HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL - EFRON STEERS CLEAR OF PARTY SCENE

EFRON STEERS CLEAR OF PARTY SCENE

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL star ZAC EFRON makes a conscious effort to stay away from the Hollywood party scene - because he doesn't want to "fall victim" to temptation like other young stars.
The actor reached the U.S. legal drinking age of 21 in October (08), but admits that although he does enjoy a little alcohol he is careful never to party to excess.
And Efron puts his mindful attitude down to his dedication to his career - because he knows it is easy for young actors to destroy their prospects if their lifestyle gets too wild.
He says, "There's a time for celebration and I partake, sure. But, you know, it's important not to let that become too big of a distraction. The more you have access to, the harder it is to remain focused.
"You know what, I do not want to fall victim to that, it's too easy and too often done. It's out of style anyway, I think too many people have done it before me, I'm not going to. It's uncool, yeah. I think the rebellious thing to do would to actually be successful (sic)."
