Zac Efron is the 'Furthest Thing From a Prima Donna,' Says Director Max Joseph

Zac Efron rocks a red backpack while keeping a low profile at LAX Airport on Wednesday night (September 24) in Los Angeles.

The 26-year-old actor’s We Are Your Friends director Max Joseph recently opened up about working for him.

“He’s amazing. He is a world-class person,” Max told MTV. “He’s the first person to say hello to everyone and he’s the furthest thing from a prima donna. He’s extremely professional, always in a good mood and keeps things light. He loves the crew. He’s a trooper, and we have a good time.”

Max continued, “We talk about a lot of stupid stuff outside of the film and show each other videos about other movies and characters and shots that we like. He’s just been a great collaborator, and I couldn’t ask for anything more from the star of my first feature. He really is bringing everything he’s got. People are going to be really pleasantly surprised. It’s a balanced performance, and I think people are going to wake up and say ‘Holy sh-t, Zac Efron!’ He was funny in Neighbors and great elsewhere, but this movie really steps up his game.”
