Since news broke that Fox is going to bring back to life the classic musical 'Grease' for a live TV musical, many have wondered who will star in it.

One of the names that has been thrown around is Zac Efron as a candidate to play the iconic character Danny Zuko, which John Travolta played in the 1978 film.

It is easy to imagine the 26 year-old heartthrob in the role, and with his past experience starring in the 'High School Musical' franchise, he would be a perfect fit.

But what does Efron think about starring in the proposed TV musical?

The actor spoke with E!News while attending the Los Angeles premiere of his new comedy 'Neighbors,' in which he stars alongside Seth Rogen, and was asked about potentially taking on a role in 'Grease.'

"That's an honor," he told the E! reporter. "Those are big shoes to fill. I think I came as close to it as you could in High School Musical."

"To actually do that?" he continued. "Yeah, those are big shoes."

Waterman stated. "Its iconic characters and addictive songs make it the perfect fit for Fox, and we're going to give it the kind of star power and production quality to make every Sandy, Danny, Rizzo and Kenickie out there want to get up and sing along."
