Hot Young Actor Betrayed by Roommates

BlindGossip – This is the story of three young actors living together in Hollywood. Actor A is a very popular, hot, young actor and the star of a popular franchise. With his parent’s encouragement, Actor B, a fledgling actor, moved into Actor A’s home as a roommate. Actor A worked his contacts behind the scenes to successfully get Actor B a gig in the same franchise. They began sleeping together. Then Actor C, also a struggling Hollywood actor, also moved in. Actor A also got Actor C a gig in the movie in which he was starring, and they began sleeping with each other. Eventually, Actor C got a regular gig on a popular tweener show.

So Actor A helped both his roomies break into showbiz, gave them a place to live, and dated both of them. Busy guy, complicated personal life, yet he was still able to keep his head in the game, crank out multiple projects, maintain a busy travel schedule, and fool the general public with frequent appearances with his faux girlfriend, another high profile young star.

However, it all started falling apart when Actor A came home early from a trip to find Actor B and Actor C in a compromising position …with each other. Actor A was absolutely furious. So much so that he is now looking to move into a new home with his faux girlfriend. Meanwhile, the parents and PR folks of Actor B and Actor C are scrambling to pretend that everyone gets along and will continue to work together, everyone is straight, and that the only sexual relationship is the one between Actor A and the Actress. Whatever.

    Zac and Vanessa, really?

  • Nancy

    Zac Efron for Actor A?

  • tulipmom

    It sounds like a Twilight trio to me….Actor B definitely could be Taylor Lautner… Actor A is Pattinson and Actor C is ???
    Faux girlfreinds are Taylor Swift and Kristen Stewart

  • MM

    Then who are B and C?

    • Informed Citizen

      B would have to be Bubba Lewis. He’s Zafrons “BFF” since way back and Zafron gets him bit parts in a bunch of movies (17 Again, for example). He’s be the number one suspect for Zac’s boyfriend since the beginning.

  • Bigmama

    the three guys kinda remind me of the Jonas Brothers so I wonder if that is the genre.

    With that in mind…
    A. Shia La Bouf
    B. John Robinson (transformers)
    C. Jonathon Trent (transformers 2 and now is on 90210)

    • Nancy

      I really like this guess.

    • des

      Interesting….did they all live together? I found this for what it’s worth: http://www.edgeboston.com/index.php?ch=columnists&sc=ryan_shattuck&sc2=&sc3=&id=87207

    • Jalisa

      who is the fake girlfriend?

      • brooke

        I also like this guess. The fake girlfriend would be Shia’s – Carey Mulligan.

      • Lozza

        Carey Mulligan. Great guess on Shia!

        • MayMay

          Gotta say, I don’t get the gay vibe at all from Shia. Plus, I wouldn’t consider Carey Mulligan high profile. I had never heard of her until she started dating Shia, and even now I don’t think most people would have heard of her.

          That article is interesting, but lots of straight guys have gay roommates, too.

          That said, I have no good guess of my own…

          • Diego

            Agreed, she’s not high profile

          • brooke

            While it is true Carey Mulligan’s is not a household name, she has been quite high profile this awards season – being put forth as a best actress nominee for her role in An Education. Regardless of her recent loss of momentum owing to her team’s mismanagement, I think she would still be considered a high profile young star in Hollywood terms.

          • kate

            yeah,,,I don’t think she is a high profile star.

    • duckie

      i agree with this, shia was the first person i thought of. he is also the only young franchise star with the clout to get someone in the first movie…all these zac efron guesses don’t make sense, he was a nobody before the first HSM.

      • Lozza

        Exactly Shia was already a big star. He could have got his mate a job on Transformers. Can’t see Disney letting Efron do the same on the first HSM. The later ones yes but not straight off.

      • mizfabulous

        The BI mentions that Actor A is the star of a popular franchise, and it also mentions him getting his roommate a role in a movie he was in. It does not say that the movie in question was one in the popular franchise. Zefron starred in the HSM franchise, but he was also in “17 Again”, which is a movie that was not part of a franchise.

