Eye Candy Sunday (On Monday)

So much for upholding tradition. Last night I succumbed to a Harry Potter movie marathon (what is it about movie marathons and me?) seeing as the sixth movie is coming out on wednesday. Just as well I watched them all again because I'd totally forgotten about a bunch of things...but I wont go into that, I'll leave that for another post.

Anyway this weeks Eye Candy is all singing all dancing, Californian born, actor Zac Efron. Cards on the table, I wasnt a fan of his, really I wasnt. Can you imagine me sitting through High School Musical? No. Exactly. But when I was dragged to see his latest film 17 Again I couldnt help but become a fan. The guys not only ridiculously good looking but he's funny to, and yeah he can sing. He's a triple threat in Hollywood. He started off on bit spots on American TV until he got his first major role in a TV show called Summerland where he looked adorably cute with this huge gap in between his teeth. Thankfully by the time he appeared in High School Musical the gap had gone and now stood a pretty hot teen idol. He's graced countless magazines, won tones of teen choice awards, topped endless "best looking" polls, gets bombarded with papparrazi every where he goes, yet he wants to be taken seriously as an actor. He pulled out of doing a remake of "Footloose" as he wanted to stay away from musicals (Chace Crawford took his place) as I think the guy fears thats all he'll be known for - I get it, really I do. I like Zac, despite that his girlfriend really cant act and secretly loves the cameras but makes a huge fuss wherever she goes, apart from that, the guys cool. I think he'll do well, no doubt about it what with his huge fanbase. I just hope he scores some roles as a bad guy or something, ya no, like a good looking troublemaker - that'd be cool.

People are saying Rob Pattinson is the new Zac Efron but, to be honest, they are in two completely different genres of film and have totally different acting styles that I dont think its fair to compare them. Although if I had to say which was better looking Rob wins, but thats only because I like my men to be able to play the guitar...
