After the success of the first film, Zac Efron returned for High School Musical 2 in 2007 which broke cable TV records. Additionally, in 2007 Zac took on the role of Link in the remake of Hairspray, which ultimately confirmed his star-like qualities. Although Zac wanted to steer away from musicals and take on more serious roles he agreed to film High School Musical 3: Senior Year which made whopping figures in cinemas on the opening weekend.

2009 – 2010

After his roles in musicals Zac landed his first movie away from the musical bubble, 17 Again; where he took the leading protagonist alongside Matthew Perry and Leslie Mann. Zac then dived into a romantic drama Charlie St Cloud, where fans witnessed his more serious acting skills.