        All the other stuff about Shia fits, but Carey Mulligan is hardly a “high profile young star.” In fact, I’ve never heard of her. This is Zefron/Vanessa.

        • Lozza

          You see I disagree :) You can barely read anything without hearing about her at the moment. She’s Golden Globe and Bafta nominated and looks a cert for an Oscar nom.

          • peggyfan

            Agree, she IS high profile, just not yet a household name. She is the anti Lohan – D list career, A list recognition, turn that around and you have Carey Muligan

    • uhuh

      i went digging on your information and i now believe you are right – it’s Shia – lets not forget Shia has said in interviews he is a professional liar – and people who know him have said about Shia that he spins a good story – so in all his interviews he lies about everything, attention seeking stories is what he tells to journalists – always avoiding the truth – Shia is an actor 24/7 – about to become the next Tom Cruise? His whole life a lie, with completely different life behind the scenes. How can people live with through and through fake lives? It makes no sense to be faking a life for public view. Some people are crazy. THOSE people are crazy.

  • Ashlea

    This reeks of Efron. Does anyone know if he lives with anyone?

  • Erin

    Actor A and gf have to be Zac & Vanessa. I assume that B & C would be people that eventually joined the High School Musical cast but I am too old to watch that so have NO clue who is in them.

    It appears James Franco’s younger bro is going to be in that “St. Cloud” moview with Zac (according to IMDB) so he could be B or C and may have parents encouragement since he’s James Franco’s younger bro. I tried googling who Zac’s roomates are but can find nothing.

    Here is the evidence Zac and Nes are moving in together:

  • Melina

    Is this even a blind? Solved! :D

  • Britney

    Actor A: Efron
    Actor B: Lucas Gabreel or Cobin Bleu
    Actor C: Sterling Knight (17 Again, ‘Sonny With a Chance’

  • lin

    Didn’t the 2 guys from Gossip Girl live together…?

  • Tru

    yeah, I’m going w/Zackie Poo and his crew–it just sounds like his unsurprising life.

    you can look in Vanessa’s face and see the real deal and I did read about him and his friends living together..just all chummy roommies.

  • Nina

    The beginning of it sounds exactly the opening of the Real World. This is the story of 10 people picked to live together….

    • sneezy

      With just a little Jerry Springer thrown in to keep things interesting.

      While initially I didn’t think it was Efron (I mean, Disney owned his soul, and those kids under the mouse have no say as to what’s going on) – after seeing that BG’s titled the photo “teen boys three” I’m swayed a little, but still not sure.

  • Nancy

    I don’t think Zac Efron would have had enough power to influence casting choices in High School Musical 1. If it’s him, the other actors will have to be in HSM 2 and/or HSM 3 but not in HSM 1.

    I also think we shouldn’t assume the popular franchise is popular with tweens. They only talk about Actor C being on a tweener show.

  • Christine

    “to keep his head in the game” = reference to HSM’s “Get’cha head in the game”, so Z Efron is obvs actor A.

  • danny

    poor Zac. this isn’t even a blind item! LOVE it! does that house have security cameras? lets try to get some of the surveillance videos!

  • Bigmama

    I read recently that Ted C actually commented that Zac wasn’t gay. But I could have read that wrong.

  • JDW

    Definately Zac for Actor A…’keep his head in the game’, v similar song in High School Musical by him ‘Getcha Head in The Game’

    As for the other 2, I’m not sure…

  • Tinker

    Yeah, another vote for Zackie Poo and crew here, not least because all this appears to have been carrying on for quite some time, going by the BI.

    Additionally, Vanessa’s face – in interviews it is such a give-away at times. I remember a live one she did over here a few years back, the interviewers mentioned Zac, her eyes went to the ceiling and an “if only you knew” look was all over her face in 6 foot high letters.

