On the New Year?s Eve edition of The Graham Norton Show, handsome megastar Zac Efron shared a compelling story about a phone call from one of his idols. The phone call brought the Neighbors actor to tears.
Efron spoke about a very special phone call he received from Michael Jackson. He recalled how High School Musical director Kenny Ortega handed the phone off to him during a call with Jackson. Efron gushed about how MJ was his hero and other standard things you do when you speak with a personal god. Jackson wrapped up the call, but wound up placing another one to Efron. Efron shared, ?I picked up the phone and I go, ?Hello?? and he goes, ?Oh this is Zac from High School Musical, and I was like, ?Uh, yeah.? And he was like, ?Oh I love what you do. I?m a huge fan."
Efron explained to Jackson what an inspiration he was. The tears began flowing for both parties.
