Zac Efron pays tribute to Mathhew Perry
In his speech, Efron, who became famous as a teenager through the Disney film series "High School Musical", remembered his colleague Matthew Perry, who died in October at the age of 54. While filming the comedy "17 Again - Back to High School" (2009) together, Perry was "so kind and generous" towards him, said Efron. That motivated him a lot at the time and advanced his career. He wanted to thank Perry for that.
Guest speaker Miles Teller (36, "Whiplash") raved about Efron's charisma as a film star, his kindness and conscientiousness. They were co-stars in the buddy comedy "Forever Single?" (2014). As long as he can remember, he has been acting, singing and dancing. But never in his "wildest dreams" did he imagine he would one day be standing here, said Efron, visibly moved.
Efron's film "The Iron Claw" will be released in cinemas in mid-December. The fact-based family drama revolves around four US brothers who made a career as professional wrestlers in the 1980s.
He celebrated his breakthrough with his role as young basketball star Troy Bolton in the TV musical"High School Musical" (2006) alongside Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale. He also starred in two sequels. After comedies such as "Bad Neighbors", "Dirty Grandpa" and "Baywatch", Efron appeared in films such as "Greatest Showman", "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile" and "The Greatest Beer Run Ever".
On their 9th birthday, the palace in Monaco published a new photo of the twins Jacques and Gabriella. This and more celebrity news in the VIP news.
