Some people make better friends than lovers, and that seems to be the case with Zac Efron and Lily Collins. The two actors—romantically linked for three months in 2012—were photographed leaving a movie theater together in Hollywood on Friday, Oct. 11.

The 25-year-old actor and 24-year-old actress left in Efron's car. Following their reported breakup last summer, a source close to the stars told E! News that their love story was blown out of proportion.

"They were never really together, so you could say they split, but they were never an official couple," the source said at the time. "They hung out a bit, but it was super casual."

Collins, of course, went on to date her Mortal Instruments: City of Bones costar Jamie Campbell Bower. They called it quits after a year together in August 2013.

Efron, meanwhile, has been focused on himself this year—and rightfully so. As exclusively reported by E! News in September, the New Year's Eve star sought treatment in the spring for alcohol dependency. "He's healthy, happy and not drinking," a source said. "He's taking time to focus on working."

Indeed, the rehabbed star has two projects in post-production: That Awkward Moment, costarring Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan, and Neighbors, costarring Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne and Dave Franco.
