Zac Efron Busts a Surgical Move
Tue., Jan. 15, 2008 1:10 PM PST by Natalie Finn
Zac Efron's style has been cramped.
The High School Musical star underwent an emergency appendectomy Tuesday at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, E! News has confirmed.
"He had his appendix removed and is recuperating," Efron's rep said.
On Monday, Walt Disney Studios confirmed that the 20-year-old heartthrob and costars Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Monqiue Coleman and Corbin Bleu will be returning for the theatrical sequel HSM3: Senior Year. Production is set to kick off this spring with director Kenny Ortega once again behind the camera.
"I am the luckiest guy in the world, and I know it," said Ortega, who last week scored a Directors Guild of America award nomination for his work on HSM2. "This will be our last time together, and I love working with these kids so much. It's going to be great."
Efron, who already knows his way around the big screen thanks to his breakout role in Hairspray, put his mainstream success into perspective in Details magazine's January-February issue.
"It's weird, I don't feel like I deserve any of the attention," the actor said. "There's really nothing but one audition for a Disney Channel movie that separates me from 2,000 other brown-haired, blue-eyed guys in L.A., you know?"
