Zac

I mean why not? It’s not like I have another friend that has this buff body, who tends to do wild and outlandish things with said body. Plus I really want to become a hell of a lot more active. I don’t think I’ve done any real exercise since The Greatest Showman. This is clearly your fault, and you need to fix it. I’m not sure how it’s your fault, but it sounds like a great place to start. I’m aware you can take care of yourself, but I still want to help. I want to spend time with you.

Oh so it’s all about the body, you know if you wanted to see me shirtless all you had to do was ask. But in all seriousness, I would love to teach you, help you get more active. I’ll start taking you on hikes with me too. How is it my fault though? It’s a two way street you know this right? So we spend more time together, it’s that simple, Zen.

You could have a whole entourage of people, one with a fan, one with a spray bottle, one with popsicles on hand and one with a cooler of beer when you’re ready to crack open a cold one with the boys. Yeah I’ve been good, being doing a few shows here and there, I’ve mostly been at home with the family.

Okay I need to add you to my team because I think that is by far the greatest thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I think I need to find people to do this for me now, I mean it would make me look like an asshole but at least I would be cool. How is the family? I have to actually stop by sometime, I feel like it’s been forever since you and I even spoke more than a few minutes.

I have to say, I think I prefer the snowy winters back home over this hellish LA heat. Only barely though, because at least you can bundle up when it’s cold. There’s only so many clothes you can peel off in public before it becomes illegal. That is a lot of tights. Would you honor me with a couple more ‘tight’s if I promise to not steal your mom away from you?

Hey I’m the lucky one here I can step outside in just a pair of shorts so I’m not going to complain to much, but I do see your point because I’m pretty sure it would be illegal for me to walk around outside with my pants off. Well if you don’t steal my mom I think there’s a few more tights in my vocabulary that I can throw your way.

That’s right, but if I’m honest with you, a lot of things down there are so weird. I don’t miss the giant weird animals we had down there. I put on sunscreen and I still burn in a matter of moments, I reflect in the light i’m so pale.

I think I would spend a lot of time down there if I could, but I think that also might be because I’m not from there so it’s not all things that I see all the time. I want to pet a kangaroo, it’s a huge item on the bucket list. I’ll just cover you in gallons of sunblock.

I like being in the house when I desperately need a break after filming something. Other than that, I try my hardest not to be a homebody. It’s tough, I hate to say I’m a little used to it, though. I’ve been doing it for more than a decade. She has! She is my biggest fan and calls immediately after any release of mine. Thank you! I’m glad you took the time to watch and enjoyed it enough to support. I could have sent you a package. I had to watch High School Musicals with the younger girls in my family I babysat. I enjoyed them, actually. Your face was plastered all over their walls and t-shirts. Exactly. I’m sure some people would like to see or hear about it but I don’t think either of our mums would.

Oh if I’ve been working all the time then I would practically beg for just a few hours alone in my house. It’s a way to just recollect yourself. Maybe you and I can get together from time to time, we’ll take a hike, hit the gym, get you out of the house. If you’re still willing to send me a Loki package I will be down to accept because damn that’s a great show. Everyone one I know has always been about the Avengers but here I am like ‘Give me Loki, that’s my boy’ I’m not about Iron Man or Thor, none, just Loki. Well I am so sorry they made you sit through those, but thank you for not telling me that they were awful. Tell them I said hi next time you talk to them. My mom would kill me, so that’s a big no, I clearly didn’t think that one through.

Oh Zac, you know that once I start I never stop. Not until the whole world burns. I could throw in some more shady spots for you so you don’t die this summer, we’ll see how I feel. I will always laugh at you, it’s one of the greatest joys in my life. I’m not trading places with you. You wouldn’t make a believable Aubrey and I have a lot of work to do over here before I can come home.

