After landing a multi-million deal to appear in the third installment of High School Musical, Disney has sponsored a new look for Zac Efron.

“He was getting his hair cut for a production,” one witness reveals to OK!. “And the producers were making him color it. Someone from the production was with Zac, guiding the stylists through it.” According to the witness, they even brought a color sample — a darker brown than fans are used to seeing on the young star’s adorable head — that they’re trying to match.

“He was really cute, nice and not pretentious at all,” the OK! source adds. “I don’t think he’s gay either.”
