Real Boyfriend On The Beach

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] We told you months ago that this very famous actor and his costar actress were going to pretend to date to promote their movie.

There were lots of incentives for them to do so, including a great big bonus if their relationship could help move it towards a franchise!

The actress’ real boyfriend – who is not famous – was cool about the whole thing. He agreed to step aside (in public) so that she could coyly tease/deny a relationship with the actor.

If you were watching carefully, you know that all of that did happen.

Well, except for the franchise part.

The movie did not do well at the box office. In fact, it hasn’t even made back its budget.

So you might assume that the fake relationship show is now over and the real boyfriend can come back into the picture, right?

Not necessarily!

[The actor’s] team wants to keep [actress] around until after [actor’s] next film is released at the end of the year. Something about “taking the stress off of [the actor]” so he doesn’t have to think about pretending to date someone new.

Know who IS getting stressed about this? The actress’ real boyfriend! He was planning great vacation and family events for him and the actress over the holidays… but now he may be on the beach until after the New Year!

No contract yet, but just watch to see who she appears with in public next. That will tell you which way the negotiations went!

    Actor: Zac Efron

    Actress: Alexandra Daddario

    Boyfriend: Ben Verlander

    Clues: Franchise starter, Beach, “Just watch”

    Optional: They both want to maintain privacy, so he *might* permit for a wee bit longer. But a point will come when enough is enough. Most likely if/when they get engaged.

    Alternate event: She doesn’t go to his next premiere with him, but she gets cast as the female lead in his next project set to shoot in a few months, with both he and his team lobbying heavily…

    Zac Efron

    Movie flop (which I knew it would since it was announced): Baywatch
    Clue: “on the beach”
    He has a movie coming out in December called The Disaster Artist.

    The movie must be Baywatch, with all of the beach clues. Did quite poorly at the B.O., despite talk that they wanted to turn it into a franchise. Efron always needs a beard, and his movie coming out late this year is The Greatest Showman.

    Clues: “just ‘watch’ to see”…The franchise was “Baywatch”

    Actor: Zac Efron
    Actress: Alexandra Daddario

    Clues: Both starred in “Baywatch” – a franchise that was supposed to do well but has so far tanked at the box office; “he may be on the beach until after the New Year..;” there’s been a lot of speculation in gossip mags if they’re together or not. Zac Efron is rumored to have been in PR relationships in the past.

    Actor: Zac Efron

    Actress: Alexandra Daddario

    Clues: Beach, watching carefully (as lifeguards do), his next movie is The Greatest Showman,

    [Optional] Should the boyfriend be a little more patient? No, there’s not much Zac can do to save things by the end of the year, and she needs to step up for her real bf!

    Actor: Zac Efron

    Actress: Alexandria Daddrio

    Clues: Beach=Bay Watch (the movie didn’t do well)

  19. DaniJo says

    Actor: Zac Efron

    Actress: Alexandra Daddario

    Clues: beach/’Baywatch’

    Optional: No, the boyfriend should not be more patient. I don’t understand why any guy would be okay with their girlfriend stepping out pretending to date a celebrity and then coming home to them. How does the boyfriend explain that to their family and friends?

      As business. I think it sucks too but a lot of acting is game playing and image. If it makes her higher profile and he is serious about her he’d get it. It isn’t like she is cheating since she is OBVIOUSLY a beard.
