To Play Younger

high school kids 2[Blind Gossip] This actor made his bones playing a teenager in a famous franchise. While he wants to be thought of as an adult actor, the siren song of a big payout keeps him revisiting this juvenile role.

There are two little problems.

The first is that a significant amount of time has passed since the original movie and his look has matured.

They’re going to have to do a little work to conceal the fact that he is now practically old enough to have fathered some of those high school kids.

The second issue is his bulked-up body.

Unless they change the nature of his character, he’s going to have to get off the juice at least a three months prior to filming.

    Not too sure, but let me guess.
    Actor: Zac Efron
    Franchise: High School Musical 4

    It’s all over the news now that HSM 4 is actually happening!

    Zac played famous high school b-ball jock Troy Bolton for HSM 1/2/3. He’s been crazy bulked up while filming Baywatch.

    Clue seems to be: “he’s going to have to get off the juice” (in a previous blind it was suggested he took steroids for his Baywatch role).
    Significant amount of time has passed since the original movie = HSM 1 in 2006…

      Edit: I DO think it’s Zac Efron! The pieces fit imo.

      Aw, I loved you as Troy, but your glory Troy days are far gone.

      Zac can always make a cameo though (or have an older role). He can be a part-time basketball coach or visiting East High. Disney would make huge bucks from HSM 4 if everyone heard that Zac was appearing in it.

    Zac Efron and High School Musical.
    The whole cast is now obviously way past high school, and even college would be tricky at this point. They’ll need a plot — high school reunion is the obvious one — that accommodates the aging of the stars.

    zac efram (he is all jacked up for the baywatch movie)

    high school musical (casting for number 4)

    Actor: zac efron?

    Franchise: hsm

    yeah, i’m only 23 though. a new nurse at the doctor’s office i used to go to thought i was in middle school. i don’t even think i look that young

  20. scootypuffjr says

    My first thought was Zac Efron from High School Musical. He’s not that old, but he’s way too jacked and it’s really aging him.

    Optional: High school, nope. College, yeah I get pinned as an undergrad all the time. I’m 30.

  21. CoCoJoe says

    When I was 34, I was mistaken for 13. I was carded on my 40th birthday, but people are stupid.

    The only one I can think of is Zac Efron, but I am probably wrong. “bones” is probably a clue, but I am not catching it. High School Musical?

  23. Jester says

    Zac Efron from High School Musical?

    I will be 57 in a few weeks, so “no”, not anymore. However, the last time I was carded, I was 43. Not too shabby.

    • Dancing with Mr D says

      You GO! I was 36 last time I was carded, and I only was for nefarious reasons.

    Zac yawn Effron
    High School Musical
    Bad idea. Just leave it alone. He will never pass as a high school kid.

  26. cadaver11 says

    I feel like this is someone from HARRY POTTER or TWILIGHT.

    I guess I can pass for a 19 year old. I’m currently 25.

  27. spunkie brewster says

    Zac Efron
    High School Musical (gag me)
    I look younger than I am (31) but not young enough for HS

  28. celebiddy says

    Just gonna wait to see what everyone else answers cause i have no idea.

    Just wanted to say that i am 25 and totally pass for a 17 yr old. I have a 4 month old baby and i swear strangers look at me like im a teen mom lol

  30. jonty30 says

    If it weren’t for the clue that this is somebody revisiting some youthful role, I’d say this would be about Harrison Ford.

    He’s too old to play Indiana Jones, but he keeps coming back to it.

  31. goose23 says

    Zac Efron

    Optional: I’m 29 and doubt I could pass for a high schooler. 3 babies changes a body!

  32. craicmehappy says

    Zac Efron – High School Musical

    Could I pass as a HS student? Unfortunately no ????, but neither can Zac and he’s way younger!

  37. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Zac Efron – High School Musical Franchise.

    Can’t pass for a high schooler, but when people hear how old I really am (and it’s pretty old!), they can’t believe it. I probably look about 10-15 years younger than I am and today, someone thought I was 20 years younger than I actually am!

  38. NinaMelpomene says

    Actor: Zac Efron

    Franchise: High School Musical

    I definitely could not pass for someone still in high school.

  40. jaydeelove says

    Just guessing here but…

    Actor: Zac Efron
    Franchise: High School Musical

    [Optional]: I definitely could, but I’m only 20, so I’m really not that far out of high school, no matter what I like to think haha

  50. elevatorcircles says

    Actor: Zac Efron

    Franchise: High School Musical

    And yes, I can pass for a teenager and I’m 34.

  51. algarve2016 says

    Actor: Taylor Lautner

    Franchise: Twilight

    No, I’m 60 years old! Unless you are thinking could I pass for being a teacher in high school? Then yes…

  52. crack is whack says

    Sac Efron (type and it stays)

    Almost 30 would be “practically” old enough to have a high schooler, plus the “juice” he’s now taking.

    Optional? Ha ha ha … no.

  54. Summers says

    Zach Efron in the high school musical franchise

    I reckon with enough under eye concealer I could pass 😀 I’m 28

  58. PinkCrayon says

    Zac Efron?
    High School Musical?

    Optional: Yep. I can. I’ve been mistaken for a teen before. I’m 26.

  62. stolidog says

    Unfortunately, Zac Efron, while attractive, looks to be about 40, so maybe he could play a guidance counselor on High School Musical.

    And yes, I could pass for someone still in high school….the nearly retired chemistry teacher.

  64. johnnyjewel says

    ZAC EFRON
    HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

    He probably should be more worried about the tell-all.

  67. KBearr says

    Zac Efron

    High School Musical

    Possibly. I’m 40 but no one ever believes that. I’m short and people think I’m much younger than my real age.

    Zack Efron
    High School Musical

    ‘get off the juice…’ His buffing up has not exactly come naturally . . . .
