Zac Efron appeared in a parody poking fun at Disney’s High School Musical franchise when he starred as host of SNL over the weekend.
The 21-year-old, who played Troy Bolton in the first three HSM films, spoofed his career by giving a commencement address to a class of East High seniors.
“Here’s the deal, no one sings at college, and from what I can tell, this is America’s only singing high school,” Troy says. “People just stared at me, there was zero choreography, zero!”

Are weddings bells about to ring for young lovers Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens? According to National Enquirer spies Disney heartbreaker Zac Efron popped the question to his co-star sweetheart, Vanessa Hudgens, while the pair were in Japan promoting the release of High School Musical 3 last month.
Tabloid tattles say the engagement a spur of the moment thing, mostly meant to calm Vanessa’s super-conservative mom who has spoken out against the 21-year-olds recent decision to move in together.
“Zac hasn’t given Vanessa a ring yet. But he’s hoping the proposal will buy him some time with Vanessa’s super-strict mom, Gina, who didn’t approve of the sweethearts living together before they were married.”