  • Nancy

    Here’s a list of popular movie franchises starring a “hot young popular” actor:

    -Harry Potter
    -Transformers
    -Twilight
    -High School Musical

    • DunDunDun

      I really love the Harry Potter guess…but have absolutely no follow-through suggestions lol!

    • Yan

      I thought Potter was an English based film. AND this says Hollywood… Daniel Radcliffe and all the main actors were unknown before this franchise… and let’s be honest, the cast hasn’t grown that much to have HP be a contender for this. IMHO

  • AJ

    Am I the only one thinking that Actor A has no business being upset that B & C were getting it on together? Why should he be the only one allowed multiple partners?!

    Anyway… I’m jumping on the Zac Efron bandwagon *jump*

  • Yan

    I googled waaaaay too much for this one BUT I still don’t think it adds up. They are all connected to Zac Efron but I can’t find anywhere where it says any of them were roommates w/ him. BUT all the boys listed below have been roommates of one another and have all worked w/ Efron at some point or another:

    Sterling Knight (17 again, Sonny w/ a Chance)
    Ryan Pinkston (check his imdb page)
    Matt Prokop (from High School Musical 3)

    my conclusion? EFRON is a the main guy

  • switz29@hotmail.com

    I believe it to be Hayden Christensen and looking out for actor’s B and C

  • J

    “Head in the Game” – Third song in HSM 1 – Definitely Zac Efron and cast.

  • Plush

    Kellan Lutz once said while filming Twilight he couldn’t hardly pay his rent. I wonder if he ever had roommates. Something about his relationship with AnnaLynn McCord is odd. He said they never dated but trots her out every few weeks to keep suspicion off him. He may not be the answer to this blind but soon his is coming.

  • Gus

    Actor A is Pattinson.

    Actor B is Tom Sturridge. They have been living together and Rob Pattz tried to get him a role in Twilight.

    There are recent articles from OK! and the Daily Mail where they state that Rob and her faux girlfriend are moving together.

  • julie

    It’s Zac for actor A—”Keep your head in the game” is a huge clue. And I guess he is moving in with Vanessa.

  • Melanie

    It is absolutely the Gossip Girl boys. Chase Crawford and Ed Westwick have been roommates since before the show started. Ed probably just moved in with faux gf Jessica Szohr.

  • Jean

    Could be zac because:

    -Keep yor head in the game
    -The hairstyle on the guys is the same (zac, matt and sterling), and they are hot.
    -90210 isn’t that popular and tweeners aren’t really into it… I guess disney shows are more for tweens, but I don’t know if it’s even popular.

    Can’t be zac:

    -It was reported that nesa and zac were house hunting, but then denied by their PRs.
    -”everyone gets along and will continue to work together” neither of them have any work together right now.

    Can’t be Shia:
    - Carey Mulligan is young, but I don’t think she is a high profile star.
    -The boys in the pic are hot… shia and his friends… not

    Some inconsistencies if you want it to be zac or if you want it to be shia… my guess? BOTH OF THEM ARE GAY AND ENDED UP IN THAT SAME SITUATION.

    • uhuh

      carey mulligan was at the golden globes last week because she was nominated for best actress
      how’s that for ”not high profile” lol
      she’s a big star
      maybe not in the US yet, but faking a relationship with shia sure gives her publicity

  • A

    RPatz, Lautner, Jamie Campbell Bower.

  • Eric

    Cary Mulligan (Shia LaBeouf’s girlfriend) isn’t nearly as high profile as Vanessa Hudgens.

    So this blind item has to absolutely be about Zac :-)

  • kalan

    Something tells me if parents are involved B & C must be young but legal.

  • avar

    So I googled all these names that have been popping up, and shucks, they ALL look gay.
    And I also feel like a total pedophile now, thanks Blind Gossip!(I still love you though, even if you make my pushing-30 ass look up Disney stars!)
    I think Disney should just open up a big mansion and have them all live there, ookie cookies and circle jerks all around!
    Gotta love Hollywood.

  • A.S.