The whole world can burn but of course I’m going to ask that you not burn me with the world. Yes! Give me another tree, a second bush, something to provide a little more shade this summer. You can laugh at me but the next time you do something ridiculous I’m never going to stop laughing at you. What is it that you’re working on over there?

don’t get me wrong, i’m thankful that t’ fans are being so invested ‘cause i feel like if it weren’t for them, i wouldn’t be doing me dream job, so in a way kinda feel as if i do owe them an explanation but at the same time, i don’t?  'cause it’s my own life? yes because you’re a guy!! guys 'ave it way easier? well semi-easier, do you get questions all t’ time about when it’s going t’ be your turn on gettin’ someone pregnant? or dropping down ont’ one now? yes me too, i wouldn’t want t’ bring a little human int’ this world known that t’ relationship isn’t going t’ last? i love that idea!! do you 'ave any nieces and nephews t’ spoil?

I know that one because I know that I wouldn’t be here without them either. but I don’t think you really owe them an answer. You may have your job because of them, but they’re not the reason that you have your life, and it’s just that, it’s yours so you don’t owe them anything but kindness and respect really. I am glad that I don’t get questions like that, I would hate to have to deflect them onto something else because that’s just a little too personal and it’s not for them to know. It’s bad enough that they know every relationship that we have. You’re making the right choice by waiting to find the right person. I do! I have a few of them that I like to spoil. They inspire me and I spoil them

Well I’ve been meaning to talk to you about something!! So you know how you’re really into the outdoors and being…well active. Well I’ve been wanting to learn taekwondo, and who better to ask than you? That’s because we haven’t spent time together in forever. I think it’s been a good few months now. Me? A fan? Of course I’m a fan. I just happen to know more songs from those two movies. See! This is why I need to learn her trade! That way I can keep you on track when she’s not around!

And you want me to teach you? I mean I think I’m a little rusty  but there’s a few things that I can show you if you really want me to. yeah the last time I saw you I’m pretty sure it was still cold out so I would say that it’s been a few months. As long as you’re a fan, I’m not going to complain too much But I don’t need someone to keep track of me, I can take care of myself. Though, I mean, does it give you an excuse to hang out a lot more?

Is this you saying you don’t want to spend time with one of your good friends this weekend? Because that’s okay if you can’t. I did kind of spring it on you when I really should of asked if you’re even free. No, those are really the only two I know. The second only because I was in it too, and they happen to be my favorite songs from the movie. You don’t hate me! Do I need to tell Mama Efron that you’re lying to me now?

No! I’m kidding, Zen. I would love to hang out with you this weekend. I don’t know what you have planned but I would love to do it regardless. It feels like it’s been forever since we’ve gotten the chance to hang out. Well, here I was thinking you were actually a fan of my work. You better not be callin’ my mamma, she deals with my shit all the time. let my momma rest.

Because it’s supposed to be even hotter this weekend. I’m saving my complaining for then, because then you can give me a hard time about it. I’ll even let you shove me into the water if it makes you feel any better. No, I will not and you can’t let me! From Now On, I’m going to remind you just how amazing all of your songs are. Movies or not. We are going to Rewrite The Stars and make sure you’re not referred to as “That guy from High School Musical”  and you’re going to come out on The Other Side. You know, you say that, but I really don’t believe it. 

What? Is this you expecting us to hang out all weekend?  I mean I would have to check my schedule, see if I’m clear, you know from surprise hangouts from friends that I don’t know nothing about. Okay Zen, you are very informed on my career, you’ve made that clear, though I have to say that I do like this reference better than the HSM ones. I hate you sometimes.

You need to hire someone to just constantly follow you around with a fan, I’m sure people will line up for miles for the job. So how have you been?

I would love that or just someone to spray me with water all day. I would be content. I’ve been good, man! What about you? Besides the whole tour thing, you’ve been good?

I have and it’s nowhere near as hot as it’s been in the past. This is just…mild. Don’t be like that! If you’re overheating, let me help you. Honestly I feel like you’re just looking for a reason to complain. I mean we’re all in this together, right? One might even say this is the start of something new. We are breaking free and no one can tell us otherwise.  So get’cha head in the game, and let me shove you into the water! Oh it’s totally both! I gotta keep you in line, but also, she’s just a brilliant woman.

