Zac Efron Rocks the Red Carpet

Zac Efron (in Hugo Boss) flashes his big, broad smile, sandwiched between co-stars Nikki Blonsky and Amanda Bynes on the red carpet of the premiere of Hairspray on Monday at NYC’s Ziegfeld Theatre.

Recently, it was announced that Zac will be filling the shoes of Kevin Bacon in the re-make of Footloose. He recently told Access Hollywood, “No, I could never be Kevin Bacon. Kevin is, um, so talented — he made such an iconic film… I don’t think I could ever recreate that, but then again that’s not really what we’re setting out to do. The challenge is always, ‘how do you approach that without remaking the film to a ‘T.’ I’m not worried about that, because I don’t think I could do what Kevin Bacon does in the film. I’m gonna try to do something different, [but] equally exciting.”