    You have to work this gossip backwards….whomever “Actor C” is, he’s the most identifiable and has the most clues to follow. Figure out who he is and the rest will just fall into place!~ :)

  • traceface

    I am totally on board with the Shia guess…and he is reportedly dating Care Mulligan, who is supposed to be a new Hollywood ingenue, so it would totally make sense for her to agree with a Fauxmance with Shia.

  • Demi

    Getcha head in the game… I vote the Zefron. Or Shia.
    Vanessa and Zac to move in as Carey and Shia have only been dating about 5 minutes.

  • Bobbie

    The problem with all the Zac Efron guesses is he’s never lived with roommates. Also he’s not moving in with Vanessa. His rep has denied that multiple times.

  • Mrs Patrick Campbell

    These are three queens. If they were men (aka “str8 guys”) they would each be living with a fish.

  • MikeInSanJose

    I don’t get the “Betrayal” aspect of this.

    ‘A’ hooked up with ‘B’. Then ‘C’ comes along and ‘A’ hooks up with him. ‘A’ has a public girlfriend/beard. Seems like ‘B’ is the one getting screwed… metaphorically speaking…

    I don’t see any mention anywhere that ‘A’ was betrothed to either ‘B’ or ‘C’, so what’s the deal if ‘B’ and ‘C’ hook up? Hell, that could add some spice to the home life for the three of them…

    …or some Alphabet Soup!

  • Nick

    It’s Shia, John Robinson and Jonathan Trent.

  • DeeRox

    I think its Zac. Head in the game = HSM. Its rumored that he and “Whatsherface” Vanessa are moving in together…whatever!! Perezhilton refers to her as “whatsherface”. Consider this solved.

  • Samantha

    Zac Efron has never had housemates other than his family.

    I vote for Shia.

  • metoo

    What about that Jared Padalecki and that other guy from Supernatural?

  • Indigo

    well, at least they’re not eating placenta like those in the next blind…:))
    I know, I’m obsessed with that one O_0

  • Linden Groves

    Zac lived at 10715 Camarillo St. in the Park Toluca condos in Toluca Lake until a year ago. He then moved into his new house in the Hollywood Hills. It’s not hard to confirm this as lots of paparazzi photos show him outside the condos. There are lots of websites that showed his house when he moved in as it is a remodel of well-known house by a prominent architect from the 1940′s. There is even one set of pictures taken from a helicopter showing him standing in the sliding glass door of his kitchen. If he had ever had any roommates, there would be lots of confirming photos of them in and out of the condo or house. Vanessa has her own house. They may move in together but is certainly isn’t because of a lovers’ spat with his hypothetical boyfriends. So not Zac. Of course it’s all probably fiction anyway.

  • MaryMac

    I honestly do NOT think that Zac is gay. He and Vanessa actually seem to keep their relationship on the downlow, actually. And if he is he is one awesome actor, because the way he looks at her, especially in the movies, he looks like he totally has the hots for her. Just saying….I also cannot see 2 young hot people like Zac and Vanessa pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend for all these years.

    And Sterling Knight??? Really??? He’s such a cutie pie…why are all the cute ones taken or gay?

    • Sean

      lol, it’s always women who defend their favorite actor as being a heterosexual — two hot young people like Zac and Vanessa have everything to lose if they come out of the closet. Having staged relationships is common in Hollywood; don’t be naive~ they aren’t the kids next door.

  • TJ

    Ryan Pinkston, Matt Prokop and Sterling Knight have all been mentioned as roommates at some point. However Knight and Prokop often refer to each other as roommates in the press.
    Sterling is from Sunny with a Chance (he’s Chad Dylan Cooper) and was in 17 Again (Efron connection). He is 20. From his website: “Sterling is roomates with High School Musical 3: Senior Year’s Matt Prokop.”
    Matt Prokop was in HM3 (Efron franchise connection) and is 19. He moved to LA from Texas at 16. Definitely struggling.
    Pinkston is 21 and doesn’t share any credits with Zach. I don’t think it’s him.
    Lucas Grabeel was mentioned but he’s 26 and was in all the HSM from the start. Same thing for Corbin Bleu – been there from the beginning. So I don’t think either of those work.
    In this scenario, it has to be someone who joined in after HSM 1 like Prokop in 3.
    Personally I’d guess:
    Zac Efron A
    Matt Prokop B
    Sterling Knight C

  • Ann

    Zac Efron and the HSM actors, there are so many and they all lived in the same area.

