There are famous people and celebrities who started their careers from a very young age, and their fans they have been able to keep track of them ever since. One of them is actor Zac Efron, who played Troy Bolton in High School Musical, the famous Disney musical movie saga. It seems like only yesterday that he stole our hearts on the basketball court!
But time flies by, and the actor said goodbye to the high school uniform several yesterdays ago; Regardless of whether you are a celebrity, it is inevitable that many things will change over the years. Proof of this is that our beloved Zac had to say goodbye to his roles as a single boy to welcome more mature performances, such as the role of his father in the movie Firestarter.
The 34-year-old actor has decided to let his career evolve and mature, so he’s already looking for roles where he doesn’t exactly play love interest or teen star. The new characters that Zac plays are mature, adult men who will help him grow as an actor.
That is why he accepted what will be his first role as a family man in the film Firestarter, based on the novel of the same name by Stephen Kind. In this film, Zac will play Andy McGee, a man who will do everything possible to protect her daughter Charlie, who has the power of pyrokinesis and is persecuted by an agency that wants to capture her.
The news of Zac’s participation in the film, which will be released on May 12, was a surprise to all his faithful followers, who have made comments in which they say they feel old when they see that their favorite actor has already started acting. Like dad. Oh! Where did our youth go?
The tweet and the jokes from the fans of the actor did not wait, and they wrote in their accounts that they refuse to accept that their beloved Zac is already old enough to act as a teenage father. Obviously, the laughs were not lacking.

2. He can’t, he’s still too young to be
I just saw a trailer in which Zac Efron plays the father, but that can’t be because he’s the teenager Troy Bolton, he’s not old enough to be a father haha

Zac’s new role not only caused surprise among his followers, but presenter Jimmy Kimmel could not hide his reaction either. In days gone by, Zac went to his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and the presenter told him how strange it will be to see him as a gentleman in charge of protecting a home. Zac, in turn, agreed with him, not without clarifying that this is the path of an actor.
Yes it’s strange. I wasn’t really thinking about it much, but then I got there and a lot of people started pointing it out pretty quickly. But, I mean, for me, I just have to hang out; Acting involves doing a lot of things that you never thought you were going to do, so playing a father just lines up with acting.

There is no doubt that he is no longer the teenager that we all fell in love with in our youth, but we are sure that he will do great in this new stage of his career. We can’t wait to see him as dad!