Mild? How is this mild, Zen? I am dying here and it’s like you don’t even care. And no, shoving me in a large body of water does not count as helping. Did you- Get out, out out out, I have never heard someone use that many HSM references in one conversation and the fact that you know all of those to have them flow so freely. We cant be friends anymore. Hey, no one keeps me in line.. expect my momma.

Every time I put my hair up into a bun, I think back to the first time Jupiter saw me with one and laugh cause the face she was making and the way she was staring at me was so funny! She was like “Mom, what the heck is on top of your head right now?” Fast forward to now, she’s somewhat used to it but she still stares at me weirdly sometimes when I have a bun, haha. Anyway, hi, I’m Ashley! @tftmstarters

I look at you weird when you have a whole ball of hair sitting at the top of you head so I can’t blame her that much. Can we discuss the whole me not seeing your child thing? I thought we were friends here, Ashley. How is she anyway?

Oh come on Zac, it’s not that bad! I’ll even do you a solid and push you into the nearest lake, river or ocean. I’ll let you take your pick, but I would choose wisely. Personally I’d go with a lake, but the choice is completely up to you. As for your mom, I’ve always been a fan of her, and her choice words for her son. I should really take notes at this point.

It’s not that bad? Have you even been outside? Well, if I had to chose I would choose the ocean because it’s a little more adventurous and because Lakes and Rivers as so much easier to get to, I don’t want you to shove me into the water. Do you want to take notes because she’s smart? Or to keep me in line?

they ‘ave and they ‘aven’t!! it’s mainly t’ fans who ‘aven’t been fans for a while? and some family members too, because me older brother karl ‘as two kids himself, i kinda feel like i’m t’ last one. I would love kids some day but i’ve just gotta find a stable relationship first before anything like that ‘appens. well maybe i want t’ start labeling everything for me girls, they’re going t’ be too tired t’ do it. Monica is great though. It’s nice to meet you too Zac.

I think you get that with a lot of fans really. They just get so invested that they want to start asking things like that. I don’t think they realize how it makes us feel. I mean, not that I get the same kind of things that you do, but it’s still pretty much the same thing. I think when it comes to having kids it’s best to be in a relationship that you know you’re going to have for a very long time. That’s the way I see it. You’re going to be the cool aunt that gets to spoil the kids and send them back to their moms all hyped up on sugar.

Absolutely. Summer is usually oriented towards those activities more than anything and of course it has to be the season where you sweat to death from just sitting in your car. Oh, yeah. Mothers go through so much to bring us into this world and raise us, I can’t imagine not appreciating them. You’re right. It’s a little tougher sometimes having to stay in LA, due to working, while she’s in England but I do my best to have a monthly trip if I can. Oh, man. Maybe we’ll do that when it’s two am and everyone is inside their houses asleep.

I don’t like being in the house so all the outdoor activities are my thing unless I can die from it, which this heat is going to do if I try to stay outside too long. I’ve been away from my mom for a lot of my career but it hasn’t REALLY been countries apart, so I can’t even imagine what it’s like to not be able to see her. Has your mom seen Loki yet? Great show by the way. I may have bought a sweatshirt. Well you do have a point there, I don’t think I want us being naked all over the internet because we decided it was too hot not to run naked in the rain.

Yikes. I do have to admit that your mom was right, which is why I started putting those window covers in my car when I get out. It doesn’t help a whole lot but it helps enough for me to justify the twenty minutes it takes for me to figure out how to put in my window each time. This summer has been pretty hot so far, I’ll agree with you on that.

I don’t even have one of those, which I should really look into getting. I can only burn myself so many times.. I’m just waiting for it to really click in my brain that I should get one. This summer has been the hottest summer I can remember. It’s crazy.
