Zac Efron, the new kid on Hollywood’s teen idol block, a blue-eyed Californian with old Hollywood triple treat skills, sing, dance & act that should send him on the Depp-DiCaprio track. 

Every year or so a new teen idol emerges on the Hollywood scene with looks that guarantee magazine covers, fill theatres and send girls around the world into a tizz.

Some of these idols, let’s say Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio, stick around long enough to shrug off the teen heart-throb tag, make serious movies, perhaps play a boozed up pirate or a drug addict, and score Oscar nominations.

Efron, the 19-year-old can sing, dance and act on stage or the big screen and, with all that talent, in 2007, has emerged as Hollywood’s most marketable teenage property.

Physically, Efron stands isn’t very tall but if you have a daughter aged between six to 18, he is most likely stapled on one of her bedroom walls.
