Acting in itself is an art that constantly needs work, improvement, emotion, and passion. Those who aspire to be in films practice for hours on end. No breaks, no short-cuts, and no doubt. Three secrets to reaching stardom and being a part of major, award-winning productions. Whether you are a television series or movie person, there is equal amount of effort behind that camera. Scenes are reshot hundreds of times and actors may not always recite their line perfectly, but that’s the beauty of the final product. Viewers witness the blood, sweat, and tears put into portraying the exact roles of each character. As the audience, we get to experience a collective piece of digital art.
Household names tend to be the Oscar-winning, ground-breaking actors. We know Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Sean Connery as James Bond, Robert Downey Jr. as Ironman, Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, etc.. The list goes on and on, cultivated from classic movies and shows. Not only are these humans extraordinary actors, they are down-to-earth souls that are just looking to bring light, laughter, and love into homes. Basically, a select few could be considered superheroes. Not many acknowledge the life-changing aspects of sitting down and engaging with movies. People relate to characters that actors are simply just intimidating. People empathize for a situation. People feel a joy that may have been missing from their day.
In simple terms, we know Zac Efron as a undeniably gifted actor. His roles range all along the spectrum of genres. Staring in High School Musical, The Lucky One, Bay Watch, The Greatest Showman, and Extremely Wicked Shockingly Evil and Vile, the celebrity appears as one of the most diverse actors of his time. Film goes far back in time to when Hollywood could be considered in its prime. Not many have done what Efron accomplished in his career, imagine what he could do with the rest of his time just as a thirty three year old. An expansive list of romance, horror, comedy, and child-friendly films is one of the reasons directors seek his talent out. Along with his niche for being in front of the camera, he does not fail to surprise his fans with many other vocations. Recently, on July 10, 2020, the actor released a documentary of his travels across the globe. During that period, he actively learned about the environment of countries and provided aid to those struggling around him. Sustainable living and geothermal energy were his main scientific focuses within the process. His connections throughout the world are apparent, and Efron claims he is “forever in debt with love for his supporters”. Whether they are fans from his Troy Bolton days or intrigued with his part in the Ted Bundy recreation, he honors his fans daily with visits, love, and kind words.
A major role in his ability to stay grounded as a human being and not get distracted by the fame would undoubtedly be his family. The relationship he shares with his father is unlike any other. He specifically makes time for adventure like they always did. Instagram posts from mountains to oceans from all continents are a main focus on his page. As well as, the people in the pictures. Father, David Efron, makes sure their father-son-bond exceeds the time his son spends working on films. Most know how time-consuming producing a major film is, and those who don’t would not think twice about what Efron really is doing with his life. He somehow balances a sense of normalcy with constant spot light.
Work like his takes a man like Zac Efron. One who is willing to put themselves out there and be vulnerable in unfamiliar positions. A certain charm to him enlightens the world to what purpose and love truly mean.
