This is new Zac Efron hairstyle in 2011 at the People’s Choice Awards and probably thinking about how handsome he is, we would if we were him.. He’s also known for his long locks of hair, which normally cover his ears and stop just short of the shoulder. Today, everything has changed with his hairstyle. Here, we shall have a look at Zac Efron short hair

New Zac Efron’s hairstyle: buzz cut hairstyle

Zac Efron has an upcoming role in a movie in which he will play a marine. In an effort to get ready for this role, he decided to go ahead and get his haircut to a style close to what he’s going to wear during the filming of that movie. However, he’s got had long hair for such a long time that this haircut has left him missing his hair.

Today, Zac Efron’s hair is very closely cropped on the back and sides. He’s left it a little bit longer on top, but it is still so short it stands up on its own without any type of hair products being used. This is one type of haircut that is accepted by military standards for males. It is not as severe as some of the cuts worn by typical marines, however.

One benefit for Zac Efron with this new hairstyle is that he doesn’t need to bother about keeping a comb or brush handy to refresh his hairstyle during the course of the day. Even after sleeping on it, the hair maintains its hairstyle without maintenance on his part except an occasional washing.

The Zac Efron buzz cut is a look that lots of fans will require some time to get used to having seen him for so long with longer blone hair. Fortunately, they aren’t alone. Zac is needing some time to get used to it as well.

So… what exactly are we thinking? We’ve got to say that, we do miss his gorgeous messy looks, but the fact that he chopped them off for charity is fairly sexy right?

But who cares our opinion, it’s just our jobs to sit here and look pretty !

October 16, 2010 – Vanessa Hudgens and her little sister Stella Hudgens go for a walk along the seashore to watch the beautiful sunset outside their hotel in Hawaii. Both are there to celebrate the opening of the new, Waikiki Edition Hotel in Honolulu.

Zac’s fans were astonished to Zac Efron with a beard at the premiere of Charlie St.Cloud during the 36th Deauville American Film Festival in Deauville, France yesterday. Shocked, you say? Nothing unusual about that. Who hasn’t seen Zac with his beard before?

FYI: Zac Efron is wearing the modern Calibre de Cartier stainless-steel watch.

***UPDATE: We erroneous posted the image of Zac Efron with girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens under the headline ‘Zac Efron with a beard,’

OH. MY. GOD. Please tell me this is a reject from Madame Tussauds? Apparently, the movie star good looking Zac has decided to grow facial fur for an upcoming role in the Clark Gable biopic. George Clooney is expected to film the latter half of the movie to play Clark in his later years.  What is your opinion of Zac Efron’s beard and mustache – LOVE IT or LEAVE IT?

Zac Efron used to get closer to girls by asking them to braid his hair.

The ‘High School Musical’ hunk – who has been dating his former co-star Vanessa Hudgens on the set of the musical children’s movie in 2005 – used to befriend his female classmates by letting them fiddle with his locks when he was a teenager.

Lana Limon, who studied with Zac at the California State Summer School for the Arts, said: “I braided his hair one day, and he left it in for a long time. And then we finally took it out and it was all greasy and crimped. It was just for fun.

“He ended up drawing huge lips of one page of my scrapbook with his name inside and his phone number.”

Despite his flirty ways as a teenager, Zac and Vanessa have been happily dating for five years.

The 22-year-old actor even tipped the beauty $20 when he watched her performing in ‘Rent’ at The Hollywood Bowl during her sexy striptease to ‘Out Tonight’.

Zac Efron’s hair flirting

Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend, Zac Efron, made a decision to take a time to relaxation time. They’re in Hawaii!

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were spotted walking on the Maui beach yesterday, August 21st. Looks like these folks were having a lot fun taking photos together and playing on the water.

Zac and Vanessa, or simply just Zanessa, are likely to complete 5 years together on September 1st. Are they in Hawaii to celebrate their anniversary? Of course, we Filipinos recently knew that it looks like they’ll go here in the Philippines. We still don’t know.

Throughout their getaway, Zac Eforn and Vanessa Hudgens had a blast relaxing on the beach and splashing in the water, both looking stunning in their respective swimsuits.

And it sounds like Vanessa should keep an eye on her guy, as Elizabeth Hurley recently hinted that she was digging Zac.

The “Austin Powers” babe tweeted, “Watching one of the High School Musicals with my son. The cougar in me loves Zac Efron.”

Zac Efron has always considered his childhood to be normal in a middle class family. His father, David Efron, is an engineer at a power plant, and his mother, Starla Baskett, is a former secretary who worked at the same power plant and has a younger brother, Dylan.

Here are some of  Zac Efron’s childhood photos:

He has said that he would “flip out” if he got a ‘B’ and not an ‘A’ in school, and that he was a “class clown.” Efron’s father encouraged him to begin acting when Zac Efron was eleven; he subsequently appeared in theater productions at his high school, worked in a theater called the Melodrama, began taking singing lessons, performed in plays such as Gypsy, Peter Pan, Little Shop of Horrors, The Music Man and Mame, appearing at the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts. Zac Efron was recommended to an agent in Los Angeles by his drama teacher, Robyn Metchik (the mother of actors Aaron Michael Metchik and Asher Metchik). Zac Efron has two dogs, Australian shepherds named Dreamer and Puppy, and a Siamese cat, named Simon.

Despite now being the sexiest guy Disney has ever permitted on its payroll, Zac Efron reckons he wasn’t cool in his high school days.

The 21-year-old actor insisted to Family Circle that he was nothing like his popular-guy character in High School Musical growing up.

“I was average,” he said.

“I had a lot of friends but I was not in that ultra cool circle. I was a bit of a class clown. I guess to get through the tedium of the quadratic formula, I thought everyone was fair game.

“Between self-discovery and the social hierarchy, high school can be the most confusing time of your life.”