    Pattinson lives in London or is on location but has no place in LA. The same goes for the Harry Potter actors.

    These are L.A. based guys, LaBeuf is a good guess too.

    Lautner is minor and still lives with his parents I think.

    My guess are the Disney kids.

  • lola

    The bathrobes that the guys are wearing remind me of Alvin and the Chipmunks so maybe that is a clue?

    The actors who voiced them are: Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney but I don’t think any of them really fit…

  • Jamie

    I don’t think it’s Zac for the reason that everyones missing one key thing. The article says that the PR folks are scrambling to make sure everyone will still work together. The HSM franchise ended 2 years ago and there are no plans to make any more with Zac in them meaning that they wouldn’t need to work together again.

    Also when it comes to Zac & Vanessa – they don’t really need to be together anymore if their relationship is fake. That franchise is long gone and to be fair having Zac as a boyfriend hardly advances Vanessas career anymore considering everyone thinks shes a beard – if she infact was im sure theyd have “broke up” soon after the last movie and shed be in another high profile romance by now.

    • Nick

      Not everyone thinks that Vanessa is a beard. The absolute majority of people never keep up with celeb gossip. Gossip readers forget that a lot.

    • Sean

      Vanessa is an easy vehicle to tote around as far as a beard is concerned, isn’t it so romantic? They met on set, fell in love, and they’re STILL together!! The problem is, Vanessa couldn’t land a high profile romance if she wanted to — she’s the equivalent of Hollywood chopped liver, regardless if she’s cute and whatnot. Her PR people need Zac to keep her from slipping into a forgotten, ubiquitous hole.

  • Lucie

    Efron has always lived alone since moving out of his parents house. This should be clue enough that it’s not him.

  • cherier

    oh come on ladies, not all guys are straight.
    i know its sad your fav star is gay but lets face it, who are the guys in drama classes in high school and stuff?

    lol.

    im not saying everyone in hollywood is gay but i think efron is pretty darn obvious..

    • Samantha

      How is Efron obviously gay? Clue me in to how someone can be obviously gay, unless they are out.

      • Meg

        Have you ever met a gay guy? Or seen one of the street? You’ll know…even though they’re not out to you.

        • Samantha

          Thinking like that only helps perpetuate hate and bigotry. Stop thinking like only certain people can be gay and certain people can be straight based on what they look like or how they act. It doesn’t work that way.

        • RaRa

          Wow, rude much?

          There isn’t a set code for how “gay guys” act versus “straight guys.” All those words mean is your sexual preference, nothing about your personality. That’s just the same as assuming someone has a specific personality because of their race.

  • Caroline

    Shia was my first thought… but then, I thought Zac and Vanessa already basically lived together since they’ve been a couple for so many years. I saw an interview with her once where she talked about their house etc…. No way it’s Twilight, Robsten is real (couples for publicity aren’t under the radar like that, hello) and none of them got anyone else into the movies.

  • lins

    After viewing all of the commentaries, I think Big Mama’s Shia LaBeuf guess is what makes the most sense. Both of those guys (“Actors B and C” of the blind) each appeared in a Transformers movie and one is also on 90210, which may not be a huge hit, but it is a tweener show. Also, the phrase “high-profile” may not just be talking about fame – it could also be talking about buzz. Carey Mulligan is not as recognizable as Hudgens, but she has been receiving A LOT of critical acclaim for her role in The Education and she was nominated for the best actress in a dramatic film Golden Globe….they’re even talking Oscar nomination. I think that qualifies as “high profile”. The blind may not fit the guess to the letter, but it fits the closest.
