many people in my life — a lot of my close friends and some of the most influential people around me. I just want them all to be happy. It would make me so happy to see them able to live their lives and do what they want to do.”
On gay rumors: “I don’t like to live in fear about things like rumors and backlash to begin with — that’s the way I was raised — but I just can’t see what’s so wrong about being gay.”
On gay roles: “I’d never take a role just for the sake of playing gay, but I’m always looking for a role that’s challenging, different, and entails some risk, so there’s no doubt in my mind that one of those characters will be gay at some point in the future. It’s always interesting to delve into unexplored territory, and that would be a new avenue for me. I definitely wouldn’t be afraid.”
On gay fans: “It’s very flattering. After High School Musical and Hairspray, I’ve always felt embraced by the gay community, and I feel incredibly grateful and honored. This is actually a very special interview for me. I’m extremely aware of the support I’ve gotten from you guys over the years, and it’s amazing that it’s taken this long to sit down and actually discuss it, but please know that it hasn’t gone unappreciated. I’m so excited to be talking to you.”

Randall Scott Redman says:
Zac thank you – You are one of the hottest guys in Hollywood films. I can’t wait to see Baywatch. Your movies are worth 6 dollars. I hope you like the Olympics as much as I do. Do you realize more people love the Olympics than all other sports combined. 1/3 of Football fans like the Olympics better.
Zac, I just got the Olympic Channel this weekend. Friend I have to tell you there needs to be one or two more channels added to bring all sports festivals to not only the USA but the WORLD. Universal stands for WORLD.
