Your childhood is about to be ruined (in the best way possible), so get ready for that. If you've ever wondered what High School Musical would look like all grown up, there's a parody trailer you need to see. YouTuber ElleOfTheMills created an epic mashup of 50 Shades of Grey and HSM, andas one Twitter user put it, "The innocence of HSM is officially gone." Yep! That's pretty accurate. Zac Efron aka Troy Bolton makes a pretty great Christian in If Troy Bolton Were Like Christian Grey. We still can't tell if this is kind of creepy, or actually perfect. We'll let you decide. The creator writes in her video caption, "Thought this video would be a funny concept as High School Musical and 50 Shades of Grey aren't exactly the most compatible of movies lol." True, but it kind of works with the chemistry between Troy and Gabriella.

Comments loved the mashup writing, "Gurrlll if this was real I would watch it!!" Um, same. Another wrote, "Why watch 50 Shades when you can watch this?" Truly that is the question of the day. Basically the moral of the story here is that there needs to be more of these videos, and they also need to become real movies in the future. Just saying. From the looks of the comment section on her YouTube channel, it seems she's going to be making vids like this each week, so cheers to that.

ElleOfTheMills also created If Stranger Things Were a Romantic Comedy, which we highly recommend, and If American Horror Story Were a Romantic Comedy. Pure talent, ladies and gentleman. Pure talent. As for the HSM clip, you have to admit, the angsty (and shirtless) moments with Troy are so Christian Grey it hurts, right? Like when he's standing outside of Vanessa Hudgens' door? C'mon! Too real. Also who knew basketball could be so racy? Don't take our word for it; see for yourself in the video above.
