Zac Efron is a good actor. But sometimes we don't even notice, because the audience is so busy being blasted by images of his bare chest, bare back, bare stomach, bare butt...bare anything, really.
Not that anybody's complaining, of course. Nobody dislikes seeing Zac Efron naked. He is the definition of chiseled, after all. But it's hard not to notice that his shirtless bod is akin to a main character in most of his flicks. Take this weekend's release, Neighbors 2, for instance. Efron spends a considerable amount of screen time without fabric—there's even a special dance scene that we're going to tease you about and then ultimately leave you hanging. And we can promise you that those gratuitous muscle shots will be one of the main things drawing you to the theater—besides the opportunity to see Seth Rogen battle it out against teenage girls, of course.
So in that vein, it's time to put your Zac expertise to the test, with a battle of the bulges. Muscle bulges, that is; get your heads out of the gutter. Below you will find shots of Efron's shirtless torso in all its rippled glory, from every stage of his big screen career. Do you have what it takes to identify the corresponding movie? Or will you find that you were so distracted by his perfect pecs that you took away nothing about the movies themselves. Only time will tell.
